Regina Caeli, Pentecoste Sunday

24/05/2026   St Peter's Square, the Vatican

Għeżież ħuti, il-Ħadd it-tajjeb!

F’dis-Solennità ta’ Pentekoste għandna sejħa biex nikkuntemplaw id-don tal-Ispirtu s-Santu msawwab b’abbundanza fuq il-Knisja bikrija u, illum, irregalat mill-ġdid lill-membri tagħha bħala dawl u qawwa li jakkupanjawhom f’kull sitwazzjoni tal-ħajja.

Nistgħu nieqfu fuq aspett tal-immaġni tal-Ispirtu li ttina l-Liturġija tal-lum: L-Ispirtu jiftaħ il-bibien.  Infatti, l-Evanġelju jgħidilna: “id-dixxipli kienu flimkien imbeżżgħa mil-Lhud, bil-bibien magħluqa (Ġw 20,19) u fl-istess ħin, il-Ktieb tal-Atti tal-Appostli jirrakkuntalna li l-Ispirtu wasal bħala riħ qawwi (Atti 2,2), li fetaħ dawk il-bibien, xpruna lid-dixxipli biex joħorġu u jibdew ixandru l-Aħbar it-Tajba ta’ Kristu Rxoxt… Read more »

Dear brothers and sisters,

Our faces and voices are unique, distinctive features of every person; they reveal a person’s own unrepeatable identity and are the defining elements of every encounter with others. The ancients understood this well. To define the human person, the ancient Greeks used the word “face” (prósōpon), because it expresses etymologically what is before one’s gaze, the place of presence and relationship… Read more »

The Pope: It is Jesus’ love that begets love within us

10/05/2026   St Peter's Square, the Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!

In today’s Gospel, we hear some of the words Jesus addressed to his disciples during the Last Supper.  As he turns the bread and wine into a living expression of his love, Christ says: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (Jn 14:15).  This statement frees us from the misconception that we are loved because we keep the commandments, as if our righteousness were a prerequisite for God’s love… Read more »

Mons. Scicluna semma kif il-karatteristiċi tal-Papa fosthom il-qalb missjunarja tiegħu jkomplu jagħnu l-Knisja, partikolarment bl-esperjenza tiegħu fil-Perù, fejn il-Papa serva bħala patri Agostinjan missjunarju kif ukoll bħala Isqof ta’ Chiclayo.
