Invited children from Fondazzjoni Sebħ and St Patrick’s homes

06/04/2022

Around 40 children from various residences of Fondazzjoni Sebħ and St Patrick’s Home were hosted on a 75-minute educational flight. The Air Malta flight, KM1952, flown at an altitude of 20,000 feet to Sicily and back, included a flyby of Mount Etna where the children could see the snow-clad top of Europe’s largest volcano.

Move close to Jesus’ power which forgives our sins – The Archbishop

07/04/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-kapitlu 8 ta’ San Ġwann hu forsi wieħed mill-iżjed diffiċli għax hemm djalogu iebes ħafna, polemika bejn Ġesù u l-Fariżej, Ġesù u l-Lhud. U l-kwistjoni hi: min hu Ġesù u l-għarfien tiegħu nnifsu. “Int x’taħseb li int?” (Ġw 8:53).

Min jaf kemm dil-ħaġa ngħiduha lil min iwassalna għand Ġesù u jwasslilna l-Kelma tiegħu. Imma Ġesù jibqa’ jinsisti li hu jobdi lill-Missier, iħares il-kelma tiegħu u li Abraham, missierna fil-fidi, hu dak li ra l-jum ta’ Ġesù: “Rah,” qal, “u feraħ” (Ġw 8:56)… Read more »

Who is Jesus for me? A papier maché statue? – The Archbishop

05/04/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-kapitlu 8 ta’ San Ġwann hu kapitlu, fejn ir-raba’ Evanġelju jippreżentalna konflitti kbar bejn Ġesù u l-establishement reliġjuż ta’ dak iż-żmien: il-Fariżej, il-Kittieba. U fil-fatt fil-bidu ta’ dan l-Evanġelju jitkellem mal-Fariżej, dawk li kienu l-għorrief tal-liġi, dawk li kellhom il-qawwa jinterpetaw il-liġi u jgħidu lill-poplu kif għandu jsegwi l-liġi.

Jinsisti magħhom fuq xi ħaġa li ma jiħdux gost biha… Read more »
