Obedience is an act of love towards the country, our democracy, and the dignity of every person – The Archbishop

Mass on Armed Forces of Malta Day

02/10/2020   St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-Kittieba li kienu l-esperti tal-liġi — qishom l-avukati — fi żmien Ġesù kellhom problema kbira. Kien hemm ħafna liġijiet u d-domanda l-iżjed importanti kienet: imma liema hi l-aqwa liġi?

B’xi mod, fis-sistema tagħna llum m’għandux ikollna problema. L-aqwa liġi fil-pajjiż hija l-Kostituzzjoni. Imma d-domanda li dan il-kittieb jagħmel lil Ġesù hija domanda kostituzzjonali. Liema hi l-aqwa liġi? Fuq liema liġi jinbnew il-liġijiet kollha? … Read more »

The greatness of small actions in the eyes of God – Bishop Galea-Curmi

Mass on the feast of St Therese of Lisieux

01/10/2020   The Shrine of St Therese, Birkirkara

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Il-Papa Franġisku għandu mħabba kbira lejn Santa Tereża tal-Bambin Ġesù. Jgħidu li meta kien għadu ma sarx Papa – kien għadu l-Kardinal Bergoglio – kellu d-drawwa li meta jikteb xi ittra, anke ċkejkna, jibgħat magħha santa ta’ Santa Tereża. B’dan il-mod ried jenfasizza r-rabta speċjali ma’ din il-qaddisa. Kien ħadem ukoll biex ixerred l-imħabba lejha speċjalment qalb il-foqra li kienu jgħixu kultant f’miżerja… Read more »

“The judge’s judgement and the magistrate’s decision must not only derive from science but also from one’s conscience” – The Archbishop

Mass on the opening of the 2020-2021 Forensic Year

01/10/2020   St John's CoCathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Il-Mulej jibgħat tnejn u sebgħin dixxipli oħra” (Lq 10:1). Huwa numru kbir imma jgħidilhom li “il-ħsad huwa kbir tassew” (Lq 10:2). Nimmaġina li l-Ministru jkollu l-istess dilemma meta jħares lejn il-bżonnijiet tal-ġustizzja u jgħid li verament l-għalqa hija kbira. Hemm bżonn li wieħed jaħdem fuq li jaħdem biex is-servizz li jingħata jkun effiċjenti u ta’ kwalità.

Ġesù juża’ frażi li nixtieq nirrifletti ftit fuqha u nsellem lilkom fil-bidu ta’ sena ġdida ta’ servizz għall-ġustizzja fil-Qrati tal-Ġustizzja… Read more »

Pope at Audience: ‘Make love go viral in the light of faith’

30/09/2020

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

In recent weeks we have reflected together, in the light of the Gospel, on how to heal the world that is suffering from a malaise that the pandemic has highlighted and accentuated. The malaise was already there: the pandemic highlighted it more, it accentuated it. We have walked the paths of dignity, solidarity and subsidiarity, paths that are essential to promote human dignity and the common good… Read more »
