Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
After proclaiming the Beatitudes, Jesus addresses those who put them into practice, saying that thanks to them the earth is no longer the same and the world is no longer in darkness. “You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world” (Mt 5:13-14)… Read more »

Homily Pope Leo XIV
Dear brothers and sisters, today, on this Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, the Gospel recounts how Simeon and Anna recognized and proclaimed Jesus as the Messiah in the Temple (cf. Lk 2:22-40). What unfolds before us is a meeting between two movements of love: that of God, who comes to save his people, and that of humanity, which awaits his coming with vigilant faith… Read more »
Message of Pope Leo XIV
Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
Today’s liturgy proclaims a beautiful passage from the Good News that Jesus announces to all humanity: the Gospel of the Beatitudes (Mt 5:1-12).

Ħuti, l-għodwa t-tajba u merħba!
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 »

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 »
