The Archbishop during a religious profession: Sow love wherever you go

02/10/2025   Church of Our Lady of Loreto, Tal-Pietà

Ritratt: Sr Michaela Paris L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

‘Kien imur jinxteħet ħdejn il-bieb ta’ daru.’ (Lq 16:20) Hekk jgħid Ġesù dwar dan il-fqir li kellu ġismu ġerħa waħda u li fir-rakkont tiegħu Ġesù jagħzel li jagħtih l-isem ta’ Lazzru.

Lazzru għal Ġesù kien isem għażiż għax kien l-isem ta’ wieħed mill-ħbieb għeżież tiegħu. Lazzru ħu Marija u ħu Marta kien wieħed min dawk li Ġesù kellu intimita` kbira magħhom u meta qed jirrakonta l-parabbola tal-għani u l-fqir, lill-fqir jagħtih isem; jagħtih l-isem tal-ħabib għażiż tiegħu, Lazzru… Read more »

02/10/2025   St Peter's Square, the Vatican

Cycle of Catechesis – Jubilee 2025. Jesus Christ our Hope. III. The Passover of Jesus. 9. The Resurrection. “Peace be with you!” (Jn 20:21)

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

The centre of our faith and the heart of our hope are firmly rooted in the resurrection of Christ. When we read the Gospels carefully, we realize that this mystery is surprising not only because a man – the Son of God – rose from the dead, but also because of the way he decided to do so… Read more »

Be servants of justice, not blind instruments of the law – The Archbishop

Mass on the opening of the Forensic Year

01/10/2025   St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Il-ħaqq ikun bla ħniena għal min li ma jurix ħniena u l-ħniena tirbaħ fuq il-ħaqq” (Ġak 2:13). Din il-kelma qawwija mill-Ittra ta’ San Ġakbu tipprova tagħmel żwieġ bejn l-eżiġenzi tal-ġustizzja u l-ħniena. Din hi x-xewqa tiegħi għalikom, fil-bidu tas-Sena Forensi, għeżież membri tal-ġudikatura, staff tal-qrati tagħna, avukati.

Il-ġustizzja għandha l-eżiġenzi tagħha: li kulħadd jieħu dak li ħaqqu u li l-ġudikatur meta jiġġudika, kif jgħid ukoll San Ġakbu, ma jħarisx lejn l-uċuħ… Read more »

Dear Brothers and Sisters!

The 111th World Day of Migrants and Refugees, which my predecessor chose to coincide with the Jubilees of Migrants and of the Missions, offers us an opportunity to reflect on the connections between hope, migration and mission.

The current global context is sadly marked by wars, violence, injustice and extreme weather events, which force millions of people to leave their homelands in search of refuge elsewhere… Read more »
