Wara s-Sena Ġubilari, li matulha waqafna fuq il-misteri tal-ħajja ta’ Ġesù, qed nibdew ċiklu ġdid ta’ katekeżijiet li se jkun iddedikat lill-Konċilju Vatikan II u lill-qari mill-ġdid tad-Dokumenti tiegħu. Hija okkażjoni prezzjuża biex niskopru mill-ġdid il-ġmiel u l-importanza ta’ din il-ġrajja ekkleżjali. San Ġwanni Pawlu II, fi tmiem il-Ġublew tas-sena 2000, afferma hekk: “Inħoss iktar minn qatt qabel id-dmir li nindika l-Konċilju, bħala l-grazzja kbira li l-Knisja gawdiet minnha fis-seklu 20” (Ittra appostolika Novo millennio ineunte, 57)… Read more »
Message of Pope Leo XIV
Dear brothers and sisters, good afternoon!
Today, on the fourth Sunday of Advent, the liturgy invites us to meditate on the figure of Saint Joseph. In particular, we see him at the moment when God reveals his mission in a dream (cf. Mt 1:18-24). Thus, a very beautiful episode of salvation history is presented, in which the protagonist, like us, is a fragile and fallible man, yet at the same time is courageous and strong in faith… Read more »

Prayer of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Mary
Sliema għalik, o Marija!
Ifraħ, mimlija bil-grazzja,
b’dik il-grazzja li, bħal dawl ħelu, iddawwal

Message by Pope Leo XIV
Dear brothers and sisters, good morning and welcome!
The Pasch of Christ illuminates the mystery of life and allows us to look at it with hope. This is not always easy or obvious. Many lives, in every part of the world, appear laborious, painful, filled with problems and obstacles to be overcome. Yet human beings receive life as a gift: they do not ask for it, they do not choose it, they experience it in its mystery from the first to the last day… Read more »
