Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!
Today in Italy and in many countries the Ascension of the Lord, that is, his return to the Father, is celebrated. In the Liturgy, the Gospel according to Luke narrates the final apparition of the Risen Christ to the disciples (cf. 24:46-53). The earthly life of Jesus culminates precisely with the Ascension, which we also profess in the Creed: “He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father”… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Aħna l-bnedmin nassoċjaw it-tluq ta’ xi ħadd għażiż ma’ mument ta’ niket. Niftakarni ċkejken immorru l-ajruport kull darba li kienu jiġu l-qraba tagħna msefrin biex narawhom sejrin. Fi tfuliti kont tista’ titla’ fil-gallerija biex tarahom anke telgħin l-ajruplan u kien ikun mument ta’ qsim il-qalb. Daqskemm kien ikun kbir il-ferħ li tilqa’ lil xi ħadd li ilek ma tarah, daqshekk kien ikun ta’ swied il-qalb u ta’ tbatija l-mument li terġa’ tinfired minn xi ħadd għażiż… Read more »

“Il-ferħ tagħkom ħadd ma jeħodhulkom” (Ġw 16:22). Dan hu li jgħid Ġesù lid-dixxipli tiegħu, fl-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann. Hawnhekk qiegħed fl-Aħħar Ċena. Jolqotna dan il-kliem, kif jitkellem fuq il-ferħ meta hu l-waqt ta’ dwejjaq, ta’ niket, u mument iebes ħafna għal Ġesù. Fil-fatt, ftit wara Ġesù kien se jkun arrestat, imbagħad jgħaddi mill-passjoni u mill-mewt tiegħu.
Hawnhekk jgħid lid-dixxipli tiegħu: “intom għad tibku u tingħu… għad iġarrbu n-niket”… Read more »
Government’s proposal to introduce embryo selection in the IVF procedure is nothing short of eugenics, as such methods do not deliver a “healthy baby” but provide a tool to enable the selection of which baby will live and which baby will be frozen in perpetuity.
Every embryo created through an IVF cycle is a distinct human being. Under the proposed procedure every embryo will be tested for possible monogenic disorders… Read more »
