11/12/2024   Pjazza San Pietru, il-Vatikan

Għeżież ħuti, l-għodwa t-tajba!

Wasalna fi tmiem il-katekeżijiet tagħna fuq l-Ispirtu s-Santu u l-Knisja. Niddedikaw din l-aħħar riflessjoni lit-titlu li tajna lis-serje kollha, jiġifieri: “L-Ispirtu u l-Għarusa. L-Ispirtu s-Santu jmexxi l-poplu ta’ Alla għal-laqgħa ma’ Ġesù t-tama tagħna”. Dan it-titlu jirriferi għal wieħed mill-aħħar versetti tal-Bibbja, fil-Ktieb tal-Apokalissi, li jgħid: “L-Ispirtu u l-għarusa jgħidu: ‘Ejja!’” (Apok 22:17)… Kompli aqra »

Il-Papa: Qiegħed it-tama tiegħek fil-ħniena infinita ta’ Alla

08/12/2024   Pjazza San Pietru, il-Vatikan

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning and happy feast day!

Today, on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, the Gospel tells us about one of the most important, most beautiful moments in the history of humanity: the Annunciation (cf. Lk 26-38), when Mary’s “yes” to the Archangel Gabriel permitted the Incarnation of the Son of God, Jesus. It is a scene that inspires the greatest wonder and emotion because God, the Most High, the Omnipotent, by means of the Angel converses with a young girl from Nazareth, asking for her collaboration for His plan of salvation… Kompli aqra »

Il-Papa fl-Udjenza: L-omeliji għandhom jgħaddu l-messaġġ f’inqas minn 10 minuti

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

After having reflected on the sanctifying and charismatic action of the Spirit, we will dedicate this catechesis to another aspect: the evangelizing work of the Holy Spirit, that is, on the role of preaching in the Church.

The First Letter of Peter defines the apostles as “those who preached the good news to you [through] the holy Spirit” (cf… Kompli aqra »

Il-Papa fl-Anġelus: Ishru u dawru ħarsitkom lejn is-sema

01/12/2024   Pjazza San Pietru, il-Vatikan

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!

The Gospel of today’s liturgy (Lk 21:25-28, 34-36), first Sunday of Advent, speaks to us about cosmic upheavals and anxiety and fear in humanity. In this context, Jesus addresses a word of hope to His disciples: “Stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand” (v. 28). The Master’s concern is that their hearts do not grow drowsy (cf… Kompli aqra »

Il-Papa fl-Udjenza: Jalla x-xhieda għall-“ferħ tal-Vanġelu” ġġib il-paċi u t-tama

27/11/2024   Pjazza San Pietru, il-Vatikan

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

After speaking about sanctifying grace and charisms, today I would like to take a look at a third reality linked to the action of the Holy Spirit: the “fruits of the Spirit”. Saint Paul offers a list of them in the Letter to the Galatians. He writes: “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (5:22)… Kompli aqra »

Il-Papa fl-Anġelus: Meta nisimgħu lill-Mulej, idawwal qalbna u ħajjitna

24/11/2024   Pjazza San Pietru, il-Vatikan

Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!

Today the Gospel of the liturgy (Jn 18:33-37) shows us Jesus before Pontius Pilate. He has been handed over to the Roman procurator to be condemned to death. However, a brief dialogue begins between the two, between Jesus and Pilate. Through Pilate’s questions and the Lord’s answers, two words in particular are transformed, acquiring new meaning… Kompli aqra »

20/11/2024   Pjazza San Pietru, il-Vatikan

Ċiklu ta’ Katekeżijiet. L-Ispirtu u l-Għarusa. L-Ispirtu s-Santu jmexxi l-poplu ta’ Alla għal-laqgħa ma’ Ġesù t-tama tagħna. 14. Id-doni tal-Għarusa. Il-kariżmi, doni tal-Ispirtu għall-ġid ta’ kulħadd

Għeżież ħuti, l-għodwa t-tajba!

Fl-aħħar tliet katekeżijiet tkellimna fuq il-ħidma tal-Ispirtu s-Santu li jqaddes u li titwettaq fis-sagramenti, fit-talb u billi nimxu fuq l-eżempju tal-Omm ta’ Alla. Imma nisimgħu x’jgħid test famuż tal-Konċilju Vatikan II: “L-Ispirtu s-Santu mhux biss iqaddes u jmexxi l-poplu ta’ Alla bis-sagramenti u l-ministeri u jżejnu bil-virtujiet, iżda jqassam ukoll id-doni tiegħu ‘lil kull wieħed kif jogħġbu’ (1 Kor 12:11)” (Lumen gentium, 12)… Kompli aqra »
