Indifference that kills

13/09/2022

The Justice and Peace Commission urges Malta’s authorities and politicians to prioritise the saving of lives and refrain from using language that fans the flames of indifference following the unnecessary death of a four-year-old girl who tragically lost her life in Malta’s Search and Rescue Area.

The young girl, Loujin, died because action by the competent authorities to save the lives of 60 people stranded at sea — who had left Lebanon 10 days earlier — came too late… Read more »

A word that heals – Bishop Galea-Curmi

12/09/2022   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Iżda int ordna b’kelma, u l-qaddej tiegħi jfiq” (Lq 6:8). Dan kien il-messaġġ li ċ-ċenturjun bagħat ma’ xi ħbieb tiegħu lil Ġesù. Ftit qabel, kien bagħat ukoll lil xi nies biex lil Ġesù jgħidulu li għandu l-qaddej, li qiegħed ħażin ħafna, u jitolbuh biex imur id-dar biex ifejqu. U Ġesù beda miexi lejn id-dar taċ-ċenturjun. Imma meta kien mhux wisq ’il bogħod, iċ-ċenturjun bagħat xi nies oħra biex jgħidulu: “toqgħodx tinqala’, għax ma jistħoqqlix li tidħol taħt is-saqaf tiegħi… iżda int ordna b’kelma, u l-qaddej tiegħi jfiq” (Lq 6:6.8)… Read more »

Pope at Angelus asks to worry about others

11/09/2022   St Peter's Square at the Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!

The Gospel of today’s Liturgy presents us the three parables of mercy (cf. Lk 15, 4-32); this is what they are called because they show God’s merciful heart. Jesus tells them to respond to the grumblings of the pharisees and the scribes, who say: “This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them” (v.2)… Read more »

Mass on the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time

11/09/2022   The Shrine of Our Lady 'tal-Ħerba', Birkirkara

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Hi grazzja kbira li nisimgħu dawn it-tliet parabboli li Ġesù jagħżel biex jispjega lill-Fariżej xi tfisser il-ħniena ta’ Alla għal kull wieħed u waħda minna. “Il-pubblikani u l-midinbin kienu jersqu lejn Ġesù bi ħġarhom biex jisimgħuh. U kemm il-Fariżej u kemm il-kittieba kienu jgemgmu u jgħidu: ‘Nies midinba jilqa’ għandu dan u jiekol magħhom’” (Lq 15:1-2).

F’dan il-kuntest Ġesù jipprova jispjega lil dawn il-kittieba u l-Fariżej għaliex hu għażel li jilqa’ għandu lill-midinba, għaliex għażel li jiekol magħhom… Read more »
