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

Ġesù jifraħ bil-fidi ta’ raġel li kien ġej mill-pagani.(Mt 8: 5-13). Jagħtina s-sinjal li hu japprezza l-fidi ġejja minn fejn ġejja. Ma jħarisx lejn l-uċuħ, ma jħarisx lejn it-tikketti, imma jħares lejn il-qalb. U diġà f’wieħed mill-ewwel Evanġelji  ta’ din il-mixja tal-Avvent, li twassalna għall-Milied, nindunaw xi trid tkun it-triq ta’ dan l-istaġun: trid tkun it-triq tal-qalb… Read more »

L-ewwel kelma li tiġi f‘qalbi hija l-kelma ‘grazzi’. Grazzi lil dan it-tim, li qed jagħmel xogħol diffiċli, iva, imma imprezzabli, essenzjali.

F’dinja fejn hemm ħafna sorsi, tajjeb li aħna noffru servizz li persuna tkun tista’ tafdah. Ovvjament, il-fiduċja trid takkwistaha pass wara pass, kuljum. U din il-fiduċja tibnuha intom bil-professjonalità tagħkom, bil-kapaċità li tgħarblu s-sorsi, bl-umiltà li intom stess tkunu l-widna ta’ min m’għandux vuċi… Read more »

Mass on the first anniversary of the restoration of the Marija Addolorata Cemetery Chapel.

28/11/2025   Raħal il-Ġdid

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

Din is-silta mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Luqa(Lq 12: 35-40) tispjegalna ftit l-atteġġjament ta’ Ġesù fuq il-mewt. Għax għal Ġesù il-mewt hija żjara u jgħidilna:  “Kunu mħejjija għal din iż-żjara” (Lq 12: 40). Ma ħarabx minnha, forsi din hija waħda mill-akbar misteri tal-ħajja. Ma nafux meta. Anke jekk nippruvaw nippjanaw il-mewt tagħna, u nafu li hemm kultura, mhux biss tippjana l-mewt tiegħek, imma ġġibha b’idejk, is-suwiċidju assistit, u mhux… Read more »

“Volunteering is much more rewarding than working for a salary” – Joan Libreri

03/12/2025

Joan Libreri, li f’Ottubru għalqet 10 snin voluntiera ma’ Missio Malta, qalet li “l-volontarjat huwa ħafna iżjed ta’ sodisfazzjon minn meta taħdem għal salarju personali”.

F’intervista ma’ Newsbook Malta stqarret li peress li hi pensjonanta, tħossha fortunata li tista’ tgħid dan – “Naf li dan ikun diffiċli ħafna għal dawk li mhumiex pensjonanti. Iżda meta tiddedika ftit sigħat minn ħinek għal xogħol volontarju, hija esperjenza ta’ sodisfazzjon kbir”… Read more »
