Id-djalogu huwa l-ossiġnu tal-paċi

There seems to be no end in sight to the fighting and suffering in the war in Ukraine. Since February 24 of last year, hundreds of thousands have been killed and millions more have been forced to flee from their homes.

As the war drags on, we risk giving up on peace and becoming numb to the suffering of victims. While Ukraine has the right to defend its sovereignty and firmly reject Russian aggression with the necessary aid, everything must be done so that the inevitability of war gives way to paths of dialogue that lead to a just peace… Kompli aqra »

Naffaċjaw il-biżgħat tagħna u nerġgħu ningħaqdu bħala dinja

The two-year long Concerted Action of Justice and Peace Europe is inspired by the remarkable foresight of Pope Francis’ encyclical letter Fratelli Tutti. In the next two years the thirty member commissions of Justice and Peace Europe will continue their long-term work on social justice, drawing particular attention to social fears that are ignored, but also contribute to deconstruct fear and anxiety which threaten to manipulate European citizens… Kompli aqra »

L-abdikazzjoni kontinwa tal-gvern mir-responsabbiltajiet ta’ tfittxija u salvataġġ qed tikkontribwixxi għall-imwiet fil-Mediterran

Aktar minn 1,300 persuna mietu jew għebu fiċ-Ċentru tal-Mediterran fl-2022. Dawn in-nies – irġiel, nisa, tfal, ulied – jistgħu jiżdiedu man-numru ta’ mwiet deplorevoli ta’ aktar minn 25,000 persuna li mietu waqt li kienu qed jaqsmu l-Mediterran mill-2014 ‘l hawn[1].

In-nuqqas kontinwu tal-gvern Malti li jżomm ir-responsabbiltajiet tiegħu ta’ tfittxija u salvataġġ (SAR) jikkontribwixxi għal dan in-numru ta’ mwiet billi jpoġġi l-ħajjiet f’riskju… Kompli aqra »

Il-Knisja f’Malta

Meta tkellem f’Ta Pinu, il-Papa Franġisku stedinna nerġgħu niskopru l-essenzjali tal-fidi tagħna f’proċess ta’ tiġdid tal-ħajja tal-Knisja li qatt mhija biss “storja tal-imgħoddi biex infakkruha, imma futur kbir li rridu nibnu.” Bin-numri dejjem jonqsu u d-distanza bejn il-valuri tal-Evanġelju u l-kultura dominanti dejjem tikber, kif tista’ l-Knisja lokali tkompli taqsam l-Aħbar it-Tajba ma’ kulħadd u mhux biss ma’ ċirku żgħir u ristrett? Lesti nħallu warajna ż-żoni ta’ kumdità, biex naqbdu rotot ta’ evanġelizzazzjoni ġodda u riskjuzi? … Kompli aqra »

Il-kontribut ta’ Papa Benedittu għad-Duttrina Soċjali tal-Knisja

A lot is being written these days about the figure of Benedict XVI, a pope of great intelligence, formation and humility, who will certainly go down in history books as a great theologian. In this brief article, I wish to summarize, what, in my opinion, were Benedict’s greatest contributions to the Social Doctrine of the Church.

When going through the writings of the different Popes, we will often notice quotes from their predecessors and or even from their previous writings… Kompli aqra »

Rapport Annwali 2022

In a year which was sadly marked by the return of war on European soil and daily reports of deadly injustices and senseless violence, the need to denounce situations of violent injustice, whilst proposing creative pathways which lead to more just and reconciled communities, has never been so urgently felt.

In this context, as a Commission, we make ours the words of the Holy Father who, whilst in Malta, highlighted the need to shore up the foundations of life in society, namely honesty, justice, a sense of duty and transparency… Kompli aqra »

Ħadd ma jista’ jsalva waħdu

In his message for the 56th World Day of Peace, which will be celebrated on the 1st of January 2023, Pope Francis reminds that there is light even in the darkest hour. Using the Covid-19 pandemic as an example, the Pope says that the pandemic made us all aware of the need for everyone, including peoples and nations, to restore the word “together” to a central place in our lexicon.  Only the peace that comes from a fraternal and disinterested love can help us overcome personal, societal and global crises… Kompli aqra »
