Church Authorities in adherence to agreements reached with the Malta Union of Teachers
The Secretariat for Catholic Education would like to clarify that the Collective Agreement to which the Church Authorities and the Malta Union of Teachers are parties, whilst providing for the right of appeal in the process for the Selection of Heads of Schools, does not contemplate such right of appeal in calls for other posts. The fact that the Collective Agreement does not contemplate this right of appeal is not the result of any unilateral action on the part of the Church Authorities; it is the result of an agreement freely entered into between the Church Authorities and the Malta Union of Teachers…

Il-Vanġelu tal-jum – 6 ta’ Settembru
Luqa 5, 33-39

Id-dixxipli tiegħu qalulu: “Id-dixxipli ta’ Ġwanni sikwit isumu u joqogħdu jitolbu, u dawk tal-Fariżej ukoll, imma tiegħek jieklu u jixorbu!” U Ġesù qalilhom: “Jaqaw tistgħu ġġagħlu lill-ħbieb ta’ l-għarus isumu sakemm l-għarus ikun għadu magħhom? …

Il-Vanġelu tal-jum – 5 ta’ Settembru
Luqa 5, 1-11

Darba l-kotra bdiet tross fuqu biex tisma’ l-kelma ta’ Alla. Hu kien qiegħed f’xatt l-għadira ta’ Ġennesaret. U ra żewġ dgħajjes qegħdin max-xatt; is-sajjieda kienu niżlu minn fuqhom u kienu qegħdin jaħslu x-xbiek. Tela’ fuq waħda minnhom, li kienet ta’ Xmun, u talbu jaqla’ kemmxejn ‘il barra mill-art; mbagħad qagħad bilqiegħda u beda jgħallem lin-nies mid-dgħajsa…

Għalfejn insumu?
Il-Papa Franġisku għamel sejħa għall-Paċi fis-Sirja, u ħabbar ġurnata ta’ sawm u talb nhar is-7 ta’ Settembru. Imma għalfejn għandna nsumu?

“Why do your disciples not fast?” Jesus answered: “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast” (Mt 9:15)

Fasting, to which I intend to draw your attention briefly today, is the second element necessary for the spring of the spirit…

Il-Vanġelu tal-jum – 4 ta’ Settembru
Luqa 4, 38-44

Ġesù qam u telaq mis-sinagoga, u daħal għand Xmun. Issa omm il-mara ta’ Xmun kellha fuqha deni qawwi, u talbuh jgħinha. Resaq fuqha, ordna lid-deni, u d-deni ħallieha. U minnufih qamet u bdiet isservihom…

F’Għaqda mal-Papa nitolbu għall-Paċi
Ilkoll smajna bit-talba mqanqla li għamel il-Papa Franġisku, nhar il-Ħadd l-1 ta’ Settembru 2013 fit-talba tal-Angelus, dwar il-bżonn li nħarsu l-paċi fid-dinja u l-aktar minħabba s-sitwazzjoni fis-Sirja.

F’din l-istess talba l-Papa ddikjara li nhar is-Sibt 7 ta’ Settembru, lejlet il-Festa tat-twelid ta’ Marija, Omm il-Paċi, tkun ġurnata ta’ sawm u talb għall-paċi fis-Sirja, fil-Lvant Nofsani u fid-dinja kollha…

L-Effett tal-Papa Franġisku fl-Ingilterra u Wales
The Sunday about evangelisation, the so-called “Home mission Sunday” due to be celebrated in the English parishes on September 15th, is drawing nearer, and the Church of England and Wales have reasons for celebrating.

A survey conducted on 22 cathedrals in England and Wales, has given hope to the country. Because of Benedict XVI’s visit in September 2010 and Pope Francis’ coming, the number of Catholics who have gone back to Confession and Mass, has increased…

Il-Vanġelu tat-3 ta’ Settembru
Luqa 4, 31-37

Niżel Kafarnahum, belt tal-Galilija, u f’jum is-Sibt qagħad jgħallem lin-nies, li baqgħu mistagħġba bil-mod tat-tagħlim tiegħu, għax id-diskors tiegħu kien ta’ wieħed li għandu s-setgħa. U kien hemm raġel fis-sinagoga li kellu fih spirtu ta’ xitan imniġġes, u qabad jgħajjat b’leħen għoli: “Ah! x’għandna x’naqsmu, Ġesù ta’ Nazaret? Ġejt biex teqridna? Jiena naf min int: il-Qaddis ta’ Alla!” Imma Ġesù widdbu bis-sħiħ u qallu: “Iskot, u oħroġ minnu!” Mbagħad l-ispirtu xeħtu fin-nofs u ħareġ minnu bla ma għamillu ħsara…
