Il- laqg\u0127a Prayer Cafe tat-23 ta\u2019 Frar \u0121iet imexxi mis-Sur Joe Huber. Fiha \u0121ie diskuss il-qari tat-tieni \u0126add tar-Randan. Papa Fran\u0121isku spiss i\u0127e\u0121\u0121i\u0121na biex naqraw l-Iskrittura bl-istess \u0127erqa li biha \u0120esu tkellem dwarha fit-triq ta\u2019 G\u0127emmaws.<\/p>\n
Is-salib deher li kien it-tmiem anki g\u0127all-appostli, tant li kif qal il-Papa ftit ilu, dawn re\u0121g\u0127u lura lejn xog\u0127lhom. Infatti fil-Van\u0121elu naqraw dwar is-sajda mirakolu\u017ca li \u0121rat wara l-qawmien mill-mewt ta\u2019 \u0120esu. I\u017cda minkejja dan bil-mi\u0121ja tal-Ispirtu s-Santu huma fehmu li s-salib kien l-g\u0127ajn tal-\u0127ajja u tal-qawmien.<\/p>\n
Fit-tieni \u0126add tar-Randan il-Knisja ttina t-Trasfigurazzjoni quddiem it-tliet appostli fuq il-muntanja Tabor. Din il-\u0121rajja \u0121rat dritt wara l-ewwel t\u0127abbira tal-mewt ta\u2019 \u0120esu. It- tliet Van\u0121eli sinotti\u010bi (Mattew, Mark, Luqa) jirrakuntawh u jqieg\u0127duh e\u017catt wara l-famu\u017ca xena fejn minkejja li \u0120esu kien qallu li se jibni l-Knisja tieg\u0127u fuqu, e\u017catt wara lil Pietru j\u010banfru bil-goff u jg\u0127idlu: \u201cItlaq minn quddiemi ja xitan.\u201d<\/p>\n
G\u0127aliex? \u0120esu stess itina t-twe\u0121iba. Lil Pietru jg\u0127idlu li qed jirra\u0121una bil-mo\u0127\u0127 ta\u2019 bniedem u mhux b\u0127al Alla. Mill-\u0121did insibu lil Pietru jirra\u0121una b\u0127ala biedem fix-xena tat-trasfigurazzjoni: ir-reazzjoni tieg\u0127u li anki f\u2019g\u0127ajnejna tidher paradossali hi mqanqla minn \u017cew\u0121 emozzjonijiet umani: il-bi\u017ca\u2019 u t-tama.<\/p>\n
Fil-ktieb \u2018\u0120esu di Nazaret\u2019 Joseph Ratzinger (Benedittu XVI) jikteb li Luqa, jibda r-rakkont tieg\u0127u li jwassal g\u0127al dan l-episodju bil-paradoss: Waqt li \u0120esu kien jitlob wa\u0127du d-dixxipli isiru \u0127a\u0121a wa\u0127da ma\u2019 \u0120esu li wa\u0127du qieg\u0127ed jitkellem mal-Missier. Jarawh ikellem lill-Missier wi\u010b\u010b imb\u2019wi\u010b\u010b u li s-setg\u0127a tieg\u0127u kienet \u0121ejja mill-Missier. Huma qed jaraw xi \u0127a\u0121a li l-bnedmin l-o\u0127ra ma setg\u0127ux jarawha, ittihom opinjoni differenti g\u0127ax ittihom g\u0127arfien li jmur \u2018l hinn mill-oppinjonijiet tal-bnedmin. Huwa fuq dan li Kristu bena l-Knisja tieg\u0127u!<\/p>\n
Imma lit-tlieta, insej\u0127ulhom hekk, ipprivile\u0121\u0121ati, irid jurihom aktar minn hekk. Ma ninsewx li dan l-episodju tat-trasfigurazzjoni nsibuh lejn it-tmien tal-\u0127ajja ta\u2019 \u0120esu, hu u sejjer lejn \u0120erusalemm fejn wara d-da\u0127la trijonfali l-burdata tan-nies marret fl-oppost\u00a0 u mxewxin mill-kbarat g\u0127ajjtu; Sallbu<\/em>!<\/p>\n B\u2019din l-esperjenza tat-trasfigurazzjoni, \u0120esu ried jg\u0127in lid-dixxipli jeg\u0127lbu l-kri\u017ci li kienu jinsabu fiha meta hu \u0127abbar il-mewt tieg\u0127u.<\/p>\n Il-van\u0121elu tat-trasfigurazzjoni jinqasam:<\/p>\n 2-4 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u0120esu jinbidel quddiem id-dixxipli<\/p>\n 5-6 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ir-reazzjoni ta\u2019 Pietru<\/p>\n 7-8 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Il-Kelma li nstemg\u0127et li tispjega s-sens tat-trasfigurazzjoni<\/p>\n 9-10 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u0120esu jwissi lid-dixxipli biex ma jg\u0127idu lil \u0127add dwar dak li raw.<\/p>\n Fil-fatt huma baqg\u0127u ma tkellmux min\u0127abba l-bi\u017ca\u2019 umana g\u0127ax ma setg\u0127ux jemmnu dak li raw, forsi, imma l-aktar il-Bi\u017ca\u2019 t\u2019Alla, cioe wie\u0127ed mid-doni tal-Ispirtu s-Santu.<\/p>\n San Pawl ukoll jg\u0127idilna fi kliem ie\u0127or: \u201cebda g\u0127ajn qatt ma rat ebda widna qatt ma semg\u0127et dak li \u0127ejja Alla g\u0127al dawk li j\u0127obbuh.\u201d It-tema tas-segretezza tirrikorri spiss fil-Van\u0121elu ta\u2019 San Mark li fih it-teolo\u0121i jaraw il-prin\u010bipju \u201ctas-sigriet Messjaniku\u201d li l-evan\u0121elista jtina s-soluzzjoni tieg\u0127u fl-istqarrija ta\u010b-\u010benturjun meta jistqarr \u201cDan tassew kien Iben Alla\u201d.<\/p>\n \u0120esu deher jitkellem ma\u2019 Mose u Elija.

