Prayer for Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

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

  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 »

Il-messaġġ tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

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: sinodosRead more »

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

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.

Il-mistednin ta’ The Handbook ta’ din il-ġimgħa huma Fr Charles Tabone u Tezara Saliba. The Handbook jixxandar kuljum fuq RTK103 fil-05.30, fis-12:40, fis-19.20 u fid-21.30, kif ukoll fuq Facebook permezz tal-paġna The HandbookRead more »

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.

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 »

“It’s not how much money you have that gives you satisfaction, but how well you use it” – Fr Charles Tabone

Waqt il-programm The Handbook fuq RTK103, Fr Charles Tabone qal li l-iktar li jagħtik sodisfazzjon mhux kemm għandek flus, iżda l-użu tajjeb tagħhom. Huwa tkellem ukoll fuq ir-regħba fejn qal li din qed tmarradna u tkerrhilna pajjiż.

No matter how holy you are, follow Jesus and give glory to God, not humans – The Archbishop

Mass and conferral of the Ministry of Acolyte to a seminarian

  The Chapel at the Archbishop's Seminary, tal-Virtù, Rabat

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Għażiż Andrè, inti u tippreżenta ruħek biex tiġi sistitwit akkolitu, kont tqiegħed it-talba ta’ dan l-agħma minn Ġeriko: Ġesù bin David ikollok ħniena minni (Lq 18: 38). Din it-talba hija talba profonda għaliex l-agħma rrealizza din is-sitwazzjoni radikanti imma fehem ukoll li għandu bżonn il-ħniena t’Alla.

Għalih kienet għażla li jittallab il-karità. Il-karità saret is-sostenn tiegħu u Ġesù  jersaq lejh, hu u riesaq lejn Ġeriko… Read more »
