“Mimlija bil-grazzja” (Lq 1:28). Dan huwa l-kliem li l-anġlu Gabriel qal lil Marija, kif rajna fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa, u huwa kliem li ngħidulha fit-talba “Sliem għalik Marija, bil-grazzja mimlija”. Huwa kliem speċjali għax huwa l-uniku post fl-Evanġelju fejn hi użata din l-espressjoni. Ħadd ħlief Marija ma jissejjaħ “mimlija bil-grazzja”.

Huwa proprju dan li qed niċċelebraw illum fis-Solennità ta’ Marija mmnissla mingħajr dnub – l-Immakulata Kunċizzjoni – u meta aħna nħarsu lejn Marija “mimlija bil-grazzja”, naraw fiha din l-opra kbira li Alla għamel… Read more »

Prayer of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Mary

Sliema għalik, o Marija!

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Fl-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna hemm kelma għażiża, li ma nisimgħux darba biss imma almenu darbtejn. L-Anġlu Gabrijel, li ismu jfisser il-qawwa t’Alla, iżur lil xebba rżina, sempliċi, umli ġo belt moħbija, anzi ta’ fama ma tantx tajba – Nazaret. U jsellmilha u jgħidilha “Sliem għalik, mimlija bil-grazzja” (Lq 1:28). Jagħtiha isem ġdid. Hi kien jisimha Marija għal oħt Mosè… Read more »
