Dear brothers and sisters, buongiorno!

To help her cousin Elizabeth, and there she proclaims the joyful canticle of the Magnificat… Read more »

Għeżież ħuti, il-jum it-tajjeb!
Illum l-Evanġelju jirrakkuntalna miraklu partikolari ta’ Ġesù. Billejl, Hu jimxi fuq l-ilma tal-għadira tal-Galilija biex jiltaqa’ mad-dixxipli li qed jaqsmu min-naħa għall-oħra bid-dagħjsa (cfr (Mt 14, 22-33). Insaqsu: għaliex għamel hekk Ġesù? Biex jagħmel spettaklu? Le! Allura għaliex? Forsi minħabba xi ħtieġa urġenti u imprevedibbli, biex jgħin lil tiegħu li jinsabu mwaħħlin minħabba r-riħ kontra? Le, iżda għaliex kien Hu li fassal kollox, li qalilhom biex jitilqu billejl u saħansitra – jgħidilna t-test – “ġagħalhom” (cfr v… Read more »

“Fittxu l-ewwel is-Saltna ta’ Alla.” Din il-frażi mill-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna, li qara l-Arċipriet mill-Evanġelju skont San Mattew, tiġbor l-ispiritwalità ta’ San Gejtanu. Huwa messaġġ li intom tant intom midħla tiegħu għaliex f’ħafna ikonografija ta’ San Gejtanu din il-kelma ‘quaerite regnum Dei’ jew inkella ‘fittxu s-saltna ta’ Alla’ insibuha prattikament dejjem u kullimkien.
