Mass on the fifth Sunday of Easter

07/05/2023   The Parish Church of Our Lady of Mt Carmel, Fleur-de-Lys

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Tajjeb li niftakru li dan il-kliem Ġesù qalu fil-mument għażiż; aħna nafuh bħala l-mument tal-aħħar ċena propju f’Ħamis ix-Xirka. Qiegħed mad-dixxipli tiegħu. Qegħdin jieklu l-aħħar ikla qabel jingħata f’idejn l-għedewwa tiegħu biex jagħmlu bih li jridu.

Imma d-djalogu mqanqal, sabiħ tal-Mulej Ġesù ma’ sħabu hu wkoll okkażjoni fejn nifhmu eżattament xi jrid jgħidilna Ġesù fuq l-affarijiet l-iżjed għeżież… Read more »

Ta’ kull sena fir-raba’ Ħadd tal-Għid nisimgħu l-kelma ta’ Ġesù li tuża din l-espressjoni qawwija ħafna u li permezz tagħha Ġesù jipprezenta ruħu bħala l-bieb u r-ragħaj.

Din is-sena fl-ewwel silta mill-kapitlu 10 ta’ San Ġwann, li hu l-kapitlu fejn Ġesù jispjega din ix-xbieha sabiħa tar-ragħaj it-tajjeb, l-enfasi hi pjuttost fuq il-bieb: il-bieb tal-maqjel, il-bieb ta’ dak l-ispazju fejn in-nagħaġ huma siguri u kkurati, lil hemm mill-periklu imma hu wkoll l-ispazju minn fejn għandhom bżonn joħorġu biex jirgħu u jmantnu lilhom infushom bl-għajnuna tar-ragħaj… Read more »

Our country’s economic “success” should never be obtained at the expense of workers

29/04/2023

On this year’s workers’ day, the Justice and Peace Commission wishes to express its concern regarding the injustice suffered by non-EU persons working in Malta who, despite paying National Insurance contributions, do not recieve a pension.  Our current pension system relies on the assumption that non-EU workers will stay here for a few years, pay social insurance contributions and leave before receiving a pension. The Commission believes that the kind of society implied by this model is socially unjust and morally unacceptable… Read more »

I pray to St Publius that our leaders will be leaders who defend the dignity of all humans, no matter who they are – The Archbishop

Mass on the feast of St Publius

23/04/2023   The Parish Church of St Publius, Floriana

“Jiddi d-dawl tiegħek fid-dlam. Id-dlam tiegħek ikun bħal nofsinhar. Il-Mulej imexxik dejjem”. Dan il-kliem tal-profeta Iżaija li smajna fl-ewwel qari hu indirizzat ukoll illum lill-qaddis San Publiju. Ismu kien wieħed mill-iżjed ismijiet popolari fid-dinja Rumana. L-istudjużi jgħidulna li l-isem Publius kien x’aktarx il-ħames isem popolari fl-Imperu Ruman u l-għerq tiegħu kien propju riferiment għall-poplu. Mill-istess għerq ta’ Publiju għandna l-poplu stess, repubblika – dawn kollha ġejjin mill-istess għerq li jagħtina l-isem ukoll, il-prenome kif kienu jgħidulu l-Latini: publius… Read more »
