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’

02/11/2020

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 »

Mass on All Soul's Day

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”.

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 »
