Issa li ntemm l-ewwel Konċistorju straordinarju tal-Papa Ljun, diġà ngħata appuntament għat-tieni wieħed: jumejn f’Ġunju, mas-Solennità ta’ San Pietru u San Pawl.

Kien il-Papa nnifsu li ħabbar din it-tieni laqgħa għas-sajf fid-diskors tal-għeluq tiegħu waqt it-tielet u l-aħħar sessjoni tal-Konċistorju, li ġemgħet flimkien 170 Kardinal, eletturi u mhumiex.

Waqt li fisser li din il-laqgħa ta’ jumejn kienet “f’kontinwità” ma’ dak li ġie mitlub mill-kongregazzjonijiet ġenerali ta’ qabel il-Konklavi, il-Papa Ljun esprima wkoll ix-xewqa tiegħu li jkompli jlaqqa’ Konċistorji kull sena, li jkunu ta’ tlett ijiem jew erbgħa… Read more »

Konċistorju Straordinarju

Fost 170 kardinal miġburin fil-Vatikan, il-Papa Ljun XIV saħaq li dan il-konċistorju straordinarju se jservi biex ikun jista’ jisma’.

Il-konċistorju straordinarju sejjaħ lill-kardinali kollha minn madwar id-dinja, li ħafna minnhom ħadu sehem fir-rit tal-għeluq tal-Bieb Imqaddes u l-Quddiesa tal-Epifanija, sabiex jingħaqdu mal-Papa sabiex jiddiskutu temi importanti relatati.

Wara li ntalbet it-talba tal-Veni Cretaor Spiritus fis-Sala tas-Sinodu, il-kardinali flimkien mal-Kap Pontifiċju pproċedew għall-format sinodali tal-imwejjed tondi fl-Awla Pawlu VI… Read more »

Pope at Audience: Second Vatican Council still guiding star of Church’s journey

  Awla Pawlu VI, il-Vatikan

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 »

Pope at Epiphany Mass – Let us ask ourselves: is there life in our Church, space for something new to be born?

Homily of Pope Leo XIV

Dear brothers and sisters,

The Gospel (cf. Mt 2:1-12) described for us the great joy the Magi experienced when they saw the star once again (cf. v. 10), and at the same time how Herod and all in Jerusalem were troubled by their searching (cf. v. 3). Indeed, every time Sacred Scripture speaks of God manifesting himself, it does not hide the contrasting reactions, such as joy and agitation, resistance and obedience, fear and longing… Read more »

Omelija tal-Papa Ljun XIV

Għeżież ħuti!

Il-liturġija tal-Ewwel Għasar ta’ Omm Alla hi ta’ għana singulari, li jiġi kemm mill-misteru tal-għaġeb li tiċċelebra, kemm mill-post li għandha proprju fi tmiem is-sena solari. L-antifoni tas-salmi u tal-Magnificat jisħqu fuq il-ġrajja paradossali ta’ Alla li jitwieled minn verġni, jew, jekk ngħiduha bil-maqlub, tal-maternità divina ta’ Marija. U fl-istess waqt din is-solennità, li tagħlaq l-Ottava tal-Milied, tkopri l-passaġġ minn sena għall-oħra u tifrex fuqu l-barka ta’ Dak “li kien, li hu u li ġej” (Apok 1:8)… Read more »

Homily of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV

Dear brothers and sisters,

For millennia, across the earth, peoples have gazed up at the sky, giving names to the silent stars, and seeing images therein. In their imaginative yearning, they tried to read the future in the heavens, seeking on high for a truth that was absent below amidst their homes. Yet, as if grasping in the dark, they remained lost, confounded by their own oracles… Read more »

The Pope at Angelus: May all children of the world live in peace

Fourth Sunday of Advent

  St Peter's Square, the Vatican

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 »
