Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
Today, I will postpone the usual catechesis and I would like to pause with you to think about the people who – even at this moment – are crossing seas and deserts to reach a land where they can live in peace and safety.
Sea and desert: these two words return in many testimonies I receive, both on the part of migrants, and of people who are engaged in coming to their aid… Read more »
Keyne Mascari u Elise Caligari qed iqattgħu ħafna mill-ħin tagħhom ma’ persuni li jinsabu waħedhom, jew jeħtieġu xi forma ta’ għajnuna, fosthom dawk li m’għandhomx saqaf fuq rashom u għaldaqstant jorqdu barra.
Elise qalet li matul is-sajf tas-sena li għaddiet kellha l-opportunità biex tgħin social worker li tagħmel parti mit-tim tad-Djakonija. Djakonija hija inizjattiva tal-Knisja f’Malta li fi kliem Keyne, “tgħin familji fil-bżonn u jkunu komunità.”
Il-mument li rat realtajiet li ħafna ma jarawx, Elise ġiet konxja mill-bżonn ta’ iktar persuni li jiddedikaw il-ħin tagħhom għall-oħrajn… Read more »

come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

Omelija mill-Arċisqof Charles J. Scicluna waqt Quddiesa f’għeluq il-100 sena ta’ Bro Edward Galea FSC, fil-Knisja Parrokkjali tal-Madonna tal-Grazzja f’Ħaż-Żabbar.
Bro. Edward, nifirħu miegħek f’għeluq il-mitt sena minn twelidek, bħall-bieraħ fl-1924, hawnhekk Ħaż-Żabbar. Nifhmu li l-Mulej żejnek b’don li tkun missier spiritwali għal ħafna ġenerazzjonijiet ta’ studenti u ngħid jien ukoll għalliema. Il-paternità spiritwali hija sejħa biex tkun missier li tieħu ħsieb, li tgħożż, li teduka, li tapprezza, li b’inkuraġġiment u fuq kollox bl-eżempju, inti toħroġ l-aħjar li hemm fina, tedukah u tagħmel li jikber, li jixxettel, tmantih bil-kelma u bil-ħajja… Read more »

During Kamp Sajf, the members reflected on the way society is losing itself in superficiality and materialism… Read more »

Jesus said: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier things of the law: judgement and mercy and fidelity.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Matul il-Ħdud li għaddew smajna l-kapitlu 6 ta’ San Ġwann, u illum nisimgħu l-aħħar versi tiegħu. F’dan il-kapitlu Ġesù tkellem fuqu nnifsu bħala “il-ħobż li niżel mis-sema” (Ġw 6:58). Kienet xi ħaġa diffiċli ħafna biex il-Lhud ta’ żmienu jifhmuha u jilqgħuha, meta mbagħad insista li hu se jagħti lilu nnifsu għalina fl-Ewkaristija fil-ġisem u d-demm tiegħu. Meta semgħuh jgħid li ġismu hu ikel tassew u demmu hu xorb, tassew tfixklu… Read more »
