Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Waħda mill-affarijiet li timpressjonani mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Mattew li qrajna llum, hi li jinsisti ħafna fuq li Ġesù kien ittradut għal 30 biċċa tal-fidda, prezz li Ġuda aċċetta bit-transazzjoni li għamel mal-kapijiet biex ikun jista’ jagħtihom lil Ġesù.
Imma anke llum nerġgħu nisimgħu b’dawn l-imberkin flus; il-flus li aċċettaw is-suldati biex jagħtu verżjoni uffiċjali ta’ x’ġara fl-ewwel jum tal-ġimgħa, il-Ħadd… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Bħal-lum 95 sena ilu twieled il-Papa Emeritu Benedittu XVI. Dakinhar kien ukoll Sibt il-Għid. Imwieled f’Sibt il-Għid, il-Papa Benedittu XVI hu wieħed minn dawk li jfisser b’mod hekk sabiħ il-ġrajja tal-Qawmien ta’ Kristu, l-ikbar ġrajja għalina. Nixtieq li nieħu żewġ espressjonijiet li hu jgħid, li fihom tifsira kbira ħafna u li lilna jistgħu jkunu wkoll ta’ għajnuna għall-ħajja tagħna. Isejjaħ il-ġrajja tal-qawmien ta’ Ġesù Kristu “splużjoni ta’ dawl” u “splużjoni ta’ mħabba”… Read more »
Article by Archbishop Charles Scicluna
As Pope Francis bade farewell to a relatively long queue of staffers and guests at the Apostolic Nunciature in Rabat towards the end of his two-day trip to Malta, he turned to me and said with a characteristic twinkle in his eye: “Questo congedo è stato più lungo di quello de La Traviata” (this farewell is longer than the one in La Traviata)… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, Happy Easter!
Jesus, the Crucified One, is risen! He stands in the midst of those who mourned him, locked behind closed doors and full of fear and anguish. He comes to them and says: “Peace be with you!” (Jn 20:19). He shows the wounds in his hands and feet, and the wound in his side. He is no ghost; it is truly Jesus, the same Jesus who died on the cross and was laid in the tomb… Read more »

Article by Bishop Joseph Galea-Curmi
We have welcomed Pope Francis with a warm heart. His loving presence in Malta was surely the first important message to us all. He radiated compassion, kindness and joy wherever he went, even though at times he had to struggle to walk because of leg pain.
He also had some important words to share with us… Read more »
The homily by Charles Jude Scicluna
Today is the solemn feast of Easter. It is a dilemma, and an enigma to the mind, it defies logic; it is only through our hearts that we can understand the mystery of the empty tomb. It is not self-evident, it is not something that forces itself on us, or takes away our freedom; but it engages us on a very deep and profound level… Read more »
