Il-konċistorju straordinarju sejjaħ lill-kardinali kollha minn madwar id-dinja, li ħafna minnhom ħadu sehem fir-rit tal-għeluq tal-Bieb Imqaddes u l-Quddiesa tal-Epifanija, sabiex jingħaqdu mal-Papa sabiex jiddiskutu temi importanti relatati.

Wara li ntalbet it-talba tal-Veni Cretaor Spiritus fis-Sala tas-Sinodu, il-kardinali flimkien mal-Kap Pontifiċju pproċedew għall-format sinodali tal-imwejjed tondi fl-Awla Pawlu VI… Read more »

Pope at Audience: Second Vatican Council still guiding star of Church’s journey

07/01/2026   Awla Pawlu VI, il-Vatikan

Ħuti, l-għodwa t-tajba u merħba!

Wara s-Sena Ġubilari, li matulha waqafna fuq il-misteri tal-ħajja ta’ Ġesù, qed nibdew ċiklu ġdid ta’ katekeżijiet li se jkun iddedikat lill-Konċilju Vatikan II u lill-qari mill-ġdid tad-Dokumenti tiegħu. Hija okkażjoni prezzjuża biex niskopru mill-ġdid il-ġmiel u l-importanza ta’ din il-ġrajja ekkleżjali. San Ġwanni Pawlu II, fi tmiem il-Ġublew tas-sena 2000, afferma hekk: “Inħoss iktar minn qatt qabel id-dmir li nindika l-Konċilju, bħala l-grazzja kbira li l-Knisja gawdiet minnha fis-seklu 20” (Ittra appostolika Novo millennio ineunte, 57)… Read more »

Homily of Pope Leo XIV

Dear brothers and sisters,

The Gospel (cf. Mt 2:1-12) described for us the great joy the Magi experienced when they saw the star once again (cf. v. 10), and at the same time how Herod and all in Jerusalem were troubled by their searching (cf. v. 3). Indeed, every time Sacred Scripture speaks of God manifesting himself, it does not hide the contrasting reactions, such as joy and agitation, resistance and obedience, fear and longing… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Għadna kemm ilqajna lil dawn iż-żgħażagħ li qed juru d-disponibbiltà tagħhom biex ikunu istitwiti, magħżula għall-ministeru tal-Lettorat, jiġifieri dawk l-persuni li fil-miġemgħa tagħna jħabbru l-Kelma t’Alla. Hemm vers sabiħ li jgħaqqad dak li se nagħmlu minn hawn u ftit ieħor, mal-festa sabiħa li qed niċċelebraw illum. Fis-salm hemm miktub: “musbieħ għal riġlejja l-Kelma tiegħek” (Salm 119:105).

Jiena nawguralkom f’din l-festa tal-Epifanija – festa tad-dawl, festa mmexxija mill-Kewkba, għajn ta’ dawl, li l-Kelma t’Alla – għeżież Marvic, Daniel u Luke – tkun il-musbieħ għal riġlejkom… Read more »
