L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Is-silta tal-lum mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Luqa tfakkarna f’dak li hemm miktub fl-istess Evanġelju fil-kapitlu 2 meta Marija u Ġużeppi jieħdu lil Ġesù fit-tempju u Xmun lit-tarbija jsejjħilha: “Id-dawl tal-ġnus, glorja ta’ Israel” (Lq 2:32), is-salvazzjoni lil min qed jistenna, imma lil ommu jgħidilha: “Dan għad ikun sinjal li jmeruh biex jinkixfu l-ħsibijiet moħbija ta’ ħafna” (Lq 2: 35).

Therefore, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and persecute’ in order that this generation might be charged with the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who died between the altar and the temple building… Read more »
With reference to the aggressive stance taken today by the Malta Union of Teachers (MUT) against Church Schools, Church authorities:
1. will continue to ensure that the health and safety of educators, students and staff in all Church schools remains paramount, in adherence to the guidelines issued by Public Health Authorities.
