Reflections on St Joseph by the Bishops (4)

Ir-raba’ riflessjoni dwar Patris Corde tal-Papa Franġisku hi mill-Arċisqof Charles Scicluna fuq it-tema Ġużeppina ‘Bniedem Realista u Fidil’. L-Arċisqof Scicluna jaqsam magħna ħsibijietu dwar San Ġużepp li ma jibżax, anke jekk ħafna drabi kellu jitħabat ma’ futur inċert. Għaliex aħna tant inkunu maħkuma mill-biża’? X’jikkawża l-ansjetà fil-bniedem? San Ġużepp hu bniedem li minkejja ħafna kriżijiet, kellu l-kuraġġ jaċċetta l-għajnuna u l-wens ta’ Alla… Read more »

It-tielet riflessjoni dwar Patris Corde tal-Papa Franġisku hi mill-Isqof Awżiljarju u Vigarju Ġenerali, Joseph Galea-Curmi fuq it-tema Ġużeppina ‘Jisma’ u jilqa’ r-Rieda tal-Missier’. L-Isqof Galea-Curmi jfiehem xi tfisser meta ngħidu li nisimgħu lil Alla jkellimna, l-istess kif l-anġlu tal-Mulej kellem lil Ġużeppi. U jitkellem dwar kif kull bniedem hu msejjaħ għal vokazzjoni partikolari u kif il-vokazzjoni mhux biss nagħżluha imma tagħżel lilna.

Dawn ir-riflessjonijiet huma parti minn sensiela ta’ filmati, li tħejjew minn Behold, li hu proġett ta’ Pastorali Bibblika u Liturġika fi ħdan il-Vigarjat għall-Evanġelizzazzjoni, għal tmiem is-Sena Ġużeppina 2020-2021… Read more »

It-tieni riflessjoni dwar Patris Corde tal-Papa Franġisku hi mill-Isqof t’Għawdex, Anton Teuma fuq it-tema Ġużeppina ‘Xbieha tal-Ħniena tal-Missier’. L-Isqof Teuma jirrifletti dwar xi tfisser tkun missier tajjeb fid-dinja tal-lum u l-isfidi tal-paternità, jaqsam ħsibijietu dwar kif nistgħu nifhmu li Ġesù kellu Missier fis-sema u missier fuq l-art.

Dawn ir-riflessjonijiet huma parti minn sensiela ta’ filmati, li tħejjew minn Behold, li hu proġett ta’ Pastorali Bibblika u Liturġika fi ħdan il-Vigarjat għall-Evanġelizzazzjoni, għal tmiem is-Sena Ġużeppina 2020-2021… Read more »
