Archbishop meets women and children residing at Il-Milja

Fondazzjoni Sebħ opens garden at Il-Milja marking 25 years of its second-stage shelter

Archbishop Charles Scicluna yesterday met with some of the women and children residing at Il-Milja, Fondazzjoni Sebħ’s second-stage shelter for women and children escaping violence, after celebrating mass with them.

“When I had the privilege to greet some of the residents today, there are two phrases that remain with me: ‘I am at peace’ and ‘I feel safe’. Listening to them, it is very gratifying, and I am really grateful because I have a direct witness of the extraordinary effect of this initiative, of the fact that Il-Milja is a safe haven.”

The Archbishop added: “I would also like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Bernice Cassar, and so many other victims of violence who did not make it, to be able to get the wholeness and healing that people get here.”

After meeting the residents and the employees who support them, the Arcbishop inaugurated the Secret Garden at Il-Milja… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Nissuġġerilkom li taħsbu ftit fuq din il-frażi qawwija u sabiħa ta’ Ġesù, li twegħidna il-preżenza tiegħu. “Fejn tnejn jew tlieta jkunu miġbura f’ismi hemm inkun jien f’nofshom” (Mt 18:20). Xi tfisser li tkun miġbur f’isem Ġesù?

Li inti tagħżel, għax trid u b’għarfien sħiħ, il-mod kif jaħseb u jħobb Ġesù. Li inti tgħix f’isem Ġesù jfisser li tgħix kif għex hu; li qabel kull ħsieb tiegħek, qabel kull kelma tiegħek, qabel kull azzjoni tiegħek, issaqsi lilek innifsek: ‘F’dawn iċ-ċirkostanzi Ġesù x’kien jagħmel?’

Ġesù għadda fostna jgħallem u jfejjaq… Read more »

Gospel: Luke 16:9-15

In those days, Jesus told his disciples: “Make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes. Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own? 

No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

“Hieni min jiekol il-ħobż fis-Saltna t’Alla” (Lq 14:15). Din hija beatitudni li ma jgħidhiex Ġesù, imma jgħidha wieħed minn dawk li kienu qed jieklu ma’ Ġesù fuq l-istess mejda.

Ġesù jinsisti li din il-beatitudni ta’ “min jiekol il-ħobż fis-Saltna t’Alla” hija kwistjoni ta’ stedina li aħna nirċievu u li nilqgħu. Jagħtina parabbola ta’ diversi kategoriji ta’ nies li rċevew stedina għall-pranzu kbir… Read more »
