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.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart… Read more »

In those days the disciples of John approached Jesus and said, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, but your disciples do not fast?”

Il-Kelma ta’ Ġesù tagħtina triq ċara għal din il-mixja tar-Randan: it-triq li tħares lejk innifsek, lejn il-proxxmu u lejn Alla. Il-Mulej iridek li ssaffi l-imħabba tiegħek għalik innifsek. Ma ninsewx li meta tagħna l-kmandament tal-imħabba, għallimna nħobbu lil għajrna bħalna nfusna. Li tħobb lilek innifsek hija li tieħu ħsieb tiegħek innifsek. U f’dan il-vjaġġ tar-Randan, is-sawm ma għandux ikun xi ħaġa negattiva, imma detox spiritwali; proċess li biha ninħeles minn dak kollu li jtaqqalni, li jfixkilni fil-mixja tiegħi ta’ mħabba… Read more »

Dalgħodu ngħata bidu għall-Ftuħ tal-Proċess Roman tal-Kawżi għall-Beatifikazzjoni u Kanonizzazjoni ta’ Henry u Inez Casolani.
Stephanie Quintano, li tmexxi l-Assoċjazzjoni Henry u Inez Casolani, stqarret, “din hija grazzja għalija li nkun hawn, f’Ruma fil-bidu ta’ dan il-proċess.” L-assoċjazzjoni hija l-hekk imsejħa “Attur” fil-kawża, jiġifieri dik li timbotta l-kawża u tgħin fil-promozzjoni tagħha.
Henry u Inez Casolani huma l-ewwel koppja lajka Maltija li ngħalaq il-proċess djoċesan għall-kawża tal-beatifikazzjoni u l-kanonizzazzjoni tagħhom… Read more »
Ir-Randan issa beda. U, naqra naqra, bdejna miexja fih ukoll. Inħoss li, hu x’inhu t-twemmin u n-nuqqas ta’ twemmin tagħna, ir-Randan jibqa’ dak iż-żmien intens ta’ tisfija li lkoll, nemmnu jew le, għandna bżonnu f’ħajjitna.
U hawn hi l-mediċina mill-iprem u mill-ifjen għal dan iż-żmien hekk partikulari mhux biss tas-sena liturġika tal-Knisja imma ta’ ħajjitna wkoll. Din id-darba, din il-mediċina ġiet miġjuba lilna mill-Ispirtu s-Santu, jew kif inħobbu nsejħulu b’ismu proprju bil-Malti, Ruħ il-Qdusija, minn Patri Benedittin qaddis li għex bejn is-snin 1007 u 1072, San Pietru Damiani… Read more »

Psalm: 1:1-2,3,4,6
Gospel: Luke 9:22-25
In those days Jesus said to His disciples: “The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.”
Then He said to all, “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Hemm kelma li faċilment tiġini kull Randan. Hi kelma bl-Ingliż li forsi li dan iż-żmien hi iżjed ta’ moda – detox. Hu proċess li permezz tiegħu jiena nitnaddaf minn dak kollu li hu tossiku u velenuż fil-ħajja tiegħi.
Fl-Evanġelju Ġesù jinsisti li dal-proċess mhux neċessarjament xi ħaġa li tidher minn barra jew li ssir għal għajn in-nies… Read more »
Għaddiet sena oħra
Għandna quddiemna r-Randan,
Trid fih tkun ferħan?
Is-sawm hu meħtieġ
Biex titrażżan ir-rieda,
Li twettaq li tixtieq.
Wasal ir-Randan
Mela ma niekolx ħelu,
Dnubi hu ġelu?
Hemm iżjed minn hekk
Biex ir-Randan ikunli ġid?
Ħa nagħmel li rrid?
Jew se nitrażżan
Mill-imġieba qarrieqa?
Kemm sirt bużżieqa? … Read more »
