Message by Pope Leo XIV
Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
Today’s Gospel speaks of Jesus approaching his disciples by walking on the waters of the Sea of Galilee in the midst of a storm (cf. Mt 14:22-33).
Following the miracle of the loaves and fish (cf. Mt 14:13-21), the Master urges his disciples to get into the boat and set out, while he withdraws to the mountain to pray by himself… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Wieħed faċli jistaqsi: imma dan l-episodju li jirrakkuntalna San Mattew f’kap 14, x’sinifikat għandu għalina llum? L-ewwel nett, x’jgħidilna dwar Ġesù? Ġesù bil-fatt li jimxi fuq il-baħar imqalleb u mħabbat, juri d-divinità tiegħu, mod ieħor kif Ġesù mhux biss jesprimi, imma jirrivela, jikxef, jaqsam ma’ ħbiebu l-identità tiegħu. Għax hu Alla biss li kapaċi, fil-mentalità Lhudija, li jissupera l-ħalel u l-kaos tal-baħar… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters,
Dear young people!
The Feast of the Transfiguration, which we are celebrating, is a mystery of light that enriches our encounter — one that is so joyful, yet also raises questions about the present and the future. In the Gospel, we find the contrast between light and shadow, silence and words, wonder and incomprehension. Today, we are in Assisi, a city to which countless pilgrims have made their way for centuries, because here everything whispers that our lives can take on a new form, radiate light and heal the world… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Din il-ġrajja ta’ Ġesù li jkattar il-ħobż kienet tant importanti fit-tradizzjoni Nisranija li nsibuha fl-erba’ Evanġelji. Dan hu r-rakkont ta’ Ġesù li jara n-nies li ġew biex jisimgħuh. Hu jinduna wkoll li għandhom bżonn jieklu, u jieħu ħsiebhom hu. Imma hemm żewġ punti li xtaqt insemmi biex nifhmu aħjar il-kuntest ta’ dak li għamel Ġesù.
L-ewwel nett, l-Evanġelju tal-lum jibda bin-nota li għand Ġesù tasal l-aħbar li Erodi qatel lil Ġwanni l-Battista… Read more »
Archbishop Charles Scicluna has appealed for common sense and cooperation between authorities over the growing presence of burlesque-style performances in the streets of Valletta, warning that turning the historic capital’s roads into what he called a “burdell” – a brothel – does no good to anyone.
Speaking by telephone to the programme Għal Kulħadd, presented by Christine Delicata on RTK103, the Archbishop was asked about the controversy surrounding performances staged near the Church of Ta’ Ġieżu, run by the Franciscan friars, which has drawn public criticism after footage of a dancer on the church steps circulated widely on social media… Read more »

Illum qed ngħixu mument ta’ grazzja u ta’ tifkira li se jibqa’ mnaqqax fl-istorja tal-Forzi Armati ta’ Malta. Din il-knisja, li għal snin laqgħet fit-talb lill-membri tal-Forzi Armati, illum tirċievi uffiċjalment it-titlu tagħha u tiġi mqiegħda taħt il-patroċinju tal-Beatu Nazju Falzon.
Fil-ħajja tal-Knisja, it-titlu ta’ knisja mhuwiex sempliċi isem. Huwa att ekkleżjali u spiritwali… Read more »
