Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
The parable in today’s Gospel tells us about the patience of God, who urges us to make our life a time of conversion. Jesus uses the image of a barren fig tree, which has not borne the anticipated fruit and which, nevertheless, the farmer does not want to cut down: he wants to fertilize it again since “it may bear fruit in the future” (Lk 13:9)… Kompli aqra »
Pope Francis in the private chapel on the 10th floor of Rome’s Gemelli Hospital (@salastampaVaticana)
Waqt id-diskors tiegħu ta’ kull nhar ta’ Ħadd għall-Angelus, il-Papa Franġisku rrifletta fuq il-misteru tat-Trasfigurazzjoni, u enfasizza kif Ġesù, permezz tat-talb, “jgħaddas lilu nnifsu u jsir radjanti bid-dawl.”
Il-qdusija tiegħu spjega li dan il-mument juri lid-dixxipli “dak li hu moħbi wara l-ġesti li jagħmel f’nofshom: id-dawl tal-imħabba infinita Tiegħu”… Kompli aqra »
Fit-test tiegħu mħejji għall-Angelus tal-Ħadd, il-Papa Franġisku qed jistieden lil kulħadd biex jieħdu ħsieb dawk li huma morda u jitolbu għal ħafna nies li qed ibatu minħabba kunflitti vjolenti.
Hekk kif jinsab jirkupra minn pulmonite doppja fl-isptar Gemelli ta’ Ruma, il-Papa Franġisku ħareġ test imħejji għat-talb tal-Ħadd Angelus, li ġie ppubblikat mill-Uffiċċju Stampa tas-Santa Sede.
Huwa fakkar fil-vjaġġ tar-Randan tal-Knisja lejn l-Għid, u stieden lill-insara biex jagħmlu “żmien ta’ purifikazzjoni u tiġdid spiritwali, tkabbir fil-fidi, it-tama, u l-karità.”
Il-Papa qal li qed jaħseb b’mod speċjali fil-ħafna nies li jieħdu ħsieb dawk li huma morda, u qal li jirrappreżentaw sinjal tal-preżenza tal-Mulej għal dawk taħt il-kura tagħhom… Kompli aqra »

Brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
This morning, in Saint Peter’s Basilica, the celebration of the Eucharist with the Ordination of some candidates to the diaconate was celebrated. I greet them and the participants in the Jubilee of Deacons, which has taken place in the Vatican in these days; and I thank the Dicasteries for the Clergy and for Evangelization for the preparation of this event… Kompli aqra »
Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
Today the Gospel of the liturgy (Lk 2:22-40) tells us about Mary and Joseph who take the infant Jesus to the Temple of Jerusalem. In accordance with the Law, they present Him in God’s dwelling, to recall that life comes from the Lord. And while the Holy Family carries out what was always done among the people of Israel, from generation to generation, something happens that had never occurred before… Kompli aqra »
Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
This Sunday, the Evangelist Luke presents Jesus to us in the synagogue in Nazareth, the town where He grew up. He reads the passage from the prophet Isaiah announcing the Messiah’s evangelizing and liberating mission. He then says, in the general silence: ‘Today this Scripture has been fulfilled’ (cf. Lk 4:21).
Let us Imagine the surprise and dismay of Jesus’ fellow citizens, who knew Him as the carpenter Joseph’s son and would never have imagined that He could present himself as the Messiah… Kompli aqra »
Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday!
The feast of the Baptism of Jesus, which we celebrate today, makes us think of many things, including our own Baptism. Jesus joins His people, who are going to receive baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I like to recall the words of a hymn of today’s liturgy: Jesus goes to be baptized by John, “with a bare soul and bare feet”… Kompli aqra »
Dear brothers and sisters, happy Feast of the Epiphany!
Today the Church celebrates the manifestation of Jesus, and the Gospel concentrates on the Magi, who at the end of a long journey reach Jerusalem to adore Jesus.
If we look closely, we will discover something a bit stranger: while these wise men from far away come to find Jesus, those who were close by do not take one step towards the grotto in Bethlehem… Kompli aqra »
Għeżież ħuti, il-Ħadd it-tajjeb!
Nifirħilkom, intom kuraġġużi, b’dix-xita kollha! Il-Ħadd it-tajjeb!
Illum, l-Evanġelju (cfr Ġw 1,1-18), qed ikellimna dwar Ġesù, il-Verb magħmul bniedem, u qed jgħidilna li “d-dawl jiddi fid-dlam, imma d-dlam ma għelbux” (Ġw 1,5). Ifisser li qed ifakkarna kemm hi bla qies l-imħabba t’Alla li ma jħalli xejn jegħlbu u li lil hinn mill-ostakli u ċ-ċaħdiet, jibqa’ jiddi u jdawwal il-mixja tagħna… Kompli aqra »
Il-Papa Franġisku talab għal familji madwar id-dinja li qed isofru minħabba mwiet ikkawżati mill-gwerer.
Waqt l-indirizz tiegħu fil-Festa tal-Familja Mqaddsa, il-Papa sellem lill-familji miġbura fi Pjazza San Pietru fil-Vatikan, u lil dawk li kienu qed isegwuha permezz tal-midja.
Huwa sostna li ħsibijietu jinsabu ma’ familji fil-Korea t’Isfel li qed jibki it-telfa tal-għeżież tagħhom wara li ġġaraf ajrupan waqt inżul ta’ emerġenza nhar il-Ħadd li għadda… Kompli aqra »
