Ir-Raba’ Ħadd tar-Randan Sena B
Kolletta
Kolletta
O Alla, int b’mod tal-għaġeb terġa’ tħabbeb miegħek lill-bniedem permezz tal-Verb tiegħek: agħmel li l-poplu nisrani jitħejja b’qima kbira u fidi mħeġġa biex jiċċelebra l-festa solenni tal-Għid. B’Ibnek Ġesù Kristu Sidna, li hu Alla, u li miegħek jgħix u jsaltan flimkien mal-Ispirtu s-Santu, għal dejjem ta’ dejjem. Ammen.
Riflessjoni
Fil-Ħdud preċedenti, mis-siltiet tal-Evanġelji li nqraw rajna l-glorja tal-Mulej fuq it-Tabor u l-Ħadd li għadda rajna l-messaġġ profetiku dwar il-qawmien tal-Mulej fit-tielet jum, messaġġ li ġabna wiċċ imb wiċċ mad-Divinità ta’ Ġesù u l-ħtieġa tal-purifikazzjoni tal-mod ta’ kif ngħixu u nipprattikaw r-reliġjon tagħna.
Fl-Evanġelju ta’ dan il-Ħadd għandna messaġġ profetiku ieħor: Bin il-bniedem se jkun imgħolli fuq kulħadd u fuq kollox, sabiex kull min jemmen fih u jħares lejh isalva. Ġesù miet għal kulħadd, bla ebda distinzjoni. Għal min jemmen, huwa l-uniku salvatur. Huwa offra lilu nnifsu minn rajh għas-salvazzjoni tal-umanità, tal-kreazzjoni. Kollox għamel bl-imħabba u għall-imħabba sabiex jagħti tama lill-bniedem. Ma ġiex biex jiġġudika l-bniedem, imma biex isalvah; ġie sabiex jurina d-dawl veru li huwa Hu. Sabiex naraw dan id-dawl veru rridu nibdew nagħrfu u nneħħu l-għamad li għandna quddiem għajnejna.
Madanakollu ħalliena liberi. Hu li miet sabiex kull bniedem jinħeles minn taħt is-setgħa tax-xitan, ħalla lill-bniedem liberu sabiex jagħżel hu jekk iridx jemmen fih jew le. Imma ġaladarba jemmen fih, jagħraf li fih biss hemm id-dawl veru, fih biss hemm is-salvazzjoni.
L-isfida tal-bniedem hi li jgħarbel sew lilu nnifsu jekk hux jemmen bis-sħiħ, u jaċċetta bl-akbar libertà u konvinzjoni li Ġesù hu veru l-uniku salvatur tiegħu.
Taħseb li Ġesù Kristu huwa l-uniku salvatur ta’ ħajtek? Jew għandek allat oħra f’ħajtek li temmen aktar fihom milli f’Ġesù Kristu?
Talba
Mulej Ġesù, ilkoll kemm aħna għandna xi għamad quddiem għajnejna li jimpedina milli naraw id-dawl veru tiegħek. F’dan iż-żmien tar-Randan, żmien ta’ riflessjoni, urina x’forma jieħu l-għamad tagħna. Saffi lil qalbna u seddaqna fl-umiltà sabiex, anke bil-għajnuna ta’ persuni kompetenti, dan l-għamad jitlef il-qawwa tiegħu ħalli inti terġa’ tieħu postok f’ħajti, sabiex inti tkun l-ewwel fuq kollox u fuq kulħadd.
