Min hu fidil f’ħaġa tassew żgħira, hu fidil ukoll fil‑ħafna (Lq 16:10)
“Hi ħaġa tassew nobbli li wieħed iħabrek biex jieħu ħsieb tal‑ħolqien b’għemejjel ċkejkna ta’ kuljum … bħal meta wieħed jevita l‑użu ta’ materjal tal‑plastik jew tal‑karta, inaqqas il‑konsum tal‑ilma, jifred l‑iskart, isajjar biss dak li jaħseb li jiflaħ jiekol, jittratta b’għożża l‑ħlejjaq ħajjin l‑oħra, jinqeda bit‑trasport pubbliku jew jaqsam l‑istess karozza ma’ iktar minn persuna waħda, jiżra’ s‑siġar, jitfi dwal mixgħula għalxejn, u ħafna iżjed.” (Laudato si’, par…

Pope Francis on Saturday met in the Vatican 75 newly-appointed bishops from the mission territories of 34 countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania, and urged them to care for their flocks like the Good Shepherd, by being men of prayer, proclamation and communion.
The bishops are participating in a seminar that the Vatican’s Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples has organized September 3-15 to help them in their ministry.
In a talk to them, Pope Francis said that a bishop is configured to Christ the Good Shepherd and Priest who does not live for himself but offers his life for his sheep, especially the weakest those most in danger, who are made to feel the Lord’s predilection through his gestures and words of comfort.
Men of prayer, proclamation, communion
As a man of prayer, the Pope said, a bishop always brings his people and situations before God every day, becoming like Jesus the victim and altar for the salvation of his flock.
The second task of a bishop is to go out and proclaim the Gospel in places where the Lord is not known or is disfigured and persecuted, and not to remain seated in his office like a company manager or a prince. In this duty, he should be a humble witness to the Gospel like Jesus, without giving in to the temptation of power, gratification, worldliness or projecting oneself, and without watering down the crucified and risen Jesus…

Pope Francis drew inspiration on Sunday from the Gospel reading of the day to invite all Christians not to turn away from the suffering of their brothers and sisters.
Speaking during the Sunday Angelus in St Peter’s Square, the Pope reflected on the episode that tells of Jesus’ miraculous healing of a deaf and dumb man.
Do good without ostentation
Pointing out that Jesus always “acts with discretion” as he “does not want to impress people, he is not looking for popularity or success, he just wants to do good to people” the Pope said that “with this attitude, He teaches us that good must be done without clamour and without ostentation”…
