X’fettillek Pawl minn fost tant gżejjer
Fettillek taħbat ma’ Gżiritna?
Tgħid biex mas-snin tibqa’ tfakkarna
Fil-wirt għażiż li ħallejtilna?
X’fettillek Pawl tiġi hawn fostna
Meta Kreta kienet l-aqwa tort?
Tgħid biex tiftħilna dawl għajnejna
Li mingħajr Kristu ngħixu fit-tort?

Talba għat-Tqarbina tax-Xewqa
Ġesù, jiena nemmen li Inti tinsab tabilħaqq fis-Sagrament tal-Ewkaristija.
Irrid inħobbok fuq kollox u fuq kulħadd.

Ejja għandi Ġesù tiegħi, biex jiena niġi għandek… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Il-Kelma ta’ Alla llum, tkellimna dwar il-misteru tas-sejħa. Ilkoll nirċievu mingħand Ġesù, mingħand il-Mulej f’ħajjitna. Kemm il-Profeta fil-bidu tal-vokazzjoni tiegħu, l-Profeta Iżaija jħoss li mhuwiex dehen; hekk jiġrilu Pietru; hekk jikkonferma Pawlu. Dawn it-tliet personaġġi li l-Kelma ta’ Alla tlaqna magħhom illum: il-Profeta Iżaija, l-Appostlu Missierna, li mil-lejla nibdew niċċelebraw il-festa patronali tiegħu, u Pietru. Fil-laqgħa tagħhom mal-Mulej iħossu li huma midinbin, iħossu n-nuqqasijiet tagħhom; it-tagħbija tal-passat tagħhom… Read more »
