Pope Francis on Sunday invited young people around the world to perform “gestures of tenderness” toward the elderly, as many are forced into isolation to observe Covid-19 health guidelines.

The Vatican’s Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life quickly answered that call and launched “The elderly are your grandparents” campaign.

Kindness for the elderly

In a communiqué released on Monday, the Dicastery invited young people “to do something that shows kindness and affection for older people who may feel lonely.”

“The pandemic has hit the elderly particularly hard and it has disconnected the already weak links between generations,” reads the statement… Kompli aqra »

Il-Papa Franġisku waqt l-Anġelus  (Vatican Media)

Għeżież ħuti, il-jum it-tajjeb!

L-Evanġelju ta’ dal-Ħadd (cfr Mt 13,44-52) huwa l-aħħar vrus tal-kapitlu li Mattew jiddedika għall-parabboli dwar is-Saltna tas-Smewwiet.  Is-silta fiha tliet parabboli xotti u qosra ħafna: dik tat-teżor moħbi, dik tal-ġawhra prezzjuża u dik tax-xibka li tintefa’ fil-baħar.

Se nieqaf fuq l-ewwel tnejn li fihom is-Saltna tas-Smewwiet hija mqabbla ma’ żewġ realtajiet “prezzjużi”, jiġifieri t-teżor moħbi fl-għalqa u l-ġawhra li tiswa ħafna.  Ir-reazzjoni ta’ dak li jsib il-ġawhra jew it-teżor hi prattikament l-istess: ir-raġel u n-negozjant ibiegħu kollox biex jiksbu dak li issa għandhom l-aktar għal qalbhom.  B’dawn iż-żewġ tixbihat, Ġesù għandu l-għan li jinvolvi lilna fil-bini tas-Saltna tas-Smewwiet billi jippreżentalna karatteristika essenzjali tal-ħajja nisranija, tal-ħajja tas-Saltna tas-Smewwiet: jintrabtu bis-sħiħ  mas-Saltna tas-Sema dawk li lesti jinqatgħu minn kollox, li huma kuraġġużi.  Infatti, kemm ir-raġel kif ukoll in-negozjant taż-żewġ parabboli ibiegħu kull ma għandhom u jinsew għal kollox is-sigurtajiet materjali tagħhom.  Minn hawn nifhmu li l-bini tas-Saltna tas-Smewwiet ma jitlobx biss il-grazzja t’Alla  iżda wkoll id-disponibbiltà attiva tal-bniedem.  Kollox hu grazzja, kollox!  Min-naħa tagħna titlob biss id-disponibbiltà li nirċevuha, mhux li nirreżistu l-grazzja: il-grazzja kollox tagħmel imma hemm bżonn tar-responsabbiltà “tiegħi” u tad-disponibbiltà “tiegħi”… Kompli aqra »
