The Pope: The encounter with the risen Christ transforms our lives, enlightens our affections, desires and thoughts

Youth Jubilee Mass

03/08/2025   Tor Vergata, Italy

Dear young people,

After last night’s Prayer Vigil, we gather again today to celebrate the Eucharist, the Sacrament of the Lord’s total gift of himself to us.  We can imagine ourselves today retracing the journey made on Easter evening by the disciples on the road to Emmaus (cf. Lk 24:13-35): they set out from Jerusalem frightened and disappointed, convinced that, after Jesus’ death, there was nothing more to expect, nothing in which to place their hope… Read more »

Jesus’ simple words have a great effect on our conscience – The Archbishop

03/08/2025   The Parish Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Hemm Kelma ta’ Ġesù llum li tispjegalna x’jinkwetah. Meta jitkellem fuq ir-regħba, jitkellem fuq xi ħadd li mhux ifaddal – għax li tfaddal huwa għaqal – imma li jfaddal għalih nnifsu biss. “Iftħu għajnejkom u ħarsu rwieħkom minn kull regħba” (Lq 12:15).  Meta dak li tagħmel, tagħmlu biss għalik innifsek. “Iblah li int!” (Lq 12:20). “Hekk jiġrilu min jiġma’ l-ġid għalih innifsu bla ma jistagħna quddiem Alla” (Lq 12:21)… Read more »

Where did all this good come from? – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

01/08/2025   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Mnejn ġieb dan l-għerf u din il-qawwa tal-għaġeb?” (Mt 13:54) Dan huwa l-kliem li qalu n-nies fis-sinagoga, meta Ġesù kien hemmhekk; daħal fis-sinagoga u beda jgħallem. Ir-reazzjoni tagħhom kienet reazzjoni ta’ stagħġib – Mnejn ġieb dan l-għerf u din il-qawwa tal-għaġeb?  Qed jitkellmu fuq il-kelma tiegħu, li kienet kelma tal-għerf; u fuq dak li kien jagħmel, is-sinjali u l-mirakli li kienu juru qawwa tal-għaġeb.  Għalhekk, il-mistoqsija tagħhom kienet: “Mnejn ġieh dan kollu?” (Mt 13:56)

Hija mistoqsija tajba, għaliex proprju dak li kellhom jaraw… Read more »
