L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles J. Scicluna

Għeżież intom u tirċievu l-ministeru tal-Akkolitat, il-Knisja qiegħda tistedinkom biex titgħallmu tħejju l-mejda għażiża tal-Ewkaristija.

Ġesù meta indirizzana, u dan il-kliem għażiż qalu fl-aħħar ikla tiegħu mad-dixxipli, qalilna: “Ma nsejħilkomx qaddejja, insejħilkom ħbieb, għax kulma smajt mingħand Missieri, għarraftulkom” (Ġw 15:15)… Read more »

Counteracting Violence – The Archbishop

Message by Archbishop Charles J. Scicluna

Last Sunday’s disturbance at the Open Centre in Hal Far, and the events that followed, should serve as an opportune moment to pause for reflection.

I have the utmost respect for the work undertaken by personnel at Malta’s open centres, who I know do their best in extremely challenging circumstances. I also understand the frustration felt by African migrant residents who were forced to flee their homeland in search of a better life and are living in extremely difficult conditions… Read more »
