My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things.
I desire to receive You into my soul.

come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

Anke f’dan l-Evanġelu mill-kap 21 ta’ San Luqa, Ġesù jżewweġ dawn iż-żewġ esperjenzi: waħda li ġrat. Wara żmienu; xi 40 sena wara l-mewt tiegħu, fis-sena 70, il-qerda ta’ Ġerusalemm mill-eżerċitu Ruman; u l-oħra li għadna ma esperjenzajniex, għadu ma għaddinhiex minnha, li hu tmiem tad-dinja li nafu aħna. Għal bniedem Lhudi, kif għedna, il-qerda ta’ Ġerusalemm, hi proprju qrib ħafna, il-qerda ta’ kollox… Read more »

Il‑Kurja tal‑Arċisqof tixtieq tiċċara li l‑protokolli għall‑attivitajiet reliġjużi jikkonċernaw dak li jsir fil‑knejjes u f’postijiet li jintużaw għall‑qima reliġjuża.
