During a Mass held at the Sir Anthony Mamo Oncology Centre, Archbishop Charles Scicluna reflected on the raising of Lazarus, inviting the faithful to trust in Jesus’ deep love before witnessing His power over death.
In his homily, the Archbishop emphasised that Jesus first shows compassion and closeness to His friends, before revealing His divine strength. He stated, “Jesus reassures us that death is not a wall but a door that leads to eternal life,” highlighting a message of hope and faith, particularly meaningful in a healthcare setting.
Following the Mass, Archbishop Scicluna met with healthcare workers and specialists at SAMOC, acknowledging their dedication and service. He also visited patients in their rooms, offering words of comfort and encouragement during their difficult journey.
The Archbishop drew a parallel between the suffering experienced by patients and the Passion of Jesus in the final hours of His life, underlining a shared experience of pain that is accompanied by faith and hope.
He was accompanied by the Episcopal Vicar for Diakonia, Dun Martin Micallef, as well as Capuchin friars responsible for pastoral ministry at the centre.
