Befriend – a virtual project between the young and the elderly of Catholic Action Malta

18/06/2020

Din is-sena, li hi d-90 anniversarju tal-Azzjoni Kattolika (AK), intgħażlet it-tema Mela Darba… – li qed tgħin lill-membri tal-AK jirriflettu fuq il-passat tal-għaqda, kif ukoll timmotivahom għall-ħidma preżenti u futura. Din wasslet biex permezz tal-iskema BeActive tal-Aġenzija Żgħażagħ, jiġu organizzati erba’ laqgħat online li laqqgħu numru ta’ żgħażagħ u anzjani, li minkejja huma membri tal-istess organizazzjoni, ftit li xejn ikollhom opportunitajiet fejn jiltaqgħu u jirrelataw b’mod iktar informali u soċjali flimkien… Read more »

Il‑Kummissjoni Interdjoċesana Ambjent (KA) tixtieq turi s‑sodisfazzjon tagħha għad‑deċiżjoni tal‑Awtorità tal‑Ippjanar, li Villa Frere fi Gwardamanġa tingħata l‑ogħla grad ta’ protezzjoni. Daqstant ieħor ta’ min ifaħħar il‑ħruġ ta’ linji gwida bil‑ħsieb li tingħata attenzjoni akbar lill‑binjiet skedati u monumenti, meta jkunu qed jiġu proċessati applikazzjonijiet għal żvilupp qribhom. (Il‑KA tittama biss li l‑ispirtu ta’ dawn il‑linji gwida ma jkunx imminat mill‑membri tal‑kummissjonijiet li jiddeċiedu fuq l‑applikazzjonijiet ta’ żvilupp.) 

Jekk irridu li kull żvilupp li jsir ikun bil‑għaqal u sostenibbli, kif jidher li jixtieq il‑Ministru għall‑Ambjent, it‑Tibdil fil‑Klima u l‑Ippjanar Aaron Farrugia, ma jistax jonqos li jkollna ppjanar aktar intelliġenti milli kellna sa issa, u l‑KA tapprezza r‑rieda tajba ta’ dan il‑ministeru minn dan l-aspett… Read more »

Pope at General Audience: true believers intercede for the world

17/06/2020   The Vatican

Pope Francis began his General Audience on Wednesday by noting that “God never liked to have anything to do with those who prayed the ‘easy’ way”. He used Moses as an example, explaining that he was not a “weak” dialogue partner either, from the very first day of his vocation.

The Pope noted that when God called him, “Moses was in human terms a ‘failure’”… Read more »

Love enables us to choose well in times of trial and repay evil with good – The Archbishop

Mass offered for reconciliation

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Jekk xi ħadd jgħidlek li din hija kelma tqila ħafna, inti tifhem li għandu raġun għaliex dak li qed jitlob minna Ġesù fl-Evanġelju tal-lum minn kapitlu 5 skont San Mattew, hija forsi waħda mill-iżjed affarijiet diffiċli li jitlob minna: l-imħabba tal-għedewwa tagħna.

“Itolbu għal dawk li jippersegwitawkom” (Mt 5:44), għal dawk li jagħmlulkom il-ħsara. Hu juża kelma li forsi fiha ċ-ċavetta biex nifhmu x’qiegħed jitlobna: “Tkunu wlied Missierkom” (Mt 5:45)… Read more »

Pope during Angelus: We receive Jesus so that in Him we might be united, not divided

14/06/2020   The Vatican

Dear Brothers and Sisters, good day!

Today, in Italy and in other nations, the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, Corpus Christi, is celebrated. In the second Reading of today’s liturgy, Saint Paul describes the Eucharistic celebration (see 1 Cor 10:16-17). He highlights two effects of the shared chalice and the broken bread: the mystical effect and the communal effect.

First, the Apostle states that: “The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? … Read more »
