Parish priests’ 2025 Live-In: ‘Missionaries of Hope’

30/01/2025

Il‑kappillani tal‑parroċċi f’Malta ltaqgħu għal‑live‑in annwali, bit‑tema li kienet ‘Missjunarji tat-Tama’, fid-dawl tal-Ġublew tat-Tama li l-Knisja Kattolika madwar id-dinja kollha qed tiċċelebra din is-sena. Huma kellhom il-ħin jirriflettu fuq xi tfisser tkun missjunarju llum u kif permezz tal-ezempju tagħhom, ikunu mezz ta’ tama lill-oħrajn.

Il-live-in ta’ din is-sena sar f’format differenti sabiex il-kappillani jkunu f’ambjent iktar rilassat u ta’ fraternità u jgħinhom jirriflettu aktar fuq dak li semgħu u ddiskutew… Read more »

New Vatican document examines potential and risks of AI

30/01/2025

The Pope’s warnings about Artificial Intelligence in recent years provide the outline for “Antiqua et Nova,” the “Note on the relationship between artificial intelligence and human intelligence,” that offers the results of a mutual reflection between the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Dicastery for Culture and Education. The new document is addressed especially to “those entrusted with transmitting the faith,” but also to “those who share the conviction that scientific and technological advances should be directed toward serving the human person and the common good” [5]… Read more »

Il-messaġġ tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Primo di tutto, un caro saluto a Monsignore Davide Cito. Grazie per questa disponibilità. La sua presenza ci ricorda che Roma non è così lontana. E che nostro servizio è anche un respiro molto molto ampio.

Medicine

30/01/2025

Hawnhekk, fiċ-Ċentru tal-Onkoloġija, il-Mulej jagħtini l-grazzja li napprezza bil-bosta x-xogħol tant dedikat tat-team mediku kollu. Kemm napprezza bil-kbir il-kura li jagħtuna bħala pazjenti kemm għax hi tal-ogħla kwalità u anki wkoll l-għaliex l-mod kif tingħata hu tassew għaref u li jolqot mill-qiegħ nett il-bżonnijiet ta’ kull persuna.

Filwaqt li nuri l-apprezzament tiegħi lejn kulħadd, ħaddiema Maltin u mhux Maltin, nixtieq ninkoraġġiehom ilkoll ħa jibqgħu dejjem jitgħallmu mhux biss mill-kotba imma, u fuq kollox, mill-minjiera bla tarf tal-esperjenza… Read more »

Pope at Audience: Let’s imitate St. Joseph’s holy example and faith

29/01/2025

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

Today we will continue to contemplate Jesus our hope in the mystery of His origins, as narrated by the infancy Gospels.

Whereas Luke lets us do so from the perspective of the mother, the Virgin Mary, instead Matthew takes the perspective of Joseph, the man who assumes the legal paternity of Jesus, grafting him onto the trunk of Jesse and linking him to the promise made to David… Read more »

From persecutor to evangelizer – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

26/01/2025   Church of St. Paul, Birkirkara

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Il-ġrajja tal-konverżjoni ta’ San Pawl mhijiex biss ġrajja straordinarja fil-ħajja ta’ qaddis kbir imma hija wkoll avveniment importanti ħafna fl-Istorja tal-Knisja. Kif smajna fir-rakkont sabiħ tal-Atti tal-Appostli, u jirrepetih ukoll San Pawl fl-Ittra tiegħu lill-Galatin, Sawl – kif kien jismu – kien jaħdem b’entużjażmu biex isib lis-segwaċi ta’ Ġesù u jitfagħhom fil-ħabs. L-intenzjoni tiegħu kienet li lil dawk li ma kinux qed jimxu skont il-liġi ta’ Alla, kif kien jifhimha hu, jagħmel minn kollox biex jippersegwitahom… Read more »
