My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

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

  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: sinodosRead more »

Psalm: 121 (122):1-2,4-5
Second Reading: Colossians 1:12-20

Gospel: Luke 23:35-43

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

  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 »

Watch: Experts warn Malta needs stronger safeguarding systems to protect the vulnerable

On World Children’s Day, experts warn that gaps in awareness, law and vetting still leave vulnerable people at risk.

Malta’s safeguarding framework is growing more sophisticated — with stronger structures, clearer procedures, and a Church-led commission that now extends support beyond religious settings.

Yet, as experts highlighted on Attwalità on World Children’s Day, the system is still failing the people who need it most: those too afraid, too isolated, or too unaware to seek help.

Legal gaps and limited oversight leave vulnerable people exposed

Mark Pellicano, Head of Malta’s Safeguarding Commission, outlined a stark truth: while the Commission investigates reports, provides victim support, trains organisations, and develops safeguarding policies, it lacks the legal power to protect vulnerable people across all sectors… Read more »
