今日的馬爾他騎士會

馬爾他騎士會是一個天主教平信徒的宗教團體，致力於照顧和服務弱勢社群、病人、被遺忘者或社會上遭排斥的人，已超過900年。現時馬爾他騎士會在全球120多個國家，透過醫療、緊急人道救援和社會援助及廣泛的慈善工作，為他們提供服務。

馬爾他騎士會亦在全球開展人道援助項目，及建立國際網絡，當中包括合作夥伴、機構、醫院，診所和醫療中心。馬爾他騎士會於全球擁有超過13,500成員和80,000名來自世界各地和不同階層的強大義工團隊。馬爾他騎士會是中立、公正和非政治性的機構。

歷史根源

馬爾他騎士會創於1048年， 是西方基督徒文化中歷史最悠久的機構。 在十一世紀，一個修會團體 ─ 耶路撒冷聖約翰騎士團在耶路撒冷創辦一所醫院，以照顧來自不同宗教或種族的朝聖者，開始為大眾所認識。隨着他們的工作愈來愈受到讚賞，聲名遠播，在1113年，教宗賈利二世正式認可該修會團體為一個平信徒的宗教組織。教宗確認醫療慈善事務長真福傑立德聯同一個已成立的修士團體為騎士會的會祖。所有擔任醫療慈善事務長的騎士都是神職人員，他們矢發了神貧、貞潔及服從三大聖願。騎士會其後要負起軍事任務，保護病者和朝聖者，並保衛其醫療中心及主要道路。於是，騎士會除了醫療慈善事務的使命之外，還要加上保衛信仰的任務。隨着時間的推移， 騎士會現時仍然以白色的八角星十字架為象徵。自十八世紀，騎士會已毋須負起軍事職責，

但仍繼續秉承創會的使命，專注於醫療慈善事務及人道援助工作。
