come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

Ħafna drabi staqsejt lili nnifsi: imma dawn it-tliet kelmiet ta’ Ġesù dwar l-iżball tad-dinja, xi jfissru eżattament? Għax il-Mulej jgħid li meta jiġi l-Ispirtu s-Santu, meta jingħata l-Ispirtu s-Santu jipperswadina dwar l-ideat żbaljati li għandha d-dinja dwar tliet affarijiet. U rrid nammetti li ħafna drabi ninduna li anke jien naqa’ f’dan l-iżball għax qiegħed fid-dinja u kultant nittieħed mill-ispirtu tad-dinja… Read more »
“Dun Mikiel responded with his heart full of love to bring into the open the persons with disability and provide them with a home: Id-Dar tal-Providenza.”
Fr Frans Abdilla, Ecclesiastical Assistant of the Malta Catholic Action (MCA), said this during his homily whilst concelebrating mass to commemorate the 36th anniversary of the death of Dun Mikiel, the founder of the Home.

Għal darbtejn f’din is-silta qasira fl-Evanġelju llum, Ġesù jirrepeti l-istess ħaġa. Jgħid: “Jekk tħobbuni, ħarsu l-kmandamenti tiegħi” (Ġw 14:15); u ftit wara: “Min iżomm il-kmandamenti tiegħi u jħarishom, dak hu li jħobbni” (Ġw 14:21).
Għaliex Ġesù jenfasizza daqshekk l-imħabba lejh u kif għandha tintwera din l-imħabba lejh? L-ewwel nett, dan hu kliem li qed jgħid fl-Aħħar Ċena, ftit qabel il-passjoni u l-mewt tiegħu, fl-aħħar mumenti ta’ ħajtu… Read more »
