My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.

Imma f’dan il-kuntest Ġesù jitkellem dwar is-sliem, il-paċi tal-qalb. “Jiena nħallilkom is-sliem, nagħtikom is-sliem tiegħi” (Ġw 14:27). Dawn huma kliem li aħna nfakkru f’kull quddiesa qabel is-saċerdot jgħidilna biex nagħtu l-paċi lil xulxin… Read more »

Fl-Evanġelju kollu, hemm darba biss li jissemma Ġuda bil-kliem li hu qal – Ġuda mhux l-Iskarjota imma l-appostlu l-ieħor. Proprju fl-Evanġelju tal-lum, meta jagħmel dik il-mistoqsija: “Mulej, din kif inhi li int se turi ruħek lilna u mhux lid-dinja?”
