It has been a lovely, albeit hectic, weekend in Nicosia, giving an intensive course to students at Saint Barnabas Education and Training Centre, part of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem. @LPJerusalem

Glad to share that my latest peer-reviewed article has been published in Religions: “‘Not Moses… But My Father’ (John 6:32): Mnemosynic Identification and YHWH–Christ Christology in John’s Rereading of Exodus.” @MDPIOpenAccess

Responding to President Trump’s threat that “a whole civilisation will die tonight”, Pope Leo XIV calls for peace, says “let's remember, especially the innocent children, the elderly, sick. So many people who have already become, or will become victims of this continued warfare, and to remind all that attacks on civilian infrastructure is against international law.”

The Pope’s remarks in full:

“I would simply say, once again, what I said in the Urbi et Orbi message on Sunday, asking all the people of goodwill to search always for peace, and not violence, to reject war, especially a war, which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate, and which is not resolving anything.

In fact, we have a worldwide economic crisis, energy crisis. The situation in the Middle East of great instability, which is only provoking more hatred throughout the world.

So come back to the table. Let's talk, let's look for solutions in a peaceful way.

And let's remember, especially the innocent children, the elderly, sick. So many people who have already become, or will become victims of this continued warfare, and to remind all that attacks on civilian infrastructure is against international law, but that it is also a sign of the hatred, the destruction the human being is capable of.

And we all want to work for peace.

People want peace.

I would invite the citizens of all the countries involved to contact the authorities, political leaders, congressmen, to ask them, tell them to work for peace and to reject war always.”

Spent my birthday in Ephesus; from the Library of Celsus to the Basilica of the Council of Ephesus, the tomb of St John, and Mass at the House of Our Lady. The day ended with an exam that went well!

The Council of Laodicea (4th c.) met in the city’s basilica, where remains of a striking baptistery and ambo can still be seen. These ruins witness both the city’s wealth and its role in shaping early Christian practice.

[Peter Ellul @EllulPeter]

Laodicea, one of the seven churches of Revelation, is described as “lukewarm.” The image draws on the city’s water supply, arriving tepid from its source. In a wealthy urban center, such mediocrity in faith mirrored its material comfort. @UniGregoriana

Malta urges the Israeli Government to reconsider its announced plan to intensify operations in Gaza.

Hamas must disarm and play no part in Gaza’s future, but further escalation by Israel is wrong.

It will worsen the humanitarian crisis and the cruel conditions in which hostages are being held.

A ceasefire is needed now.

False accusations against priest lead to two-year discharge for blackmailer https://t.co/h6yHAl7s7y

My full support for, & solidarity with, one of our hard working dedicated priests, falsely accused & maliciously harassed. We pray for those behind this and to God for protection.

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐚𝐭𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨: Pope Francis reminded us that the Lord’s call is rooted in the experience of His mercy. He taught us, … the style of the Gospel: closeness, tenderness, & compassion. [He was the Lord’s gift: a], wise, humble & strong shepherd! RIP!

הושענא

Hoshana, Osanna, salvaci!
È il grido di chi sa che nessuno si salva da solo.
È il canto dell'affidamento.
È la Speranza che germoglia di fronte a Colui che viene nel Nome.

Buona festa delle #Palme🌿

[Bishop CJ Scicluna @BishopScicluna]
