Caritas Malta helping the most vulnerable during COVID-19

Caritas Malta mħassba dwar realtà ta’ persuni li bħalissa qed isofru konsegwenzi soċjali u ekonomiċi minħabba l-Covid-19 u li għandhom bżonn għajnuna urġenti.

Permezz ta’ persuni li qed iċemplu fuq linji ta’ Caritas li nfetħu apposta, kif ukoll tal-ħidma mill-qrib ma’ NGOs u l-kapillani fil-parroċċi, Caritas Malta qed tiltaqa’ dejjem iktar ma’ realtajiet ta’ gruppi ta’ nies vulnerabbli li huma l-aktar f’riskju matul din il-kriżi:

  • Dawk li diġà kellhom dħul baxx qabel il-pandemija;
  • Anzjani li jgħixu weħidhom, li kellhom xi għajnuna minn ġirien jew servizzi fid-dar li issa ma jistgħux jingħataw;
  • Ġenituri bi tfal b’diżabbiltà, speċjalment dawk severi li wkoll naqsilhom ir-respite peress li waqqfu l-iskejjel;
  • Dawk il-Maltin jew barranin li diġà sfaw bla saqaf u anki ma jistgħux jaċċessaw xelters minħabba restrizzjonijiet;
  • Barranin li tilfu x-xogħol jew naqsulhom is-sigħat ta’ xogħol u mhux intitolati għall-benefiċċji ta’ nuqqas ta’ impjieg jew sussidju fuq il-kera…

“Il-ġebla li warrbu l-bennejja saret il-ġebla tax-xewka”. Hekk għedna fis-Salm illum, u hekk smajna lil Pietru fl-ewwel qari mill-Atti tal-Appostli, jgħid lill-kapijiet, lix-xjuħ u lill-kittieba meta staqsewh b’liema qawwa u f’isem min qed jagħmel dak li qed jagħmel, hu u l-appostli. Hu qalilhom: Fl-isem ta’ Ġesù ta’ Nazaret, li intom qtiltuh imma Alla qajmu mill-imwiet. Qalilhom: “Din hi l-ġebla li intom il-bennejja warrabtu u li saret il-ġebla tax-xewka”… Read more »

Message by Archbishop Charles Scicluna on the 30th month since the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia

Il-tagħlim soċjali tal-Knisja jfakkarna illi l-paċi hija msejsa fuq il-verità, ġustizzja, libertà u mħabba. Dawn l-erba’ valuri huma l-pedament u jiddependu minn xulxin, kull wieħed minnhom huwa essenzjali; komunità ma tistax tkun verament fil-paċi jekk imqar waħda minnhom tkun nieqsa jew imwarrba.

Wara 30 xahar mill-assassinju tal-ġurnalista Daphne Caruana Galizia għadna nistennew il-verità kollha dwar il-komplott wara l-assassinju tagħha u għadna nistennew li ssir ġustizzja magħha, mal-familja tagħha u magħna lkoll għax l-assassinju tagħha kien ukoll attakk premeditat fuq is-soċjetà tagħna… Read more »

Fl-ewwel jum tal-ġimgħa dakinhar tal-irxoxt, wara li d-dixxipli ta’ Għemmaws kienu rritornaw lejn sħabhom u tgħarrfu lill-oħrajn x’kien ġralhom u kif għarfu lil Ġesù fil-qsim tal-ħobż, Ġesù nnifsu jieqaf f’nofs id-dixxipli tiegħu u jagħtihom l-ikbar tislima: “Is-sliem għalikom” (Lq 24:36) jew inkella, kif nafuha u kif nużaw ukoll fil-Liturġija: il-Paċi Magħkom. Din hija t-tislima ta’ Kristu rxoxt, it-tislima li biha l-isqof fl-Ewkaristija jsellem lil poplu ta’ Alla għax hija t-tislima ta’ Ġesù stess… Read more »
