The Coat of Arms of Archbishop Charles J. Scicluna

14/03/2015

  • L-Arma araldika tal-Arċisqof Scicluna hija ispirata mill-arma tradizzjonalment assenjata lill-kunjom tal-familja li għandha żiemel rampanti u nofs qamar krexxenti ta’ lewn abjad/fidda fuq sfond aħmar. Mons. Scicluna żied il-warda safra/deheb imwerrqa bil-lewn aħdar.

  • Knisja Parrokkjali tal-Isla

    13 ta’ Marzu 2015

     

    Fil-Vanġelu li għadna kemm smajna, il-Mulej Ġesù jikkonferma r-risposta tal-Għaref tal-Liġi li jiġbor il-liġi kollha f’kelma waħda: l-imħabba!  L-imħabba lejn Alla u l-imħabba lejn il-proxxmu. Jekk jiena ma nħobbx lil ħija li narah, kif nista’ nħobb lil Alla li ma narahx?

    U jekk irridu nifhmu x’inhi l-imħabba vera, inħarsu lejn ix-xbieha għażiża tar-Redentur…

Pope: there is no middle way to love God

11/03/2015

Pope Francis: God’s style is humility and simplicity

10/03/2015

  • God acts in humility and in silence; “spectacle” is not His style. That was Pope Francis’ message at Mass on Monday in the Casa Santa Marta.

    Jesus rebukes people of Nazareth for their lack of faith

    In the Gospel of the day, Jesus rebukes the inhabitants of Nazareth for their lack of faith: at first, the Pope said, they listened with admiration, but later they exploded “with anger, with outrage”:

    “In that moment, this people, who had heard with pleasure what Jesus had said, but did not like what He had said to one, two, or three of them; and perhaps some gossip had stood up and said, ‘But who is this who’s come to talk to us? …
