Homily by Pope Leo XIV
Dear brothers and sisters,
On this World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, the readings chosen for today’s liturgy offer us two invitations to contemplate the works of the Lord — a task that is certainly not difficult in the setting of these beautiful gardens.
The Book of Wisdom encourages us to contemplate the beauty and power of creation, in order to appreciate its Creator (cf. Wis 13:1–9)… Read more »
Ritratt: Ian Noel Pace -Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hija storja drammatika din li għadna kif smajna meta Ġesù mar Nazaret, “fejn kien trabba” (Lq 4:16). U żgur li jolqotna kif hemm differenza kbira, kuntrast kbir, bejn il-bidu ta’ din il-ġrajja u kif spiċċat, speċjalment fir-reazzjoni tan-nies. L-Evanġelju jgħid li meta n-nies semgħu lil Ġesù jaqra s-silta mill-Ktieb ta’ Isaija l-Profeta, u mbagħad jgħid “din il-kitba seħħet illum intom u tisimgħu” (Lq 4:21) – “ilkoll laqgħu kliemu u stagħġbu għall-kliem mimli ħlewwa li kien ħiereġ minn fommu” (Lq 4:)… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hemm mistoqsijiet li nagħmluhom għax irridu nkunu nafu xi ħaġa. U hemm mistoqsijiet li nagħmluhom għax irridu nkunu nafu tassew lill-persuna. Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum, Ġesù jagħmel lid-dixxipli tiegħu mistoqsija ta’ dan it-tieni tip: “Min jgħidu n-nies li hu Bin il-bniedem?” (Mt 16:13) U mbagħad jagħmlilhom mistoqsija aktar personali: “Imma intom, min tgħidu li jien?” (Mt 16:15).
Din hija waħda mill-aktar mistoqsijiet importanti fl-Evanġelju kollu… Read more »
Message by Pope Leo XIV

“Let us seek not to retreat into our own convictions and religious certainties, but to remain open to an authentic relationship with Christ,” he highlighted, addressing the many people gathered in the sunny square… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Din il-mara hija omm; għandha tifla maħkuma mix-xitan, mill-ħażen; tifla li hija lsira tal-ħażen. Għalkemm mhijiex Lhudija, f’Ġesù għarfet lill-Mulej: “Ħenn għalija, Mulej” (Mt 15:22). Tirrikonoxxi li huwa Bin David, taf min hu, taf lil min qed titlob. Kull meta tkellmu, tkellmu b’umiltà kbira, imma wkoll b’għarfien kbir ta’ min qed titkellem miegħu – il-Mulej.
L-istint tagħha ta’ omm iġagħlha tippersisti u tinsisti, ma taqtax qalbha; bħalma, meta xi ħadd qed jitlob pjaċir għal xi ħadd ieħor, b’xi mod tagħmel wiċċek iżjed, għax mhux għalik qed titlob, imma għal uliedek… Read more »
Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
Yesterday we contemplated the Virgin Mary in her unbreakable bond with her Son. Not even death could sever that union of persons in soul and body, which is eternal life. Every Sunday reminds us that the same fulfillment is reserved for those who follow Jesus. His resurrection is not a past event, but new life that draws us in… Read more »
Homily by Pope Leo XIV
Dear brothers and sisters,
It is with great joy that I celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption with you once again this year.
The Magisterium of the Church teaches us that Mary “having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory” (Pius XII, Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus, 1 November 1950) and points out to us, in this Mystery, the fulfillment of the most perfect grace that God bestowed upon her at her Immaculate Conception (cf. ibid.)… Read more »
