Let us love Jesus through actions – The Archbishop

08/06/2025

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Jekk tħobbuni” (Ġw 14:15). Ġesù jħalli d-deċiżjoni f’idejk. Ma jġagħlekx tħobbu bilfors imma quddiemek qed jagħmel għażla, biex tagħżel inti. Inti trid tħobb ’il Ġesù? Tista’ tgħidli mhux dejjem jirnexxili. Għamel kuraġġ. Taqtax qalbek. Ġesù jagħraf l-isforzi li tagħmel biex tħobbu. U tgħidli: Imma jien lil Ġesù ma narahx. U jiena nistaqsik: Inti lil sħabek kif titrattahom? Bi mħabba? Lill-ġenituri tiegħek tirrispettahom? … Read more »

The Justice and Peace Commission of the Archdiocese of Malta expresses deep concern at the recent prosecution of 12 homeless individuals, charged with loitering and begging, simply for not having a fixed address. 

This distressing episode has laid bare the alarming reality that our system too often punishes those in need instead of offering a helping hand. As Archbishop Charles Scicluna recently said, housing is not merely a commodity but a fundamental human right… Read more »

Pope at Audience: Looking for meaning in life? Turn to God

04/06/2025   Saint Peter's Square, Vatican City

Dear brothers and sisters,

I would like to look at one of Jesus’ parables again. Also in this case, it is a story that fosters our hope.
