Yes He Is! Trying to rationalize reality will sooner or later force one to conclude God is One Illogical Being. How is it that He loves us and yet He allows suffering, injustice and evil in the world?
Well, God might not be the only one! How can I explain my vocation to the priesthood as anything but illogical? After obtaining a Master’s degree in IT, and working for over six years in software 
The recent issue of 3-parent babies in the UK has again brought to the fore the Science-Faith debate. In this case, the Anglican and Catholic Churches have both voiced their concerns about this scientific possibility. But should they have spoken or should they have kept their place and refrain from interfering with what lies in the scientific sphere?
The process of 3-parent babies involves removing the genetic material from the donor’s…
Dak li għaddej bħalissa madwarna jfakkarni fid-diska ta’ John Lennon “Imagine”. F’din id-diska John Lennon jidentifika żewġ problemi fid-dinja: il-problema tal-idealiżmu reliġjuż u l-problema tal-kontroll. Fil-Lvant Nofsani u n-naħa ta’ fuq tal-Afrika, kif ukoll naraw l-effeti tagħha fl-Ewropa, hemm kunflitti 
mqajma minħabba l-idealiżmu reliġjuż. Filwaqt li fl-Ukrajna għandek kunflitt imqajjem minn kontroll fuq territorju. Għal dan John Lennon joffri soluzzjoni li kulħadd ikun l-istess u jaħseb l-istess, imma hija verament soluzzjoni?…
L-għażla favur il-ħajja hi tema li spiss tiġi diskussa. Forsi għal ħafna minna, dan is-suġġet jibqa’ għaddej minn fuq rasna bla ma naħsbu xejn dwaru. Fil-ħajja magħġla tal-lum, ftit li xejn wieħed għandu ċans joqgħod jaħseb fuq il-ħajja. Iżda ħaġa tal-iskantament, diversi minna jeħduha qatta bla ħabel kontra 
dawk li jitkellmu favur l-abort jew l-ewtanasja. Dan għaliex ilkoll għandna għal qalbna l-valur tal-ħajja umana sa mit-tnissil tagħha u nagħrfu li hemm…
Issa li kważi ser jagħlaq sentejn fil-ħidma tiegħu, nistgħu nsejħu lil Papa Franġisku Missier Twajjeb! U forsi hawn min jistaqsi: x’jagħmlu hekk? Franġisku min-natural tiegħu jħobb ikun qalb in-nies: qalb l-ulied tal-Missier li l-istess Missier fdalu f’idejh. Jidħaq ma’ min jidħaq, jibki ma’ min jibki, jagħti kelma ta’ inkoraġġiment lil dawk li jesperjenzaw qtigħ il-qalb, tgħanniqa mill-qalb lill-marid, taptipa lill-batut:
dan hu Papa Franġisku għalija u żgur għal ħafna minna! Saħansitra…
Tiftaħ it-televixin jew il-gazzetta u tara jew taqra dwar qtil ’l hawn u gwerer ’l hemm, serq, sfruttar ta’ persuni, kriminalità u iktar. Iċempillek xi ħadd tal-familja jew tiltaqa’ ma’ xi ħadd li tafu u jirrakkuntalek fuq xi marda jew biċċa inkwiet oħra fil-familja. Tmur ix-xogħol u xi ħadd minn sħabek jiftaħ qalbu 
miegħek li għandu l-problemi mal-mara jew mar-raġel, jew forsi inkwetat bit-tfal minħabba xi vizzju jew relazzjoni li qiegħda…
Last Monday morning, at around 6:45, four youths gathered in a small chapel at the Seminary. Together with their co-ordinator they contemplated and prayed the Magnificat. Then together they reflected upon a passage from the Scriptures through which they discerned God’s word for them for that particular day. Breakfast followed and then they cleaned their residential area. At around nine their Latin lecturer arrived. For the following hours they were introduced to the language, which is so central to…
Bħalissa fil-midja għaddejja diskussjoni dwar l-età ta’ meta persuna tista’ tagħti kunsens sesswali. Dan juri kemm is-sess jingħata importanza fid-dinja tal-lum. Allura tiġi l-mistoqsija: huwa ‘normali’ min ma jagħżilx stil ta’ ħajja li jinkludi s-sess? Xi tfisser li persuna tkun ċelibi?
Iċ-ċelibat huwa stat ta’ ħajja fejn is-saċerdot ma jintrabatx ma’ persuna waħda (bħalma jiġri fiż-żwieġ) imma għażla biex ikun miftuħ ħalli jirċievi l-imħabba ta’ Alla espressa fil-poplu li jkun qed jaqdi. Dan il-ftuħ ma jitfaċċax f’daqqa, imma jikber fil-qalb…
