Living eternal life from now by living in peace – The Archbishop

Mass on Mother's Day and the World Day of Prayer for Vocations

  Vocations Centre Chapel, Archbishop's Seminary, Tal-Virtù

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Fir-raba’ Ħadd tal-Għid, kull sena dejjem niftakru fil-Mulej bħala r-Ragħaj tagħna. Hi espressjoni sabiħa li smajna wkoll fit-tieni qari llum mill-Ktieb tal-Apokalissi: “il-Ħaruf li hemm f’nofs it-tron, ikun ir-ragħaj tagħhom; u jwassalhom ħdejn ilmijiet tal-għejun tal-ħajja. U Alla jixxuttalhom kull demgħa minn għajnejhom” (Apok 7:17). Dan hu r-ragħaj tagħna.

The lower half of the shield has a light background and displays an image that recalls the Order of Saint Augustine: a closed book with a heart pierced by an arrow… Read more »
