News from the Church in Malta
An angel of the Lord, bathed in light, illumines the night and brings glad tidings to the shepherds: “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord” (Lk 2:10-11). Heaven breaks forth upon earth amid the wonder of the poor and the singing of angels… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Tibżgħux, għax araw, qiegħed inħabbrilkom ferħ kbir” (Lq 2:10). F’dan il-lejl qaddis tal-Milied, l-istedina ta’ din it-tarbija ċkejkna hi biex aħna ma nibżgħux. Jista’ jkun li fid-dinja, fil-ħajja tagħna, hemm ħafna affarijiet li jafu jbeżgħuna, iħawduna, jinkwetawna. Illum il-Mulej, waqt li jistedinna nħarsu lejn ibnu mwieled tarbija, permezz tal-anġlu jgħidilna: “Tibżgħux”.
Imma għaliex m’għandniex nibżgħu, aħna li nisimgħu l-aħbarijiet; nisimgħu dwar gwerer, epidemiji, vjolenza, qtil; għaliex m’għandniex nibżgħu? … Read more »

Greetings and best wishes for a joyous Christmas to everyone following and listening to this message. This year, I have chosen to deliver my Christmas reflections from this dear location, Hospice Malta, traditionally known as the Cini Institute in Santa Venera. What is the historical significance of this place to the Maltese and Gozitans?
Cini Institute began as a food production facility owned by the Cini family, who operated a pasta factory here… Read more »
Starting from the Holy Year of 1900, we retrace some key moments of the ceremonies for the opening of the Holy Door.
One of the symbolic images of every Jubilee is that of the Pontiff crossing the threshold of the Holy Door. This is a moment deeply rooted in the Middle Ages. The first pilgrim to cross the threshold is always the Bishop of Rome… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Ara, int se tnissel fil-ġuf u jkollok iben u ssemih Ġesù” (Lq 1:31) Dan hu l-kliem tal-anġlu Gabriel lil Marija, fis-silta li għadna kif smajna mill-Evanġelju skont San Luqa. Hija l-ġrajja meta l-anġlu jidher lil Marija u jagħmlilha l-istedina biex hi ssir omm Alla. Din narawha proprju ftit ġranet qabel ma niċċelebraw it-twelid ta’ Ġesù. Hu interessanti, fil-fatt, li ftit ġranet qabel it-twelid aħna qed naraw il-ġrajja tat-tnissil… Read more »
