Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
The pandemic continues to cause deep wounds, exposing our vulnerability. On every continent there are many who have died, many are ill. Many people and many families are living a time of uncertainty because of socio-economic problems which especially affect the poorest.
Thus, we must keep our gaze firmly fixed on Jesus (see Heb 12:2): in the midst of this pandemic, our eyes on Jesus; and with this faith embrace the hope of the Kingdom of God that Jesus Himself brings us (see Mk 1:5; Mt 4:17; CCC 2816)… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Mhux dak li jidħol mill-fomm itebba’ lill-bniedem, imma dak li joħroġ mill-fomm, dan hu li jtebba’ lill-bniedem!” Dan hu l-kliem li smajna lil Ġesù jgħid fl-Evanġelju llum, u nafu mill-esperjenza tal-ħajja kemm hu veru. Meta tisma’ kultant kliem ta’ insulti, mibegħda, tkasbir ta’ Alla jew tal-bniedem xbieha ta’ Alla, tinduna li jkun kliem li jtebba’ lil min jgħidu.
Illum qed niċċelebraw it-tifkira ta’ qaddis li hu eżatt il-kontra, li l-kliem tiegħu kien kliem li jagħmel il-ġid, kliem li jressaq il-bniedem lejn Alla, kliem li jagħmillu ġieh… Read more »
It-Tlieta 4 ta’ Awwissu 2020, l-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna ċċelebra quddiesa fil-Palazz tal-Arċisqof, fil-Belt Valletta, b’suffraġju għal ruħ l-Isqof Baldassare Cagliares, l-ewwel isqof Malti. Din hija l-ewwel darba li l-Arċisqof Scicluna ċċelebra quddiesa mill-Palazz.
Minn riċerka li saret irriżulta li l-Isqof Baldassare Cagliares, li bena dan il-palazz, kien ħalla fil-wirt li kull meta ssir quddies fl-Oratorju ta’ San Ġużepp (li jinsab fil-palazz stess) niftakru fih fit-talb tagħna… Read more »
