F’din is-silta mill-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann, il-Mulej jammetti min hu: “qabel ma kien Abraham, jiena hu” (Ġw 8:58). Il-frażi ‘jiena Hu’ hija l-isem ta’ Alla. Qabel nibdew il-Ġimgħa Mqaddsa, dan l-Evanġelju jfakkarna ma’ min se niltaqgħu f’dawn il-jiem fil-passjoni u l-mewt ħarxa tiegħu. Wieħed minna, l-Iben t’Alla magħmul bniedem, ilbieraħ stess iċċelebrajna t-tnissil tiegħu fil-ġuf ta’ ommu, għax ilbieraħ il-25 ta’ Marzu jaħbat disa’ xhur qabel il-Milied… Read more »

Xi jfissru l-ġesti li tant imdorrijin nagħmlu fil-Jum Devozzjonali ta’ Marija Addolorata? X’inhuma s-seba’ duluri ta’ Marija? U fuq kollox, x’qed ilissnu l-passi tiegħi warajha?

Imma mhux biss ħajjitha; jibdel id-destin tal-umanità kollha: “Ara, int se tnissel fil-ġuf u jkollok iben u jsemmuh Ġesù” (Lq 1:31). Alla jidħol fl-istorja tal-bniedem mhux bil-forza, mhux bl-istorbju, imma bi stedina kwieta, b’sejħa personali… Read more »
