F’din il-mixja tar-Randan huwa ta’ pjaċir kbir għalija li nkun magħkom, għeżież residenti tal-Faċilità Korrettiva ta’ Kordin, mal-uffiċjali, u mal-istaff. Insellem ukoll lill-Ministru tal-Intern Byron Camilleri.

Għadna kemm bdejna ċ-ċelebrazzjoni tal-Griżma ta’ Simon, wieħed mir-residenti li bl-għajnuna tal-kappillan ta’ din il-faċilità korrettiva beda l-mixja biex illum jikkonferma l-fidi tiegħu f’Ġesù u jirċievi d-don tal-Ispirtu s-Santu. Id-don tal-Ispirtu s-Santu huwa d-don tal-imħabba… Read more »

Open your hearts to the poor – The Archbishop to university students

Mass on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of KSU

25/02/2021   The Jesuit Church, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù juża żewġ elementi min-natura u jgħid min aħna. L-identità tagħna tinġabar f’dawn iż-żewġ elementi li jsemmi Ġesù: il-melħ. Mhux se nidħol f’polemika mat-tobba li jgħidulna tiħux ħafna melħ. Wara kollox, fl-università jekk titgħallem xi ħaġa hija li tirrispetta x-xjenza. Jekk trid ikun bniedem tassew ta’ fidi, qatt m’għandek tiddisprezza l-għerf li hemm fil-ħolqien. Min huwa tassew xjenzjat jogħxa bl-istraordinarjetà ta’ dak li hemm fil-ħolqien… Read more »

26/02/2021

“Every human person is called into being by God and needs protection, particularly when he or she is most vulnerable,” the Bishops said, adding that “special safeguard and care for the child, before and after birth is also expressed in international legal standards” including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child… Read more »
