Omelija tal-Papa Ljun XIV

Għeżież ħuti!

Il-liturġija tal-Ewwel Għasar ta’ Omm Alla hi ta’ għana singulari, li jiġi kemm mill-misteru tal-għaġeb li tiċċelebra, kemm mill-post li għandha proprju fi tmiem is-sena solari. L-antifoni tas-salmi u tal-Magnificat jisħqu fuq il-ġrajja paradossali ta’ Alla li jitwieled minn verġni, jew, jekk ngħiduha bil-maqlub, tal-maternità divina ta’ Marija. U fl-istess waqt din is-solennità, li tagħlaq l-Ottava tal-Milied, tkopri l-passaġġ minn sena għall-oħra u tifrex fuqu l-barka ta’ Dak “li kien, li hu u li ġej” (Apok 1:8)… Read more »

30/12/2025

Waqt il-programm The Handbook fuq RTK103, Fr Chris Ellul semma parir li ngħata meta kien is-seminarju, li meta jmur għall-ikel ma jagħżilx fejn min joqgħod, u jekk dak ta’ quddiemu ma tantx imur tajjeb miegħu, joqgħod jiggosta l-ikel ħalli xorta waħda joħloq klima pożittiva.

Homily of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV

Dear brothers and sisters,

For millennia, across the earth, peoples have gazed up at the sky, giving names to the silent stars, and seeing images therein. In their imaginative yearning, they tried to read the future in the heavens, seeking on high for a truth that was absent below amidst their homes. Yet, as if grasping in the dark, they remained lost, confounded by their own oracles… Read more »

Message by Archbishop Charles Jude Scicluna

On this holy Christmas night, we celebrate the birth of a baby. The eyes of faith teach us that this baby is none other than God made man. God’s love was formed in the womb of a woman, a virgin, Mary of Nazareth, and today we are commemorating the birth of this baby. The author of the letter to the Hebrews tells us that God spoke to his people various times, in many ways, but then, in the fullness of time, he sent his Son (Hebrews 1:1-2)… Read more »
