    “Ħenjin dawk li ma rawx u emmnu” (Ġw 20:29).  Din hija l-aħħar beatitudni li nisimgħu fl-Evanġelju. Diversi drabi l-Mulej Ġesù jsemmi l-barkiet: hemm il-barkiet tal-beatitudnijiet fuq il-muntanja, it-tmienja li huma; hemm il-barka li jgħid lil Pietru: “Ħieni int għax mhux id-demm u l-laħam għarrfek dan, imma Missieri” (ara Mt 16:17); hemm l-hena ta’ omm Ġesù: “Ħienja int li emmint dak li qallek il-Mulej” (ara Lq 1:45); u hemm din il-beatitudni li hija l-beatitudni tagħna “Ħenjin dawk li ma rawx u emmnu.”

    Aħna ma rajniex lil Ġesù jterraq fid-dinja, ma rajniex il-mirakli tiegħu, ma smajnihx jitkellem…

24/04/2018

  • Photo: Pope Francis at lunch with the poor of Molise, Italy, 5 July, 2014.  

  • Pope Francis on Monday marked the feast of his namesake, Jorge (George), in his characteristic unassuming way, spending time with the needy and homeless of Rome, the Office of Papal Charities said in a brief note.  It said that on this occasion it would distribute 3000 ice creams to the poor and homeless who daily come to soup kitchens, dormitories and other places run mostly by Caritas in the Italian capital.

23/04/2018

  • As prenatal tests proliferate, the medical and broader communities perceive that such testing is a logical extension of good prenatal care.
