Pope at Angelus: May we never grow weary of fostering peace in all situations

01/11/2026   St Peter's Square, the Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!

The Solemnity of All Saints, which we celebrate today, invites us to share in the joy of that countless family of men and women who, following the Lord Jesus, have made their lives a gift to God and to their neighbors. Along their different paths to holiness, they have longed for “the ocean of infinite love,” to use a beautiful expression of Pope Benedict XVI (Spe Salvi, 12)… Read more »

Pope at Angelus: I have truly felt your support

18/10/2026   St Peter's Square, the Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!

The Gospel proclaimed in today’s liturgy (Mt 22:15-21) presents us with one of Jesus’ best-known sayings: “Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s” (cf. v. 21).  For this reason, it is important to consider these words in the context in which they were originally spoken… Read more »

Pope at Angelus: Saint Francis shows us how to build peace through fraternal love

04/10/2026   St Peter's Square, the Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!

The Gospel parable proclaimed in this Sunday’s Liturgy speaks of Jesus’ life and sheds light on the meaning of his mission (cf. Mt 21:33-43).  He is the Son of God sent into the world, yet he is rejected by the very people who should have welcomed him with open arms.  The One who came to bring salvation is condemned; the One who wishes to give life is put to death… Read more »

There is no fraternity without humility – the Archbishop

Ritratt: Ian Noel Pace – Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

L-antifona għall-quddiesa tal-festa ta’ San Franġisk fil-missal Ruman tgħid hekk: Franġisku raġel ta’ Alla, telaq daru u ċaħad għall-wirt tiegħu, u sar fqir u nieqes minn kollox iżda ħadu miegħu l-Mulej.

Inġbarna hawnhekk bħala familja Franġiskana biex niċċelebraw dan il-mument meta l-Mulej jieħu miegħu lill-qaddej tiegħu Franġisku. Kien it-3 ta’ Ottubru 1226, tmien mitt sena ilu, u Franġisku li ltaqa’ mal-Mulej hu u jikkontempla l-kurċifiss ta’ San Damiano u jisma’ l-vuċi “Ibni l-knisja tiegħi”;  fl-aħħar mumenti ta’ ħajtu, reġa’ lura għall-vokazzjoni primordjali, oriġinali tiegħu… Read more »

Pope at Angelus: God’s plans are infinitely greater than we can imagine

20/09/2026   St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!

In today’s liturgy, through the words of the prophet Isaiah, the Lord gives us great cause for hope, telling us that his thoughts are not our thoughts, that his ways are not our ways (cf. Is 55:8). Yes, God’s plans are infinitely greater — and, let us say, more “human”— than those that we men and women, marked by sin, can conceive or bring to fruition… Read more »

In our relationship with God, let’s approach him with an open heart not a measuring stick – The Archbishop

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

L-Ewwel Qari jippreparana ftit għas-sorpriża ta’ din il-parabbola ta’ Ġesù: “Il-fehmiet tiegħi m’humiex fehmietkom, u t-triqat tiegħi m’humiex triqatkom” (Is 55:8). Donnu l-Mulej qiegħed jgħidilna, nifhem li intom tħobbu tkejlu, b’mod speċjali meta tqabblu lilkom infuskom mal-oħrajn, hija tendenza fina. Imma l-Profeta Isaija, jgħinna nifhmu s-sorpriża tal-istorja tal-Parabbola ta’ Ġesù, billi jinsisti: “daqskemm huma ogħla s-smewwiet mill-art, daqshekk ieħor huma triqati ‘l fuq minn triqatkom, u l-fehmiet tiegħi mill-fehmiet tagħkom” (Is 55:9)… Read more »
