Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!

During the Easter season, like the early Church, we return to the words of Jesus, which reveal their full meaning in the light of his passion, death and resurrection.  What once eluded the disciples or caused them distress now comes back to their minds, warms their hearts and fills them with hope.

The Gospel proclaimed this Sunday presents the Master’s dialogue with his disciples during the Last Supper… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

L-ewwel kelma li jgħidilna Ġesù llum hija kelma ta’ kuraġġ: “Tħallux qalbkom titħawwad!” (Ġw 14:1) San Ġorġ Preca kien iħobb jgħid: ‘Alla tagħna hu Alla tal-paċi’; mhux Alla tal-inkwiet, tal-biża’ u tat-tregħid. U inti tkun taf li mistrieħ/a fir-rieda tiegħu, jekk ikollok il-paċi. Imma huwa jagħmillek kuraġġ ukoll: Tħallix qalbek titħawwad! U jagħtik ukoll risposta għall-inkwiet, it-taħbit, u t-taħwid. “Emmnu f’Alla, u emmnu fija wkoll” (Ġw 14:1)… Read more »
