Prayer for Spiritual Communion
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 »
Qatt ħsibt dwar il-kuntrast li hemm bejn il-bidu u t-tmiem tal-Velja tal-Għid il-Kbir? Id-dawl u d-dlam. Is-skiet u l-kant ta’ tifħir. L-istennija u t-tgawdija. Il-mewt u l-ħajja. Ilkoll kuntrasti li jħeġġuna nittamaw li dak li hu skur fil-ħajja m’għandux l-aħħar kelma. Xi jġegħilni nkanta? Xi jġegħilni ngħix u nittama?
Din hija serje ta’ riflessjonijiet bi preparazzjoni għall-ġesti li se nkunu qed niċċelebraw fil-knejjes tagħna fi triqitna lejn il-festa tal-Għid… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Iżda meta waslu għall-Ġesù, billi raw li kien diġa’ mejjet, ma kisrulux riġlejh. Madankollu wieħed mis-suldati nifidlu ġenbu b’lanza, u minnufih ħareġ demm u ilma. Dan qiegħed jixhdu min rah b’għajnejh, u x-xhieda tiegħu hija minnha. U jaf li qiegħed jgħid il-verità, biex intom ukoll temmnu. Għax dan ġara biex isseħħ l-Iskrittura li tgħid: “Ebda waħda minn għadmu ma jkissrulu.” U hemm ukoll kitba oħra fl-Iskrittura li tgħid: “Huma għad iħarsu lejn min nifdu” (lq 24:13-35)… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Ħabbhom għall-aħħar” (Ġw 13:1). Illejla qed nidħlu f’mument mill-aktar speċjali fil-ħajja ta’ Ġesù. Ħamis ix-Xirka ddaħħalna fil-Kamra ta’ Fuq, fejn Ġesù hu miġbur għall-ikla flimkien mat-tnax, u fejn kollox għandu tifsira profonda. Hija l-lejla tal-imħabba li ssir azzjoni umli, li tagħti lilha nnifisha.
Jinżel għarkupptejh
Fir-rakkont skont San Ġwann, tiġri xi ħaġa mhux mistennija. Minflok ma jibda bit-tqassim tal-ħobż waqt l-Ikla mat-tnax, naraw lil Ġesù jinżel għarkupptejh quddiem id-dixxipli u jaħsilhom saqajhom… Read more »

The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to St John
Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered. Judas his betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. So Judas got a band of soldiers and guards from the chief priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons… Read more »
Fil-jum tal-Ġimgħa l-Kbira ma nistgħux ma nosservawx differenzi fil-laqgħa tagħna bħala Knisja: in-nuqqas ta’ kant, talb li s-soltu ngħidu ma jingħadx, u ġesti partikulari mis-saċerdoti li mhux spiss naraw. Fin-nuqqas tal-għeżież tagħna, il-ħajja bħal donnu ma nesperjenzawhiex bħal qabel. Xi jfissru dawn il-ġesti hekk kif niftakru fin-nuqqas tal-egħżeż li għandna u li qatt kellna?
Din hija serje ta’ riflessjonijiet bi preparazzjoni għall-ġesti li se nkunu qed niċċelebraw fil-knejjes tagħna fi triqitna lejn il-festa tal-Għid… Read more »
Ritratt: Ian Noel Pace- Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
“Hu, li kien ħabb lil tiegħu li kienu fid-dinja, ħabbhom għall-aħħar” (Ġw 13:1). Huwa dan li qegħdin niċċelebraw illejla: l-imħabba ta’ Ġesù, li tilħaq il-qofol tagħha, u tilħaq ukoll il-milja tagħha. L-espressjoni “ħabbhom għall-aħħar” (Ġw 13:1), mhux biss temporali, imma wkoll ta’ kwalità; ma setgħax iħobbna iżjed: ħabbna sal-aħħar.
Fil-poeżija ta’ Dun Karm, li aħna nkantaw, fl-innu ‘Tina l-Ħlewwa’, “l-aħħar qatra ta’ Demmek tajtilna”, dan li qegħdin niċċelebraw: l-għotja ta’ Ġesù – l-umiljazzjoni tiegħu, li mhijiex umiljazzjoni li tkissirna, imma li turina kemm iħobbna… Read more »
