L-omelija tal-Papa Ljun XIV

“Inti Pietru, u fuq din il-blata jiena nibni l-Knisja tiegħi” (Mt 16:18). Għeżież ħuti, smajna dawn il-kelmiet ta’ Ġesù aħna u nfakkru l-125 anniversarju mid-Dedikazzjoni ta’ din il-knisja, li tant xtaqha l-Papa Ljun XIII, u ppromova l-bini tagħha.

Fil-ħsieb tiegħu, din il-binja, flimkien ma’ dik tal-Kulleġġ internazzjonali li hemm magħha, kellha tikkontribwixxi biex tissaħħaħ il-preżenza Benedittina fil-Knisja u fid-dinja, permezz ta’ għaqda dejjem ikbar fi ħdan il-Konfederazzjoni Benedittina, għan li għalih ġie introdott ukoll l-Uffiċċju tal-Abbati Primat… Read more »

Newman’s impressive spiritual and cultural stature will surely serve as an inspiration to new generations whose hearts thirst for the infinite, and who, through research and knowledge, are willing to undertake that journey which, as the ancients said, takes us per aspera ad astra, through difficulties to the stars… Read more »
