• On the occasion of the Jubilee of the Family that was held at the Archbishop’s Seminary in Tal-Virtù, Archbishop Charles J. Scicluna presented the Maltese translation of the Apostolic Exhortation ‘Amoris Laetitia’ (Il-Ferħ tal-Imħabba). 

    The Exhortation ‘Amoris Laetitia’ is a collection of the Church’s teachings on the sacrament of marriage and life in the family. The Exhortation also offers practical meditations for married couples to help them reflect on the challenges that life offers in order to deepen their relationship. The Pope offers suggestions for modes of accompaniment for new couples, while exhorting for sensitivity in dealing with different realties of family units.  

    The Archbishop encourages everyone to read this document, in which Pope Francis proposes an ecclesial pastoral approach that is open to the current culture and that will also help us to search for what unites us.
