Pope Francis on Monday warned against righteous hypocrisy and urged Christians to be merciful. During his homily at morning Mass in the Casa Santa Marta, the Pope reflected on the Gospel readings of the day and on another Gospel passage pointing out that “where there is no mercy there is no justice”. Referring to three women in the Bible, Pope Francis said they represent three allegorical figures of the Church. The women he said are: Susanna – an innocent woman; an adulteress – a sinner; and a poor and needy widow. They symbolize – the Pope said – the holy Church, the sinning Church and the needy Church. They are all judged and ‘condemned’ by judges who are evil and corrupt…

Knisja ta’ Santa Katarina, iż-Żejtun 18 ta’ Frar 2015 Fis-silta li smajna, mill-Evanġelu ta’ San Mark (Mt 6,1-6.16-18), il-Mulej Ġesù jitkellem dwar tlett atteġjamenti: is-sawm, il-karità u t-talb. Jekk nirriflettu ftit fuq dawn it-tlett atteġġjamenti, li b’xi mod huma l-qafas tal-mixja tagħna lejn l-Għid, liema mixja nsejħulha r-Randan, nirrealizzaw li meta nitkellmu fuq is-sawm qed nitkellmu fuq mixja li rrid nagħmel fuqi nnifsi billi nitgħallem niċċaħħad u nitgħallem ir-rażan…

- Fasting: Waiting – Anticipation – Feeling at Home – Forgiveness
Għeżież ħuti Nsara,

Fil-bidu ta’ dan ir-Randan Imqaddes tas-sena 2015, u bi preparazzjoni għall-mixja li ser nagħmlu f’dan iż-żmien, xtaqt inwassal messaġġ qasir lil kull wieħed u waħda minnkom.

Darba minnhom, il-Fariżej u l-kittieba staqsew lil Ġesù għaliex id-dixxipli tiegħu ma kinux qed isumu…

Pope Francis says the lives of Christians must be coherent and express faith in action. Speaking to the crowds gathered in a rainy St. Peter’s Square for the Sunday Angelus, the Pope invited all believers to always bear in mind the message of the Gospel, the image of the Crucified Lord, and the need to be witnesses of faith. Calling on Christians to express their faith in action, the Pope also turned to those who have yet to experience an encounter with Christ offering the gift of a pocket-sized Gospel in which “we can meet Jesus, listen to Him, and get to know Him”…

Pope Francis spoke of the ‘terrorism of gossip’ as the biggest sign of the devils work in a meeting with priests, religious and seminarians at Naples Cathedral Saturday. The Gothic ‘Duomo’ – home to the much revered relic of St. Januarius patron Saint of Naples – was the setting for Pope Francis’ first appointment of the afternoon. He was welcomed by Cardinal Crescenzio Seppe, the Archbishop of Naples and then surrounded by an enthusiastic group of cloistered nuns who had been given special permission to attend the encounter…

‘Tħobbni int?’
Il-kelmiet ta’ Ġesù lil Pietru jgħoddu għal kull wieħed u waħda minna. Ilum, b’mod speċjali, Ġesù jgħidhom lili, magħżul biex inkun ir-Ragħaj tagħkom. Id-domanda ta’ Ġesù tfakkarni fid-dgħufija tiegħi u fil-Ħniena tiegħu. Tfakkarni li l-qofol ta’ kull ministeru pastorali huwa l-imħabba: l-imħabba lejn Ġesù, ir-Ragħaj it-Tajjeb, li ħabbna qabel ħabbejnieh aħna, kif ukoll l-imħabba lejn kull membru tal-merħla tiegħu…
