Kemm hija ta’ swied il-qalb xena fejn tara lil omm jew missier, xi ħadd mill-ġenituri li qed jibku lil uliedhom, għax ikunu tilfuhom! Aħna, bħalissa, meta naraw xeni mill-gwerer jew mill-konflitti – per eżempju, dawk l-ostaġġi li qegħdin miżmumin f’Gaża, u l-familji tagħhom; per eżempju, in-nies ta’ Gaża, tant tfal li spiċċaw mejta jew midruba – meta tara omm jew missier li għandhom xi ħadd minn uliedhom mejjet, hi xena tassew ta’ qsim il-qalb! … Read more »

“Sliem għalik, O Salib, l-unika tama tagħna”. Din l-iskrizzjoni, li hi meħuda minn innu antik li nkiteb fis-seklu 6 – Vexilla Regis – hi skrizzjoni li nsibuha f’diversi postijiet taħt is-salib ta’ Ġesù, taħt il-kurċifiss. U fl-Istorja tal-Knisja kienet skrizzjoni li tesprimi l-iktar missjoni importanti ta’ ċerti gruppi, bħall-Kongregazzjoni tas-Salib Imqaddes, li għażlu din bħala motto… Read more »
