Our spats and quarrels didn’t go away, but our home became a calmer place.

Imagine the scene: It’s night. I’m writing an article, doing some online shopping, or maybe I’m cooking a pot of soup for another day. It’s so late! I’m tired, and angry that I didn’t have time to do all the things I had planned during the day, at a “normal” time…

Ever since the 5th century the Church has commemorated a separate day in memory of the children killed by King Herod after Jesus’ birth. Matthew is the only one to record the event and the details surrounding it are slim.

Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men…

The XXIV International Eucharistic Congress, held in Malta between the 23rd and 27th April 1913 and presided over by Cardinal Domenici Ferrata, as papal legate on behalf of Pius X, deeply marked the very consciousness of our people. In a period marked by the crusade against modernism, this event celebrated both the orthodox faith of the Maltese as well as their ultramontane devotion to the Apostolic See, by placing it on the international stage…

Pope Francis reaffirmed his commitment to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process on Monday, Christmas Day, 2017, and called for an end to war and injustice everywhere, in the name of Our Lord, “Prince of Peace” and reconciler of humanity to God the Father. The Pope made his remarks ahead of the urbi et orbi benediction – the traditional blessing given “the city and to the world” on Christmas Day and on other special days throughout the year.

“We see Jesus in the children of the Middle East who continue to suffer because of growing tensions between Israelis and Palestinians,” Pope Francis said…

Għal jum il-Milied, il-Kurja tal-Arċisqof inbidlet f’post ta’ wens. Għat-tielet sena konsekuttiva, Caritas Malta, f’isem il-Knisja f’Malta, fetħet idejha għal dawk il-persuni li m’għandhom lil ħadd ma’ min iqattgħu dan iż-żmien ta’ festi u ferħ.

Pope Francis’ encyclical letter, Laudato Si’, published in 2015, was hailed as a heartfelt appeal for the future of planet earth, or, as the pope puts it, a call to all people to take “care of our common home”.

Among the many responses to that call is an initiative by private investors inviting entrepreneurs and start-up companies to develop ideas responding to the challenges spelt out in Laudato Si’…

In his homily at Christmas Mass “During the Night” in St Peter’s Basilica, the Pope reflects on how, with the birth of Jesus, everything becomes a source of hope.

The Christmas story is retold every year with all the places, people and themes we know so well: the stable, the shepherds, the birth. But perhaps the very familiarity of the story can distract us or cause us to forget the messages that lie at its heart…
