“How are we making use of the power we have acquired?” – The Archbishop’s question on Sette Giugno

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

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ħafna drabi nistaqsu għaliex Ġesù juża x-xbihat tal-melħ u tad-dawl biex jgħidilna min aħna. Donnu jrid jispjegalna li fil-ħajja tagħna rridu nħarsu lejn dawn ix-xbihat. Il-melħ huwa dak li jagħti t-togħma allura nitolbu li bix-xhieda tagħna, b’ħajjitna, bi kliemna u b’imġibitna nħallu togħma tajba.

Kultant nfakkru ’l xi ħadd li ħalliena u fi kliemna nirrealizaw kemm din il-persuna ħalliet togħma tajba… Read more »

Il‑kappillani tal‑Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta rriflettew fuq it‑tema ‘Knisja li tilqa’, Knisja inklussiva’, waqt il‑live‑in annwali.

Queen Elizabeth: a great example of leadership – The Archbishop

Mass on the occasion of the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth

  St Paul's Procathedral, Valletta

Message by Archbishop Charles Jude Scicluna

I remember a few years ago, as you would certainly remember, Canon Simon, that on what must have been his last official visit to this pro-cathedral, Prince Philip was introduced to the congregation and we were introduced to him. As we bid farewell, he stopped near me and said, “Shall I tell you a secret? We are all Christians, you know,” and I replied, “Thank God for that.”

I think that is one of his comments that we can actually repeat without causing more trouble… Read more »
