THE CHURCH TEACHES ABOUT THE FAMILY EVEN IF IT SUFFERS

14/05/2011

Il-Knisja se tkompli twassal messaġġ favur żwieġ stabbli u għalhekk anki kontra d-divorzju u tħeġġeġ lill-Insara jinvolvu ruħhom b’mod attiv fil-ħajja soċjali u politika, u dan minkejja li jkollha tbati minħabba f’hekk.

Din kienet, f’sinteżi, it-tema ta’ messaġġ li ta’ l-Arċisqof Pawl Cremona OP waqt laqgħa maċ-chairperson u r-rappreżentanti tal-Moviment Żwieġ Bla Divorzju, fir-residenża tiegħu Ħ’Attard.

Fil-messaġġ tiegħu l-Arċisqof saħaq li li l-Knisja f’Malta, l-istess kif għamlet f’pajjiżi oħra, trid tkompli twassal it-tagħlim kollu ta’ Kristu dwar iż-żwieġ stabbli u fl-istess ħin tkompli ddawwal lil dawk li jemmnu fih biex iwettquh… Read more »

12/05/2011

Benedict XVI is urging the faithful to spend more time in prayer, which he called an expression of man’s profound need for meaning and understanding.

“Dear brothers and sisters,” the Pope appealed at the end of today’s general audience, “let us learn to spend more time before God.”

“Let us learn to recognize in silence the God who has revealed himself in Jesus Christ,” he continued, “to recognize in the depth of ourselves his voice that calls us and leads us back to the profundity of our existence, to the fount of life, to the source of salvation, to make us go beyond the limits of our life and to open ourselves to the measure of God, to the relationship with Him who is Infinite Love.”
