Pilgrims of Hope: MSSP Oratory Youth’s Journey on the Cammino di San Benedetto

12/05/2025

A group of young Maltese pilgrims, organised and led by the MSSP Oratory Youth, have returned from a 10-day journey along the Cammino di San Benedetto—an ancient walking route through central Italy steeped in monastic tradition and spiritual depth. What began as a physical trek through hills, forests, and medieval towns unfolded into something far more profound: a renewal of faith, identity, and a deep sense of community… Read more »

Living eternal life from now by living in peace – The Archbishop

Mass on Mother's Day and the World Day of Prayer for Vocations

11/05/2025   Vocations Centre Chapel, Archbishop's Seminary, Tal-Virtù

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Fir-raba’ Ħadd tal-Għid, kull sena dejjem niftakru fil-Mulej bħala r-Ragħaj tagħna. Hi espressjoni sabiħa li smajna wkoll fit-tieni qari llum mill-Ktieb tal-Apokalissi: “il-Ħaruf li hemm f’nofs it-tron, ikun ir-ragħaj tagħhom; u jwassalhom ħdejn ilmijiet tal-għejun tal-ħajja. U Alla jixxuttalhom kull demgħa minn għajnejhom” (Apok 7:17). Dan hu r-ragħaj tagħna.

L-ewwel nett, interessanti ħafna li fil-Ktieb tal-Apokalissi, l-aħħar ktieb tal-Bibbja, il-ħaruf tal-Għid, il-ħaruf bla tebgħa, isir ir-ragħaj… Read more »

Pope Leo XIV’s coat of arms offers a clear reflection of his Augustinian roots and the values he seeks to promote during his pontificate, particularly unity and communion within the Church.

The shield is divided diagonally into two sections. The upper half features a blue background with a white lily.

The lower half of the shield has a light background and displays an image that recalls the Order of Saint Augustine: a closed book with a heart pierced by an arrow… Read more »
