Ritratt:Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta – Ian Noel Pace L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Mela b’kull ġid lil min hu bil-ġuħ, ħa ħsieb Iżrael qaddej tiegħu għax ftakar fil-ħniena tiegħu” (Lq.1: 53-54). Dan il-kliem li Marija qalet waqt iż-żjara tagħha lil Eliżabetta jagħtu sinifikat profond lil din l-esperjenza li għamilna f’dawn l-aħħar jiem.

Aħna għandna l-ġuħ tas-sewwa, l-ġuħ tal-verità tal-ġustizzja, tal-fejqan u Sidtna Marija tgħallimna nafdaw f’Alla li jimla’ b’kull ġid lil min hu bil-ġuħ… Read more »

Gospel: Matthew 12:1-8

Jesus was going through a field of grain on the sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “See, your disciples are doing what is unlawful to do on the sabbath.”

He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry, how he went into the house of God and ate the bread of offering, which neither he nor his companions but only the priests could lawfully eat? … Read more »

We pray to our Lady so that she will be the one to accompany us in our hour of death – The Archbishop

Mass with Maltese pilgrims in Lourdes

17/07/2025 The Grotto of Massabielle, Lourdes

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

L-istedina li għamlilna Ġesù fl-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna, tirrepeti ruħha minn dan il-post għażiż ta’ kuljum: “Ejjew għandi intom li tinsabu mħabbtin u mtaqqlin u jiena nserraħkom” (Mt 11:28).

Dan il-post mill-1858, Sidtna Marija kienet messaġġiera, ambaxxattriċi tal-istedina ta’ binha. Għax il-kelma tal-Madonna mhix ’il bogħod mill-kelma ta’ binha. Il-missjoni tagħha anke issa, reġina tas-sema u tal-art hi li tibqa’ ttenni l-kelma li qalet lill-qaddejja fit-tieġ ta’ Kana: “Agħmlu dak li jgħidilkom hu.” Għax l-omm taf li hi tant qrib il-qalb ta’ binha, li binha l-iben t’Alla magħmul bniedem jixtiqilna l-aqwa ġid… Read more »

The forgiveness Jesus taught us frees us from the evil that tries to rule us – The Archbishop

Mass with Maltese pilgrims attending the annual pilgrimage organised by UMTAL

15/07/2025 Notre Dame Chapel, Lourdes

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Kull meta nisimgħu l-kelma ta’ Ġesù, hi sseħħ fostna. Il-kelma li jgħid Ġesù fis-sinagoga ta’ Nazaret, fejn kien trabba, isseħħ kull meta nisimgħu l-kelma tiegħu; din il-kitba seħħet illum intom u tisimgħu. Għalhekk is-smigħ tal-Kelma ta’ Alla li aħna niċċelebraw f’kull quddiesa, huwa mument għażiż ħafna. Il-kelma li nisimgħu, isseħħ, issir realtà. Illum Ġesù juża l-ktieb ta’ Isaija biex jagħtina l-programm ta’ ħajtu, tal-missjoni tiegħu, kif ukoll jurina għaliex ġie fostna l-Iben ta’ Alla magħmul bniedem… Read more »
