Reflections for Lent – 28th February 2010

28/02/2010

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 »
