Let us accept the Lord’s invitation – The Archbishop

Mass for the memorial of St Martín de Porres

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Hieni min jiekol il-ħobż fis-Saltna ta’ Alla” (Lq 14:15). Din hija beatitudni li ma jgħidhiex Ġesù imma jgħidha wieħed mill-mistednin għal- ikla li fiha kien hemm ukoll mistieden Ġesù. Ġesù jieħu l-opportunità ta’ din il-beatitudni “hieni min jiekol il-ħobz fis-Saltna ta’ Alla” biex jirrifletti fuq il-fatt li aħna mistednin, il-bnedmin kollha mistednin, għal dan il-pranzu kbir ta’ mħabba li għamel il-Mulej, imma kultant inkunu distratti… Read more »

Pope at Angelus: ‘Go against the current, choose meekness and mercy’

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

On this solemn Feast of All Saints, the Church invites us to reflect on the great hope, the great hope that is based on Christ’s resurrection: Christ is risen and we will also be with Him, we will be with Him. The Saints and Blesseds are the most authoritative witnesses of Christian hope, because they lived it fully in their lives, amidst joys and sufferings, putting into practice the Beatitudes that Jesus preached and which resound in the Liturgy (see Mt 5:1-12a)… Read more »

Hope in the Lord keeps us united – The Archbishop

Mass on All Soul's Day

  Santa Maria Addolorata Cemetery Church, Paola

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Waħda mir-raġunijiet għaliex illum għandna nfarrġu lil xulxin hija l-kelma ċara ta’ Ġesù: “Din hi tabilħaqq ir-rieda ta’ Missieri”. Meta jitkellem fuq ir-rieda ta’ Missieru, Ġesù qiegħed jitkellem fuq xi ħaġa qawwija, fundamentali, u li ta’ min jistrieħ fuqha. U x’inhi din ir-rieda tal-Missier? “Li kull min jara lill-Iben u jemmen fih, ikollu l-ħajja ta’ dejjem u jiena” jgħid Ġesù, “inqajjmu mill-imwiet fl-aħħar jum” (Ġw 6:40)… Read more »

Gospel: Jn 6, 37-40

In those days, Jesus told the crowd: “Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away; for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. 

And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. This is indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day.” Read more »
