Pope: divorced and remarried people not excommunicated from the Church

  • Pope Francis resumed his General Audiences on Wednesday, following the summer holiday. In his catechesis, the Holy Father continued his teaching on the family, reflecting on the situation of those who have divorced and entered into a second union. “The Church knows well,” he said, “that such a situation contradicts the Christian Sacrament.” However, he continued, the Church, as a Mother, always seeks the good and salvation of all her children…

Days of rest

  • During summer many people take a break from work to spend some time of rest; this is the right thing to do and it’s also necessary. Apart from those who like to travel, many are those who spend a few days by the seaside and possibly devote more time to the family.  During vacation time, it is easy to drift away from parish life and, with the exception of the ‘festa’ celebrations, we tend to forget that there are other nearby churches in which mass is celebrated.  For those who wish to have information regarding mass schedules of churches in their vicinity, or others who wish to spend some time in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament in one of the chapels which are located around Malta, the Curia Communications Office has launched a new version of the mobile phone application ‘Malta Mass’.  This app may be downloaded free of charge from the App store or from the Play Store

Pope Francis: “Jesus is the Bread of Life”

  • Pope Francis has urged the faithful to look beyond material needs and turn to Jesus who is “the bread of life”. The Pope’s words came as he addressed the crowds gathered in St. Peter’s Square for the Sunday Angelus.  Taking his cue from the Gospel reading of the day which tells of the crowd that went looking for Jesus, not because they saw the signs but because they had eaten the loaves of bread and were filled, Pope Francis pointed out that those people gave more value to the bread than to He who gave them the bread…
