Hemmhekk
Malli ssejħilna, Mulej,
aħna nitilqu
u mmorru f’postijiet
fejn nibnu s-solidarjetà.
Hemm kotra kbira!
Hemmhekk kulħadd iħossu marbut ma’ xulxin
b’rabta li ma tinħallx.
Hemmhekk kulħadd hu magħqud
għax kull persuna għandha dejjem
il-ferħ u l-paċi fiha.
Malli ssejħilna, Mulej,
aħna nitilqu
u mmorru f’pajjiżi
fejn hi meħtieġa l-maħfra… Read more »

Tiftix
Qrib tiegħi, Mulej,
nisma’ t-tgeġwiġ ta’ leħnek
u jien infittxek fil-proxxmu tiegħi
li jħaffef biex jiltaqa’ miegħi
u jara fhiex ninsab
meta ninqabad kuljum
ġo l-isqaqijiet ta’ ħajti.
Infittxek fit-tenerezzi
li juruni u nirċievi.
Infittxek fil-bnedmin
li b’rieda soda
moħħhom fit-tjieba
u fis-solidarjetà! … Read more »

Kurjuż
Kemm hi kurjuża dil-ħaġa,
li int, Mulej,
ta’ kobor bla qies,
u ogħla minn kollox
u minn kulħadd,
tersaq lejna bħal ħuna
u tgħix bħalna
u tmut ukoll bħalna,
u timxi magħna fil-widien xotti ta’ ħajjitna
u fl-istat fqajjar tagħna l-bnedmin.
Kemm hi kurjuża dil-ħaġa,
li int, Mulej,
etern u mogħti qima,
teħodha kontra l-flus
li jaħkmu l-qlub
u r-reliġjonijiet;
li int, tfittex il-ħbieb
għaliex ma tiflaħx ma taqsamx imħabbtek ma’ l-oħrajn,
li int, tilbes il-fardal tal-qaddejja;
li int, ġarrabt u waqajt
taħt l-attakki tal-mibegħda,
li int tokrob fis-solitudni;
li int, indfint fl-art
bħal ma’ żerriegħa titgħatta bil-ħamrija,
u minnek ħareġ frott li ħadd ma stenna:
fik aħna nemmnu,
Mulej Alla tagħna
li ġġib ruħek magħna
b’mod daqshekk kurjuż… Read more »
Euthanasia
The new guidelines published today by the Public Prosecutor Keir Starmer on the construction of the law on the right to life “undermine the ban on committing assisted suicide”: this is claimed by Paul Tully, Secretary General of the “Society for the protection of the unborn children”, one of England’s most important pro-life associations.
“As a matter of fact, the new policy makes assisted suicide no longer a crime in a wide range of circumstances”, Tully explained to SIR… Read more »
