Għeżież, “araw b’liema għożża ħabbna l-Missier; nistgħu nissejħu wlied Alla, u hekk aħna tassew” (1 Ġw 3:1). Din il-kelma tal-Appostlu San Ġwann, fl-ewwel ittra  tiegħu, tkun ta’ kuraġġ għalina, aħna u nibdew il-Ġublew Imqaddes tas-sena 2025. Ġublew, li l-Papa jixtieqna li fih nikbru bħala pellegrini ta’ tama. Il-pellegrin hu bniedem f’mixja; il-pellegrin ta’ tama jaf li hemm wegħda, kelma, li mhux se tonqos, u li mhux se tqarraq bih… Kompli aqra »

Insejsu l-familji tagħna fuq il-fiduċja – L-Arċisqof

Quddiesa fil-festa tal-Familja Mqaddsa ta’ Ġesù, Marija u Ġużeppi

  Il-Bażilika Minuri ta’ San Pawl, ir-Rabat

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Din il-festa tal-familja Mqaddsa, din is-sena, is-silta minn San Luqa toħodna meta l-Mulej kellu 12-il sena. Tifel Lhudi ta’ 12-il sena kien jitqies tifel adult u kien jibda jissejjaħ Bin il-Patt (Bar Mitzvah) u allura seta’ jaqra fis-sinagoga, seta’ jistaqsi l-mistoqsijiet, jidħol fid-djalogu mal-għorrief fis-sinagoga.

Ġesù jmur mal-ġenituri f’Ġerusalemm għall-festa tal-Għid u ta’ 12-il sena jibda jieħu sehem fil-ħajja tas-sinagoga bħal wieħed adult… Kompli aqra »

Insiru pellegrini tat-tama

Pope Francis made a profoundly symbolic gesture on Christmas Eve when he eased open the Holy Door of St Peter’s Basilica, and declared that it will remain open for the special Jubilee Year 2025 during which the faithful are encouraged to make pilgrimages to Rome. 

The aim of the Jubilee, the Holy Father said, is “to bring hope to the interminable, dreary days of prisoners, to the cold and dismal lodgings of the poor, and to all those places desecrated by war and violence”… Kompli aqra »

In an audio message broadcast today by the BBC as the “Thought for the Day,” Pope Francis urges us not to look at the future “with pessimism and resignation,” but to always choose the path of love and view the world with “the gentle gaze of hope”.

“I hope that during this Jubilee, we practice kindness as a form of love to connect with others,” says Pope Francis in a message offered to the BBC’s “Thought for the Day.”

In his message, the Holy Father highlights the importance of hope and kindness, which he says “touch the very heart of the Gospel and show us the path to follow in our behaviour.”

A world full of hope and kindness, he says, “is a more beautiful world” while “a society that looks to the future with confidence and treats people with respect and empathy is more humane.”

‘We can choose love’

Pope Francis notes that the Jubilee Year, which began on Christmas Eve, calls us to be pilgrims of hope, and he encourages everyone to choose love in a world beset with wars, social injustices, and various forms of violence… Kompli aqra »

Il-Papa fl-Anġelus: Alla jaħfer dejjem

  Pjazza San Pietru, il-Vatikan

Dear brothers and sisters, happy feast day! Happy feast day to everyone.

Today, immediately after Christmas, the liturgy celebrates Saint Stephen, the first martyr. The account of his stoning is found in the Acts of the Apostles (cf. 6:8-12; 7:54-60) and presents it to us while, dying, he prays for his killers. And this gives us pause for thought: in fact, even though at first sight Stephen seems to be helplessly suffering violence, in reality, as a truly free man, he continues to love even his killers and to offer his life for them, like Jesus (cf. Jn 10:17-18; Lk 23:34); he offers his life so that they may repent and, having been forgiven, be given eternal life… Kompli aqra »
