The Board of the Authority for the Responsible Use of Cannabis

Caritas Malta tirrikonoxxi l-għażla tal-persuni li nħatru fuq il-Bord tal-Awtorità dwar l-użu responsabbli tal-Kannabis li se jkun immexxi mis-Sinjura Mariella Dimech, bħala għażla ta’ persuni ta’ reputazzjoni u ta’ esperjenza fil-qasam tagħhom.

Filwaqt li numru ta’ persuni fil-bord kienu jaħdmu ma’ Caritas Malta fil-passat u taw kontribut siewi lis-servizzi ta’ Caritas, Caritas Malta tixtieq tiċċara li fil-bord ta’ din l-awtorità m’hemmx persuni li formalment qed jirrappreżentaw lil Caritas… Read more »

Always talk to the Lord; in moments of joy and sorrow – The Archbishop

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Min ilbieraħ seta’ jsegwi din il-quddiesa, semagħni nitkellem fuq il-qawwa ta’ Ġesù li tgħaddi wkoll lill-Knisja permezz tal-isqof tal-post fuq ix-Xitan. Din is-silta mill-ewwel kapitlu ta’ San Mark, teħodna proprju fl-ewwel mumenti tal-ħajja pubblika ta’ Ġesù: minn Nazaret immur Kafarnahum fejn jgħaddi ġurnata u nofs li jirrakontaha San Mark. Kemm-il darba rrealizzajt, u naħseb anke intom innutajtu, li meta San Mark jitkellem fuq il-missjoni ta’ Ġesù, jitkellem fuq il-fatt li hu kien jeżerċità din il-qawwa fuq ix-Xitan… Read more »

The Lord’s strength heals us and delivers us from evil – The Archbishop

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Qegħdin fl-ewwel kapitlu tal-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark u x-xena teħodna mal-ewwel f’Kafarnahum. Kafarnahum kienet belt fuq l-għadira jew il-baħar tant kbir tal-Galilija jew ta’ Tiberijadi. Ġesù adotta din il-belt biex tkun qisha l-hub tat-tliet snin li għamel iterraq jgħallem u jipprietka, ifejjaq u jkeċċi x-xjaten fil-Galilija u fil-Lhudija.

Illum ir-rakkont tal-Evanġelju jeħodna propju fis-sinagoga ta’ Kafarnahum; il-fdalijiet tagħha għadhom magħna sal-lum… Read more »

Generous people – Bishop Galea-Curmi

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Qegħdin hawnhekk fil-bidu tal-ministeru ta’ Ġesù. L-Evanġelju skont San Mark jgħidilna li issa Ġwanni hu arrestat, u Ġesù jibda jxandar l-Aħbar it-Tajba. U jibda bil-kliem: “Iż-żmien huwa mitmum. Is-Saltna ta’ Alla waslet, indmu u emmnu fl-Evanġelju”, kliem li juri wkoll ir-rabta ma’ Ġwanni l-Battista.

Nixtieq li naħsbu ftit fuq il-mod kif Ġesù jqiegħed din l-Aħbar it-Tajba. Jgħid: “is-Saltna ta’ Alla waslet”, imbagħad jistieden lin-nies biex jindmu u jemmnu fl-Evanġelju… Read more »

Gospel: Mk 1, 21b-28

In those days, when the sabbath came, he entered the synagogue at Capernaum and taught. They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? … Read more »

Pope at Angelus: prayer is the key that opens our heart to the Lord

  The Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!

The Gospel of today’s Liturgy shows us the scene with which Jesus’ public life begins: he, who is the Son of God and the Messiah, goes to the banks of the Jordan River to be baptized by John the Baptist. After about thirty years of hidden life, Jesus does not present himself with a miracle, or by rising to the podium to teach… Read more »
