Hemm tliet punti li jsemmi Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju, li huma żgur ta’ ġid għall-ħajja tagħna. Ħa nibda mill-aħħar kliem li jgħid, li għall-bidu jinstema’ ftit stramb, meta jgħid: “min għandu jingħatalu, u min ma għandux jitteħidlu saħansitra dak li jaħseb li għandu” (Lq 8:18).

Aħna f’moħħna mal-ewwel jiġina l-ħsieb: dan fair li bniedem li ma jkollux jispiċċa li ma għandu xejn, u min għandu jkollu ħafna aktar? … Read more »

Pope: Justice must be animated by wisdom, love, and mercy

Address of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV

20/09/2025   Saint Peter's Square, the Vatican

Muy buenos días a todos, good morning and welcome! 

Dear brothers and sisters,

I am pleased to welcome you on the occasion of the Jubilee dedicated to those who, in various capacities, work in the vast field of justice.  I greet the distinguished authorities present, who have come from many countries, representing various courts, and all of you who daily carry out a necessary service for orderly relations between individuals, communities and states.  I also greet the other pilgrims who have joined this Jubilee!  The Jubilee makes us all pilgrims who, in rediscovering the signs of a hope that does not disappoint, wish “to recover the confident trust that we require, in the Church and in society, in our interpersonal relationships, in international relations, and in our task of promoting the dignity of all persons and respect for God’s gift of creation” (Francis, Spes Non Confundit, 25)… Read more »
