Ir-Randan issa beda. U, naqra naqra, bdejna miexja fih ukoll. Inħoss li, hu x’inhu t-twemmin u n-nuqqas ta’ twemmin tagħna, ir-Randan jibqa’ dak iż-żmien intens ta’ tisfija li lkoll, nemmnu jew le, għandna bżonnu f’ħajjitna.
U hawn hi l-mediċina mill-iprem u mill-ifjen għal dan iż-żmien hekk partikulari mhux biss tas-sena liturġika tal-Knisja imma ta’ ħajjitna wkoll.

Għaddiet sena oħra
Għandna quddiemna r-Randan,
Trid fih tkun ferħan?

Jew se nitrażżan
Mill-imġieba qarrieqa?
Kemm sirt bużżieqa? … Read more »
