Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
The centre of our faith and the heart of our hope are firmly rooted in the resurrection of Christ.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Il-ħaqq ikun bla ħniena għal min li ma jurix ħniena u l-ħniena tirbaħ fuq il-ħaqq” (Ġak 2:13). Din il-kelma qawwija mill-Ittra ta’ San Ġakbu tipprova tagħmel żwieġ bejn l-eżiġenzi tal-ġustizzja u l-ħniena. Din hi x-xewqa tiegħi għalikom, fil-bidu tas-Sena Forensi, għeżież membri tal-ġudikatura, staff tal-qrati tagħna, avukati.
Il-ġustizzja għandha l-eżiġenzi tagħha: li kulħadd jieħu dak li ħaqqu u li l-ġudikatur meta jiġġudika, kif jgħid ukoll San Ġakbu, ma jħarisx lejn l-uċuħ… Read more »

The 111th World Day of Migrants and Refugees, which my predecessor chose to coincide with the Jubilees of Migrants and of the Missions, offers us an opportunity to reflect on the connections between hope, migration and mission.
The current global context is sadly marked by wars, violence, injustice and extreme weather events, which force millions of people to leave their homelands in search of refuge elsewhere… Read more »