Festa popolari ta\u2019 sitt ijiem li fiha l-poplu kien ji\u010b\u010belebra l-g\u0127oti tal-li\u0121i u l-erbg\u0127in jum mg\u0127oddija fid-de\u017cert.

Il-Missier qed ikun garanti li dak li \u0127a l-\u0121isem b\u0127alna u li rxoxta bih ; wara li qam mill-mewt deher lid-dixxipli fil-\u0121isem mistiku li j\u017comm il-pjagi tas-salib. Papa Fran\u0121isku j\u0127obb jg\u0127id li meta \u0120esu jinter\u010bedi g\u0127alina quddiem il-Missier, jurih il-pjagi u jg\u0127idlu; \u201c dawn \u0121arrabthom min\u0127abba fihom.\u201d<\/p>\n Il-libsa l-bajda: tfakkarna fil-Ktieb tal-Apokalissi li fih naqraw li dawk li jinsabu fuq il-lemin huma lebsin ilbies abjad, li jfisser is-salvazzjoni.<\/p>\n \u0120esu, li dejjem deher b\u0127ala bniedem, issa nbidel u qed jidher b\u0127ala Alla: dak li kien hemm fil-li\u0121i ta\u2019 qabel intemm kollu (is-sagrifi\u010b\u010bji tal-bhejjem e\u010b\u010b) g\u0127ax issa l-offerta saret \u0120esu nnifsu. Dik hi t-tifsira tad-dikjarazzjoni: \u201cIsimg\u0127u Lilu.\u201d<\/p>\n Waqt it-Trasfigurazzjoni dehret s\u0127aba. Din tfakkarna li meta Alla l-Missier ried juri lilu nnifsu fit-Testment il-Qadim kien jidher fis-s\u0127ab e\u017c: meta David ikkonsagra t-tempju u s\u0127aba mliet il-post tant li l-qassisin ma setg\u0127ux jid\u0127lu; meta l-poplu kien miexi fid-de\u017cert u matul il-jum kienet tidher is-s\u0127aba u bil-lejl in-nar, meta Alla kellem lil Mose….<\/p>\n Alla l-Missier insibuh jitkellem f\u2019\u017cew\u0121 okka\u017cjonijiet biss: fil-Mag\u0127mudija u fit-Trasfigurazzjoni. Ir-ra\u0121uni g\u0127ala jistqarr: \u201cIsimg\u0127u lilu\u201d hi, g\u0127ax \u0120esu huwa wkoll Alla u kif qalilna, Hu \u0121ie jwasslilna dak li bg\u0127atu jg\u0127id il-Missier.<\/p>\n Imma malli ntemmet il-vi\u017cjoni d-dixxipli raw lil \u0120esu kif kienu jafuH meta jkunu fil-kumpanija tieg\u0127u. Raw lilu biss li jfisser li minn dak il-\u0127in \u2018il-quddiem g\u0127alina l-Insara \u0120esu biss hu l-muftieh biex nifhmu s-sens kollu tat-Testment l-Antik.

Allura jekk Elija kien g\u0127adu ma deherx mill-\u0121did, kif seta kien li l-Messija kien \u0120esu? It-twe\u0121iba li jag\u0127ti \u0120esu hi \u010bara, Elija \u0121a \u0121ie u huma \u0121iebu ru\u0127hom mieg\u0127u kif g\u0127o\u0121obhom, b\u0127alma hemm miktub fuqu.
