Iċ-ċerimonja ta’ gradwazzjoni ta’ 12-il resident li lestew b’suċċess il-programm ta’ rijabilitazzjoni mid-droga, organizzata minn Caritas Malta u li saret ilbieraħ filgħaxija fiċ-Ċentru Terapewtiku ta’ San Blas f’Ħaż-Żebbuġ. It-tema taċ-ċerimonja ta’ din is-sena kienet: ‘Inħarsu ’l Quddiem’, b’referenza għall-pandemija imma wkoll għall-għanijiet li ta’ kuljum irridu naħdmu għalihom sabiex jagħtu sens lil ħajjitna.
Fil-messaġġ tiegħu, l-Arċisqof Charles Scicluna qal li “waħda milll-affarijiet li tolqotni meta nisma’ l-esperjenzi tar-residenti hawnhekk hija kemm jitkellmu mill-qalb u kemm japprezzaw il-fatt li din il-mixja għallmithom mod ġdid kif jaħsbu u jħobbu”… Read more »

“Il‑ferħ tal‑Knisja hu li tevanġelizza” huwa s‑suġġett li ntagħżel għall‑Aġġornament tal‑Kleru 2022 sabiex is‑saċerdoti djoċesani u reliġjużi jsaħħu l‑mixja flimkien bħala Knisja f’Malta. Dan sar f’rabta mal‑proċess tas‑Sinodu fuq is‑sinodalità li nieda l‑Papa Franġisku sabiex jissaħħaħ is‑sens ta’ komunjoni, parteċipazzjoni u missjoni fil‑Knisja kollha madwar id‑dinja.
Għal dawn it‑tlitt ijiem ta’ aġġornament ġew mistiedna diversi professjonisti li għenu lis‑saċerdoti jirriflettu fuq kif għandna nerġgħu niskopru l‑qalba tal‑fidi tagħna u kif il‑Knisja għandha toħroġ miċ‑ċirku tagħha u ma tibżax taqbad toroq ġodda ta’ kif ixxandar l‑Evanġelju… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Żgur li ħafna minna hawnhekk niftakru l-ġurnata tal-ewwel tqarbina. Jien niftakarha sew, kif konna nġbarna flimkien, numru kbir ta’ tfal, u mxejna mill-Museum sal-Knisja. Niftakar il-preparazzjoni għal dan il-jum kbir, u speċjalment il-ferħ li ħassejt, u miegħi l-familja kollha. Jien ċert li din hi l-esperjenza ta’ ħafna minna hawnhekk fl-ewwel tqarbina.
Nixtieqkom tirriflettu dwar dan: x’differenza hemm bejn l-ewwel tqarbina, għal ħafna minna tant snin ilu, u t-tqarbina tal-lum f’din il-quddiesa? … Read more »
