Film ispirat minn ġrajja li seħħet vera fl-10 ta’ Mejju 1996. Żewg timijiet ta’ xabbaturi kienu mħejjiha tajjeb biex jitilgħu fuq il-quċċata tal-Muntanja Everest minnaħa ta’ nofsinhar magħrufa aħjar bħala l-Muntanja tal-Ġenn…
Pope Francis has arrived. His flight landed at Joint Base Andrews (formerly known as Andrews Air Force Base), shortly after 3:30 PM local time in the US state of Maryland.
The welcome ceremony – otherwise little more than a simple observance of only the most absolutely necessary protocol – was punctuated by two particularly poignant elements: the first was the presence of the President of the United States, Barack Obama – and his family – to greet his nation’s guest; the second was the Spanish language alongside English, in which the gathered crowd – some hundreds of young people from Washington, DC area schools among them – cheered their welcome…
Bejn il-11 u s-16 ta’ Settembru 2015, l-E.T. Mons. Mario Grech, Isqof ta’ Għawdex, irrappreżenta lill-Konferenza Episkopali Maltija fl-Assemblea Plenarja tal-Kunsill għall-Konferenzi Episkopali Ewropej (CCEE), li fuq stedina tal-Beatitudni Tiegħu Fouad Twal, Patrijarka Latin ta’ Ġerusalemm, din is-sena nżammet fl-Art Imqaddsa. B’waqfiet fil-Galilija, f’Betlehem u f’Ġerusalemm, din l-Assemblea kienet l-ewwel waħda fl-istorja riċenti tal-Kristjaneżmu li laqqgħet flimkien fl-istess ħin u post għadd hekk kbir ta’ rappreżentanzi għolja tal-Episkopat Ewropew: 45 pajjiż kienu rrappreżentati f’din il-laqgħa. It-tema ewlenija diskussa kienet: “Il-ferħ u t-tbatijiet tal-Knejjes partikulari”.
Tul iż-żjara tagħhom l-Isqfijiet Ewropej kellhom ċans iżuru komunitajiet Insara fl-Art Imqaddsa, jaraw il-ħidma tal-Knisja f’dan il-pajjiż u jiltaqgħu wkoll mal-awtoritajiet politiċi Israeljani u dawk Palestinjani. F’Velja li nżammet apposta, huma talbu għas-suċċess tas-Sinodu tal-Familja li sa jinżamm f’Ruma f’Ottubru, waqt li f’Messaġġ Finali qalu li huma żaru l-Art Imqaddsa biex “iħeġġu iktar pellegrinaġġi fl-art ta’ Ġesù ħa jġeddu l-fidi u jwieżnu l-Insara ta’ dawn il-postijiet”…
Saint Luke 9:1-6
Jesus summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there. And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in testimony against them.” Then they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the good news and curing diseases everywhere.

Perhaps the event which created most media interest during Pope Francis’s first full day in Cuba was his meeting with revolutionary leader Fidel Castro. During a private encounter at the 89-year-old retired President’s home, the Pope and Castro discussed religion and world affairs. The meeting took place just hours after the Pope at Mass urged Cubans to serve one another and not ideology…
Saint Luke 8:19-21
The mother of Jesus and his brothers came to him but were unable to join him because of the crowd. He was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside and they wish to see you.” He said to them in reply, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it.”

Pope Francis on Sunday urged young Cubans to follow a path of hope, built on solidarity and encounter with others. The Pope’s words came in a meeting with several thousand young students gathered at the Fr Felix Varela cultural centre in Havana at the end of his first full day in the Cuban capital. The centre, set up in 2011 by the local Archdiocese with the support of the Pontifical Council for Culture, offers courses in theology, philosophy, sociology, psychology and business administration…
Saint Matthew 9:9-13
As Jesus passed by, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him. While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples. The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” He heard this and said, “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”
