L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Fl-Evanġelju tal-lum skont San Ġwann, fis-sitt Ħadd tal-Għid, nisimgħu espressjoni sabiħa: “Ibqgħu fl-imħabba tiegħi” (Ġw15:9). Kemm hi  stedina sabiħa din li għamel Ġesù.

L-ewwel nett jassikura li l-inizjattiva ġejja minnu, u dil-ħaġa hemm bżonn niftakruha. Wara kollox qed niċċelebraw staġun ta’ ferħ, li jitwieled fil-ġimgħa l-Kbira u fl-Għid il-Kbir. “Kif ħabbni Missieri hekk ħabbejtkom jiena” (Ġw15:9).

Ġesù qed jgħidilna ċar u tond li jekk hemm xi kelma fil-Vanġelu li hemm bżonn niftakruha hija din il-kelma: “Kif ħabbni Missieri hekk ħabbejtkom jien” (Ġw15:9) … Read more »

No other city has this much soul

Article written by Fr Mario Attard OFM Cap

Dan l-aħħar kelli grazzja kbira li nkun Praga. Mort għax-xogħol tat-tmintax-il konsultazzjoni tal-Kappillani Ewropej. It-tema ta’ din il-konferenza kienet tabilħaqq attwalissma: “Tkun Kappillan fl-Isptar: Tibqa’ preżenti u attiv/a f’dinja fraġli”. 

Jekk il-ħajja stess saret sptar, għax il-fraġilità u l-vulnerabilità jinstabu kullimkien, allura kull sitwazzjoni titlob dik il-kompassjoni ta’ Kristu. Wara kollox, jekk ma nurux ħniena ma’ xulxin billi nisimgħu naqra d-dwejjaq ta’ xulxin, għiduli intom x’ħajja nkunu qed ngħixu? … Read more »

Parish priests meet to share experiences of synodality

Some three hundred parish priests from around the world have gathered in Sacrofano, outside of Rome, for a meeting dedicated to listening, prayer, and discernment to address the question of how to be a local synodal Church on mission.

The five-day gathering will feature five days of discussions, culminating in an Audience with Pope Francis on Thursday.

Organized by the General Secretariat of the Synod and the Dicastery for the Clergy, in collaboration with the Dicasteries for Evangelization and for the Oriental Churches, the International Meeting is aimed at “listening to and valuing the experience parish priests live in their respective local Churches” and offering them the opportunity “to experience the dynamism of synodal work at a universal level.”

The Meeting comes in response to the desire expressed by the Synod Fathers to “develop ways for a more active involvement of deacons, priests, and bishops in the synodal process,” following criticism that parish priests were notably absent from the General Assembly… Read more »
