Mass on Vocations Day

21/04/2024   The Vocations Centre Chapel at the Seminary, Tal-Virtù

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Kull sena naqraw silta minn kapitlu 10 tal-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann, fejn Ġesù jippreżenta lilu nnifsu bħala r-Ragħaj it-Tajjeb. Fis-silta ta’ din is-sena — forsi l-iżjed waħda magħrufa — insibu din l-espressjoni qawwija: “Jiena r-Ragħaj it-Tajjeb. Ir-ragħaj it-tajjeb jagħti ħajtu għan-nagħaġ tiegħu” (Ġw 10:11). Fl-Evanġelju sabiħ tal-lum din il-frażi kemm-il darba nisimgħuha: ‘li tagħti ħajtek’. Ġesù, biex jispjegaha juża diversi tixbihat… Read more »

Dear brothers and sisters!

Each year, the World Day of Prayer for Vocations invites us to reflect on the precious gift of the Lord’s call to each of us, as members of his faithful pilgrim people, to participate in his loving plan and to embody the beauty of the Gospel in different states of life.

In those days, Jesus said: “I am the good shepherd.
