♫ Fall Afresh – Bethel ♫
Awaken my soul, come awake
To hunger, to seek, to thirst
Awaken first love, come awake
And do as you did, at first
Spirit of the living God come fall afresh on me
Come wake me from my sleep
Blow through the caverns of my soul
Pour in me to overflow
Come and fill this place
Let Your glory now invade
Spirit come and fill this place
Let your glory now invade

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi
Fit-talba li Ġesù għamel għad-dixxipli tiegħu fl-aħħar ċena, hu jgħid lill-Missier biex iżommhom taħt il-ħarsien tiegħu. Hemm f’din it-talba dak is-sens ta’ mħabba, ta’ kura, ta’ għożża, ta’ protezzjoni li Ġesù kellu mad-dixxipli tiegħu, u għalhekk jitlob lill-Missier: “ħarishom f’ismek” dawn id-dixxipli.
Id-dixxipli kellhom bżonn li jħarishom il-Mulej. Mhux biss għax kienu se jgħaddu mill-esperjenza qarsa tal-passjoni u l-mewt ta’ Ġesù; imma wara l-qawmien tiegħu u bl-inżul tal-Ispirtu s-Santu fuqhom, setgħu jħossu dan il-ħarsien tal-Mulej, speċjalment meta kellhom jaffaċċjaw sfidi, diffikultajiet u persekuzzjonijiet huma u jxandru l-Evanġelju… Read more »
