Gospel of the day – 11th May

When that day comes, you will not ask me any questions. In all truth I tell you, anything you ask from the Father he will grant in my name. Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and so your joy will be complete. I have been telling you these things in veiled language. The hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in veiled language but tell you about the Father in plain words. When that day comes you will ask in my name; and I do not say that I shall pray to the Father for you, because the Father himself loves you for loving me, and believing that I came from God. I came from the Father and have come into the world and now I am leaving the world to go to the Father.’

The Saint of the day: St Ignatius of Laconi

F’dak il-jum xejn ma tistaqsuni. Tassew tassew ngħidilkom, kull ma titolbu lil Missieri f’ismi jagħtihulkom.  Sa issa ma tlabtu xejn f’ismi. Itolbu u taqilgħu, biex il-ferħ tagħkom ikun sħiħ. “Dan għedthulkom bit-tixbihat. Għad tasal siegħa meta ma nkellimkomx aktar bit-tixbihat, imma bil-miftuħ inħabbrilkom dwar il-Missier.  Dakinhar intom titolbu f’ismi, u ma ngħidilkomx li jien nitlob lill-Missier għalikom, għax il-Missier stess iħobbkom, billi intom ħabbejtu lili u emmintu li jiena ġejt mingħand Alla. Ħriġt mingħand il-Missier u ġejt fid-dinja. Se nerġa’ nħalli d-dinja u mmur għand il-Missier.”
