Pope at Audience: The Church is the community of saved sinners

  The Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

In recent weeks we have been able to deepen our understanding of the figure of Saint Joseph, guided by the few but important pieces of information given in the Gospels, and also by the aspects of his personality that the Church over the centuries has been able to highlight through prayer and devotion. Starting precisely from this sentire commune (“common feeling”) of the Church that has accompanied the figure of St Joseph, today I would like to focus on an important article of faith that can enrich our Christian life and also shape our relationship with the saints and with our deceased loved ones in the best possible way: I am talking about the communion of saintsRead more »

The Church must not keep its mouth shut despite not always succeeding in doing Jesus’ will – The Archbishop

Mass on the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

  Salesians of Don Bosco Oratory Chapel, Tas-Sliema

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dis-silta mill-Evanġelju ta’ San Luqa f’kapitlu 4 tibda b’sens kbir ta’ ammirazzjoni għal Ġesù: “Ilkoll laqgħu kliemu u stagħġbu għall-kliem mimli ħlewwa li kien ħiereġ minn fommu” (Lq 4:22). Imma d-diska malajr tinbidel għax lejn tmiem is-silta din l-ammirazzjoni tinbidel f’korla: “Meta semgħu dan fis-sinagoga kulħadd imtela bil-korla; qamu, u ħarġuh ’il barra mill-belt u ħaduh fuq xifer ta’ rdum tal-għolja li fuqha kienet mibnija u riedu jixħtuh minn fuq għal isfel” (Lq 4:28-29)… Read more »

22 entità tal‑Knisja, li jaħdmu mill‑qrib mal‑persuni l‑aktar fil‑bżonn u vulnerabbli fis‑soċjetà, huma mħassba biż‑żieda fil‑prezzijiet ta’ bżonnijiet bażiċi speċjalment dawk tal‑ikel. Huma qed jappellaw lill‑mexxejja u l-istituzzjonijiet tal‑pajjiż sabiex ikomplu jagħtu prijorità lil dawn il‑persuni fil‑bżonn u jieħdu azzjoni biex iż‑żieda fil‑prezzijiet ma tagħmilx is‑sitwazzjoni tal‑faqar tagħhom f’Malta agħar milli hi. Dan hekk kif jirriżulta li ħafna mill‑prodotti bażiċi bħalma huma l‑għaġin, iz‑zalza u ż‑żejt għolew b’minn talanqas 20%… Read more »
