L-Arċisqof Charles Scicluna żar l-Iskola Primarja J. Hookham Frere f’Tal-Pietà nhar il-Ħamis 12 ta’ Frar. Hemmhekk kellu l-opportunità jiltaqa’ u jiddjaloga mal-istudenti u l-edukaturi.

Waqt id-djalogu mal-istudenti l-kbar, fost it-temi li ġew diskussi, l-Arċisqof tkellem dwar is-sbuħija li ngħixu flimkien minkejja d-differenzi tagħna fir-reliġjon li nipprattikaw, kif ukoll saħaq dwar l-importanza li kull persuna jkollha l-paċi f’qalbha biex id-dinja tkun post aħjar.

Din iż-żjara saret permezz tal-inizjattiva tal-iSpiritual Development in Schools, li bħala parti minn xogħolhom, jikkoordinaw żjarat pastorali tal-isqfijiet fl-iskejjel tal-istat u dawk indipendenti… Read more »

Prayer for Spiritual Communion

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 »

The Pharisees came forward and began to argue with Jesus, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him. He sighed from the depth of his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”

Faithfulness begins in the heart – The Archbishop

15/02/2026 asilica of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Valletta

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù huwa ppreokkupat biex il-liġi ta’ Alla neħduha bis-serjetà. Hu jinsisti li sal-aħħar taż-żmien: “anqas l-iżgħar ittra jew tikka waħda mil-Liġi ma titneħħa sa ma jkun seħħ kollox” (Mt 5:18). Imma jissuġġerixxi li ma niqfux biss fil-wiċċ, imma nħarsu lejn il-qalb, meta ngħidu: ħa nimxi fuq il-liġi t’Alla.

F’din is-silta, pjuttost twila mill-kapitlu 5 ta’ San Mattew, Ġesù jieħu diversi eżempji tal-liġi imma jgħallimna wkoll immorru lejn il-qalb tal-liġi… Read more »

Human trafficking may, at times, feel like a distant headline, a crisis “elsewhere”, far removed from the rhythms of daily life. Yet its reality – millions of lives coerced, sold, or forced into exploitation – is a stark reminder of how deeply injustice can penetrate society.

This year’s message for the 12th World Day of Prayer and Awareness Against Human Trafficking has crystallised this reality with moral clarity and urgency… Read more »

It’s not just a question of what you do, but where your heart is ? – The Archbishop

Mass and concert from Harrow School Choir

14/02/2026 St Paul's Cathedral- Imdina

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Ġesù jinkoraġġina li nobdu l-kmandamenti, imma jrid jgħallimna, forsi, tagħlima radikali importanti. Mhux kwistjoni biss x’tagħmel, imma l-qalb tiegħek fejn qiegħda? U bl-eżempji prattiċi, jitkellem dwar ir-rabja, dwar il-fedeltà, jitkellem dwar il-kelma li Alla jkun xhud tagħha. U jgħidilna mhux kwistjoni biss li ma toqtolx lil ħuk, imma jekk int tobogħdu, qalbek mhix fil-paċi, imħassra. Mhix kwistjoni biss li lil martek ma tibdilhiex ma’ ħaddieħor… Read more »

Every path towards conversion begins by allowing the word of God to touch our hearts and welcoming it with a docile spirit… Read more »
