Letter from the Archbishop to Youth

05/12/2011

“Ifirħu dejjem fil-Mulej” Fil 4,4

Ħuti,

Fil-ħajja hemm affarijiet li ma nistgħux nakkwistawhom direttament. Iżda nistgħu nilħquhom billi nqiegħdu il-kundizzjonijiet li jwasslu għalihom. Dan jgħodd pereżempju għall-paċi: ma tistax taħdem għaliha direttament. Trid tagħżilha. U mbagħad tqiegħed il-kundizzjonijiet għaliha. Għalxejn tixtieq il-paċi weħidha. Tista’ tiġi biss jekk tqiegħed il-liberta’, l-imħabba u l-ġustizzja. Meta jkun hemm dawn il-kundizzjonijiet imbagħad li jirriżulta hija l-paċi… Read more »

03/12/2011

“Filwaqt li rrikonoxxa l-ministeru twil u impenjat tiegħu bħala saċerdot u Isqof, kif ukoll id-dedikazzjoni qawwija tiegħu għall-appostolat, anki f’mumenti mill-iktar diffiċli, il-Papa Benedittu XVI jitlob sabiex il-memorja tiegħu tkun ispirazzjoni għall-komunità kollha li hu serva, sabiex jingħex b’iktar entużjażmu l-Vanġelu u l-Aħbar it-Tajba ta’ Ġesù tkun proklamata b’kuraġġ u konvinzjoni.”

02/12/2011

Qed ngħixu fi gżejjer ċkejkna b’densità ta’ popolazzjoni li hi fost l-ogħla fid-dinja u b’limitazzjonijiet kbar ta’ riżorsi naturali. Intant l-imġiba ta’ xi wħud minna, l-argumenti li spiss nisimgħu u l-proġetti li naraw proposti jew imwettqa, spiss jikxfu mentalità li donnha Malta hi xi kontinent bla qies fejn ir-riżorsi naturali u ambjentali huma bla limitu. Forsi ħafna mill-problemi ambjentali li qed nippruvaw negħlbu bħalissa u li qed jipperikolaw l-iżvilupp ekonomiku u soċjali tal-gżejjer tagħna huma frott ta’ din il-mentalità… Read more »
