Homily His Holiness Pope Leo XIV

Dear sisters and brothers,

In the responsorial Psalm, we have sung, “Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord” (cf. Ps 122). Today’s liturgy invites us, therefore, to walk together in praise and joy towards the encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, gentle and humble Sovereign, the One who is the beginning and end of all things… Read more »

Faith is received from a community, from those who believe; it is contagious – The Archbishop

Il-messaġġ tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Xtaqt li llum f’dan il-jum solenni nitolbu t-talba tal-Kredu biex aħna bħala knisja f’Malta nkunu qalb waħda, ħsieb wieħed mal-Papa Ljun XIV li llum nieda Ittra Appostolika mill-isbaħ, sabiħa ħafna. Meditazzjoni fuq il-Kredu li għandna kemm tlabna. Dan il-Kredu, din it-talba, din l-istqarrija tal-fidi għandha storja partikolari, importanti. Din is-sena għalqet 1700 sena. Kien proprju fis-sena 325 meta fil-Konċilju ta’ Nikea, illum fit-Turkija, l-Imperatur Konstantinu mwieżen minn ommu Elena sejjaħ l-isqfijiet ta’ dak iż-żmien biex joħolqu espressjoni ta’ fidi li tkun ta’ għaqda għall-knisja li kienet laċerata minn ħafna firdiet… Read more »

Towards a new pastoral plan for the Church: Communion, Participation, Mission

23/11/2025 St John Hall, Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta laqqgħet l-assemblea djoċesana annwali bit-tema ‘Il-Knisja f’Malta llum: Komunjoni, Parteċipazzjoni, Missjoni’, li hi t-tema tal-Pjan Pastorali ġdid li qed jitħejja biex jitnieda matul is-sena d-dieħla. Dan il-pjan se jkun koordinat mill-Vigarjat Episkopali għall-Koordinament Pastorali.

Fid-diskors tiegħu, l-Arċisqof Charles Scicluna spjega l-viżjoni tal-pjan pastorali li hu bbażat fuq il-kelmiet: ‘komunjoni’, ‘parteċipazzjoni’ u ‘missjoni’ – il-bażi tas-sinodalità. Sostna kemm ta’ kuljum Malta għandha bżonn tiskopri “l-imħabba li tiġi mill-għotja tal-ħajja tagħna lil xulxin u l-ispirtu ta’ servizz” – li hi parti mill-komunjoni li għandna naspiraw għaliha… Read more »

Nerġa’ nirrepeti bħalma għamilt ilbieraħ ir-ringrazzjament u l-gratitudni tiegħi tal-preżenza tagħkom u b’mod speċjali wkoll nirringrazzja lil dawk li qed isegwuna online. L-Assemblea Djoċesana, li ħarġet mill-inizjattiva tal-mibki Monsinjur Mercieca wara s-sinodu Djoċesan, hija esperjenza li ta’ kull sena tfakkarna li aħna rridu nikbru f’familja li nimxu flimkien. Wara kollox l-ispirtu tas-sinodu huwa dan li aħna niskopru lilna nfusna familja li qegħdin fi vjaġġ flimkien: sinodos… Read more »

“Dignity comes from who you are, not what you have” – Fr Charles Tabone

22/11/2025

Waqt il-programm The Handbook fuq RTK103, Fr Charles Tabone qal li t-tfal għandhom dinjità daqs il-bnedmin kollha għax id-dinjità ma tiddependix minn dak li għandek, iżda minn dak li int bħala bniedem.

Watch: Experts warn Malta needs stronger safeguarding systems to protect the vulnerable

On World Children’s Day, experts warn that gaps in awareness, law and vetting still leave vulnerable people at risk.

21/11/2025

Malta’s safeguarding framework is growing more sophisticated — with stronger structures, clearer procedures, and a Church-led commission that now extends support beyond religious settings.

Yet, as experts highlighted on Attwalità on World Children’s Day, the system is still failing the people who need it most: those too afraid, too isolated, or too unaware to seek help.

Legal gaps and limited oversight leave vulnerable people exposed

Mark Pellicano, Head of Malta’s Safeguarding Commission, outlined a stark truth: while the Commission investigates reports, provides victim support, trains organisations, and develops safeguarding policies, it lacks the legal power to protect vulnerable people across all sectors… Read more »
