News from the Church in Malta

And now, after many months, thanks to the courage of Msgr. Sapienza, who said, “No, we’ll do it there”, we are gathered here again… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Dawn is-siltiet mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann huma parti mid-diskors li San Ġwann jagħti; diskors twil li Ġesù jgħid qabel ma tibda l-passjoni tiegħu, dak il-jum li aħna nafuh bħala Ħamis ix-Xirka. Ġesù qed jispjega lid-dixxipli tiegħu li hemm ukoll vantaġġi b’dak li ser jiġri fuqu; ovvjament is-salvazzjoni tagħna.
