L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Meta Ġesù jistaqsi lil Pietru għal tliet darbiet “Tħobbni int?”, bħalma rajna llum fl-Evanġelju ta’ San Ġwann, f’moħħna mill-ewwel nassoċċjaw dawn it-tliet darbiet li Ġesù staqsa “Tħobbni?” mat-tliet ċaħdiet li għamel Pietru fil-passjoni ta’ Ġesù. Niftakru f’dak l-episodju, li jsemmuh l-evanġelisti kollha, meta Pietru kien fejn il-qaddejja tal-qassis il-kbir u hemmhekk, meta staqsewh, ċaħad li kien jaf lil Ġesù. Beża’ u ċaħad… Read more »

♫ Fall Afresh – Bethel ♫

Awaken my soul, come awake
To hunger, to seek, to thirst
Awaken first love, come awake
And do as you did, at first

Spirit of the living God come fall afresh on me
Come wake me from my sleep
Blow through the caverns of my soul
Pour in me to overflow

Come and fill this place
Let Your glory now invade
Spirit come and fill this place
Let your glory now invade
