Diocesan Celebration on the solemnity of Christ the King

23/11/2025   The Basilica of Chris the King, Paola

Il-messaġġ tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Xtaqt li llum f’dan il-jum solenni nitolbu t-talba tal-Kredu biex aħna bħala knisja f’Malta nkunu qalb waħda, ħsieb wieħed mal-Papa Ljun XIV li llum nieda Ittra Appostolika mill-isbaħ, sabiħa ħafna. Meditazzjoni fuq il-Kredu li għandna kemm tlabna. Dan il-Kredu, din it-talba, din l-istqarrija tal-fidi għandha storja partikolari, importanti. Din is-sena għalqet 1700 sena. Kien proprju fis-sena 325 meta fil-Konċilju ta’ Nikea, illum fit-Turkija, l-Imperatur Konstantinu mwieżen minn ommu Elena sejjaħ l-isqfijiet ta’ dak iż-żmien biex joħolqu espressjoni ta’ fidi li tkun ta’ għaqda għall-knisja li kienet laċerata minn ħafna firdiet… Read more »

Towards a new pastoral plan for the Church: Communion, Participation, Mission

23/11/2025   St John Hall, Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta laqqgħet l-assemblea djoċesana annwali bit-tema ‘Il-Knisja f’Malta llum: Komunjoni, Parteċipazzjoni, Missjoni’, li hi t-tema tal-Pjan Pastorali ġdid li qed jitħejja biex jitnieda matul is-sena d-dieħla. Dan il-pjan se jkun koordinat mill-Vigarjat Episkopali għall-Koordinament Pastorali.

Fid-diskors tiegħu, l-Arċisqof Charles Scicluna spjega l-viżjoni tal-pjan pastorali li hu bbażat fuq il-kelmiet: ‘komunjoni’, ‘parteċipazzjoni’ u ‘missjoni’ – il-bażi tas-sinodalità. Sostna kemm ta’ kuljum Malta għandha bżonn tiskopri “l-imħabba li tiġi mill-għotja tal-ħajja tagħna lil xulxin u l-ispirtu ta’ servizz” – li hi parti mill-komunjoni li għandna naspiraw għaliha… Read more »

Il-messaġġ tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Nerġa’ nirrepeti bħalma għamilt ilbieraħ ir-ringrazzjament u l-gratitudni tiegħi tal-preżenza tagħkom u b’mod speċjali wkoll nirringrazzja lil dawk li qed isegwuna online. L-Assemblea Djoċesana, li ħarġet mill-inizjattiva tal-mibki Monsinjur Mercieca wara s-sinodu Djoċesan, hija esperjenza li ta’ kull sena tfakkarna li aħna rridu nikbru f’familja li nimxu flimkien. Wara kollox l-ispirtu tas-sinodu huwa dan li aħna niskopru lilna nfusna familja li qegħdin fi vjaġġ flimkien: sinodos… Read more »

The rulers sneered at Jesus and said, “He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Messiah of God.” Even the soldiers jeered at him. As they approached to offer him wine they called out, “If you are King of the Jews, save yourself.” Above him there was an inscription that read, “This is the King of the Jews.”

Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying, “Are you not the Messiah? … Read more »

Presented to God to be His – Bishop Galea-Curmi

21/11/2025   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Il-Festa tal-Preżentazzjoni tal-Verġni Mqaddsa Marija fit-Tempju ma nsibuhiex fl-Iskrittura. Qiegħda fil-Letteratura Apokrifa, fl-Evanġelju Apokrifu skont San Ġakbu, fejn hemm li l-ġenituri tagħha ppreżentaw lil Marija, meta kienet għadha żgħira, ta’ tliet snin. 

Imma hemm tifsira importanti, anke jekk ma nafux dettalji storiċi fuq x’sar eżattament u x’ma sarx. Hemm tifsira li mindu kienet għadha żgħira, Marija ġiet ippreżentata lil Alla fit-Tempju, biex hemmhekk, mindu żgħira, hi diġà qed tkun konsagrata lil Alla biex tagħmel ir-rieda tiegħu u hemmhekk, fit-Tempju, tagħti qima lil Alla u ssir hi t-Tempju l-iktar importanti fejn Ġesù jitwieled… Read more »
