  • Shrine of Madonna tal-Ħerba, Birkirkara
    21st June 2019 

    Celebrating St Josemaria Escriva, Founder of Opus Dei, one cannot fail to see how close his writings are to the teachings of Pope Francis, particularly on one important subject on which I would like to focus today: our call to holiness – a subject in which St Josemaria was a precursor of the Second Vatican Council, particularly the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium…

    Il-festa għażiża tal-Madonna tal-Abbandunati, meqjuma f’din il-knisja tal-Wardija, titfa’ ħarsitna qabel xejn fuq Marija. Hi tassew sabiħa din l-istatwa titulari ta’ Wistin Camilleri li saret madwar l-1919, mitt sena ilu.

    Kien f’kuntest tal-akbar abbandun, meta kien fuq is-salib, li Ġesù tana lil Marija bħala Omm…

    Aktarx li xi darba jew oħra rajna stampa jew pittura tal-festa tal-lum. Kemm-il darba, f’din il-festa tat-Tlugħ fis-sema tal-Mulej, Ġesù jidher maqtugħ mill-art u l-appostli jħarsu lejh iċċassati.

    27 ta’ Mejju 2019

    Franġisku hu isem li jfakkarna f’qaddisin speċjali fil-Knisja u fil-Papa preżenti.  Franġisku kien l-isem ta’ Padre Pio qabel daħal il-kunvent ta’ sittax-il sena biex jissieħeb mal-Patrijiet Kapuċċini.

    Aħna u niċċelebraw illum l-anniversarju (il-132 sena) tat-twelid tiegħu, tajjeb inħarsu lejn dan il-bniedem importanti fl-istorja reliġjuża Taljana imma wkoll dinjija…
