Pope at Audience: Elderly can guide and save future generations

  The Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

The bible narrative – with the symbolic language of the time in which it was written – tells us something shocking. God was so embittered by the widespread wickedness of humans, which had become a normal style of life, that he thought he had made a mistake in creating them and decided to eliminate them. A radical solution… Read more »

Lord cleanse us from all frivolities – Archbishop

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jitkellem dwar it-tmexxija, it-tmexxija anke fil-Knisja. Ħafna affarijiet li hu jilmenta dwarhom insibuhom ukoll fostna, fil-qalb tagħna. U aħna nitolbu f’dan il-jum tar-Randan biex il-Mulej isaffina minn kull frugħa, dik li l-Papa Franġisku jsejjaħlu l-ispirtu tal-mondanità, l-ispirtu tad-dinja li jitħallat mal-affarijiet qaddisa, ħallata ballata, u jitbiegħed mit-tagħlim ta’ Ġesù.

Imma ħaġa li ta’ min naħsbu ħafna fuqha, l-aħwa, hi propju l-mod kif inħarsu lejn xulxin u niġġudikaw lil xulxin għax dan l-Evanġelju jsegwi fuq dak li smajna anke lbieraħ meta qalilna: “tiġġudikawx u ma tkunux iġġudikati; tikkudannawx u ma tkunux ikkundannati” (Lq 6:37)… Read more »
