Dibattitu dwar il-kannabis għall-użu ‘rikreattiv’

Caritas Malta, l-Aġenzija Sedqa, il-Fondazzjoni Oasi u l-Assoċjazzjoni tal-Psikjatrija f’Malta jinsabu fi qbil li:

  1. Hemm bżonn iktar sensibilità lejn persuni li jużaw il-kannabis.
  2. Il-liġi tal-2015 – Rijabilitazzjoni u mhux Priġunerija – kienet liġi effettiva u pass ’il quddiem biex persuni li jinqabdu bi kwantitajiet żgħar għall-użu personali jiġu dekriminalizzati u depenalizzati.
  3. Liġi dwar il-kannabis mediċinali kellha passi ’l quddiem peress li l-kannabis għandha propjetajiet mediċi u li meta jiġu użati abbażi ta’ riċerka, ikunu ta’ benefiċċju għall-pazjent…

Il-Papa jitlob għall-artisti biex ikunu jistgħu jgħinu bil-kreattività tagħhom f’dan iż-żmien diffiċli

27/04/2020

Pope Francis introduced morning Mass on Monday of the Third Week of Easter, with special thoughts for artists.

“Let us pray today for artists, for those who have this great capacity for creativity,” and for showing us the way to beauty. He continued: “May the Lord give us all the grace of creativity at this time.”

He then reflected on the Gospel reading of the day (Jn 6:22-29) in which Jesus redirects the crowd for seeking Him after the multiplication of the loaves and fishes only because their stomachs had been filled by exhorting them “not to work for food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life.”

Being good people, the Pope said, they asked him how to accomplish this and Jesus replied: “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.”

Pope Francis explained that the crowd listened to Jesus “without getting tired.” Once sated, they thought they would make Him king, “but they had forgotten their first enthusiasm for His Word.”

Remembering the first encounter with Jesus

So, he continued, the Lord reminded the crowd of their first encounter with the Word, and “He corrected the path of the people who had taken a more worldly, rather than evangelical path.”

This happens to us too, the Pope warned, when we move away from the path of the Gospel and we lose the memory of our first enthusiasm for the Word of the Lord… Kompli aqra »

Il-Mulej mhux se jitlaqna weħidna – L-Arċisqof

Quddiesa fit-Tielet Ħadd tal-Għid

26/04/2020   Il-Knisja ta' San Franġisk, il-Ħamrun

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dan ir-rakkont straordinarju mill-kapitlu 24 ta’ San Luqa jiġbor fih esperjenza li aħna niċċelebraw kull nhar ta’ Ħadd bħala komunità Nisranija. Kull nhar ta’ Ħadd il-Mulej jissieħeb magħna fil-pellegrinaġġ ta’ din il-ħajja, jispjegalna l-Iskrittura u aħna nagħrfuh fil-qsim tal-ħobż.

Nixtieq noffri llum bħala riflessjoni spirata minn dan l-Evanġelju sabiħ, l-Evanġelju tad-dixxipli ta’ Għemmaws, tliet riflessjonijiet. Id-dixxipli ta’ Għemmaws dakinhar tal-Għid il-kbir, dakinhar ta’ jum il-qawmien mill-mewt ta’ Ġesù, kienu semgħu l-aħbar li l-katavru tiegħu ma nstabx u li n-nisa kienu deherilhom xi anġlu li qalulhom li l-Mulej huwa ħaj… Kompli aqra »

Ittra mill-Papa Franġisku għax-xahar ta’ Mejju 2020

Ittra indirizzata lil dawk kollha li jemmnu

25/04/2020   Il-Vatikan

Għeżież ħuti,

Qed joqrob issa x-xahar ta’ Mejju, li fih il-poplu ta’ Alla jesprimi b’qawwa partikulari l-imħabba u l-qima tiegħu lejn il-Verġni Marija. Hija tradizzjoni li f’dan ix-xahar nitolbu r-Rużarju d-dar, fil-familja. Din tad-dar hi dimensjoni li r-restrizzjonijiet tal-pandemija “ġagħluna” nagħtuha iktar valur, anki mill-perspettiva spiritwali.

Għalhekk ħsibt li nipproponi lil kulħadd li niskopru mill-ġdid il-ġmiel li nitolbu r-Rużarju d-dar fix-xahar ta’ Mejju… Kompli aqra »

Come let us worship our King
Come let us bow at His feet

See how His love overcomes

Oh, hero of Heaven, You conquered the grave
You free every captive and break every chain
Oh God, You have done great things

We dance in Your freedom, awakened to life
Oh Jesus, our Saviour, Your name lifted high
Oh God, You have done great things

You’ve been faithful through every storm
You’ll be faithful forevermore
You have done great things
And I know You will do it again
For Your promise is “Yes and amen”
You will do great things
