To my Crucifix

Canticle by Archbishop Charles Jude Scicluna

10/04/2020

Fik nara l-glorja ta’ kull xemx qed titla’,
treġġa’ għall-ħajja l-ħolqien mir-raqda.
Fik nara n-nar ta’ ħġejjeġ ġuf id-dinja:
Demmek bħal-lava – kulma jmiss jinħall!

Idek imsammra ma’ dik l-għuda msewsa
tqattar il-maħfra għal dnubieti fiergħa.
Ġismek imtertaq jgħajjat biss il-ħniena:
Inti tal-għaġeb, u ma titwemminx!

Int bniedem magħsur mid-demm, Bin Alla l-ħaj;
taħfer u tagħder lil min sammrek, sallbek;
U x-xemx dallamt fis b’mewtek u l-blat triegħed! … Read more »

F’Ħamis ix-Xirka mdorrijin niltaqgħu fil-Konkatidral ta’ San Ġwann u flimkien niċċelebraw il-misteru kbir mhux biss tal-Ordinazzjoni tagħna imma tal-vokazzjoni tagħna.

San Ġwann Pawlu II kien jgħid li l-vokazzjoni tagħna hija misteru kbir. Aħna nafu lkoll kemm aħna kemm hu misteru kbir ta’ ħniena u ta’ mħabba minn Alla, li tistedinna biex din l-imħabba li rċevejna, din l-għażla preferenzjali li tibgħatna bħala missjunarji tal-ħniena u tal-imħabba aħna nkunu xhieda tagħha fost il-poplu għażiż tagħna… Read more »
