Kienet tassew okkażjoni sabiħa li, flimkien ma’ numru sabiħ ta’ seminaristi oħra, kont preżenti għall-kanonizzazzjoni ta’ Ġwanni XXIII u Ġwanni Pawlu II fi pjazza San Pietru, Ruma fis-27 ta’ April 2014! Hemmekk, flimkien ma’ eluf ta’ nies li kienu preżenti fil-pjazza, għexna dak il-mument tant sabiħ ta’ meta l-Papa Franġisku ddikjara lil dawn iż-żewġ Papiet kbar qaddisin. Xħin il-Papa qara r-rit tal-kanonizzazzjoni, il-briju tal-ġemgħa nstema’ jidwi mal-pjazza kollha !
It-toroq ta’ Ruma laqgħu nies mill-ħames kontinenti għal dan l-avveniment u…

L-Għid it-Tajjeb!
Dan huwal-lejl li fih Kristu
qered il-jasar tal-mewt
u qam rebbieħ fuq is-setgħat tal-ħażen.
Xi ħniena tal-għaġeb għoġbok turi magħna!
Xi mħabba u għożża liema bħalha,
biex tajt lil Ibnek stess għall-mewt
ħalli tifdi lil min kien ilsir!
(Silta mit-Tħabbira tal-Għid, attribwita lil S. Wistin u li titkanta f’Sibt il-Għid)
Respecting Rights and Dignity of Women
Pope Francis invites peoples of different faiths to come together and pray, the intention for the month of March being:
That all cultures may respect the rights and dignity of women.
Getting started:
As I sit down comfortably I try to calm down. I thank God for the people who accompany me in my daily life. I take time to give thanks to God for each and everyone of them.
Short story:
Rachael and Anne were twin sisters. But Rachael…
Ħames żgħażagħ itennu “Hawn Jien”
Nhar il-Ġimgħa 14 ta’ Marzu ħames seminaristi għamlu l-ewwel pass uffiċċjali fil-mixja tagħhom ta’ formazzjoni lejn is-saċerdozju fiċ-ċerimonja tal-Kandidatura.
Fil-Bibbja naraw kif Alla jsejjaħ diversi persuni b’isimhom biex jafdalhom missjoni f’idejhom. Ħafna drabi, wara li jkunu ħasbuha sew, narawhom iwieġbu għas-sejħa li jkun għamlilhom il-Mulej bil-kelmiet “Hawn Jien”.
Fit-tweġiba għas-sejħa tiegħu, is-seminarista ukoll jasal mument fejn b’mod pubbliku quddiem il-Knisja, ilissen il-kelmiet “Hawn Jien”. Din it-tweġiba però tikkonsisti f’diversi “tarġiet”, li wara xulxin ikomplu jippreparaw lis-seminarista biex eventwalment isir saċerdot skont…

A Liberating and an Enriching Poverty
In this third part of the Leenten Message by Pope Francis, we dwell further on Christ’s poverty and on how this can set us free and enrich us. The text in Maltese can be viewed here.
So what is this poverty by which Christ frees us and enriches us? It is his way of loving us, his way of being our neighbour, just as the Good Samaritan was neighbour to the man left half dead by the side of…
X’Għandi Nagħmel?
Ġieli staqsejt lilek innifsek jekk Alla jixtieqx xi ħaġa speċjali mingħandek? Ġieli ħassejt xewqa ġewwa fik li bħal donnu tixtieq li ħajtek toffriha għas-servizz tal-oħrajn? Ġieli staqsejt: “X’għandi nagħmel?”
Jekk iva, qegħdin nistednuk b’mod speċjali sabiex tiġi għal dan il-live-in li ser isir bejn it-18 u d-19 ta’ Marzu. Nistednuk sabiex tiġi tara, tistaqsi, tisma’, u fuq kollox, tagħmel din l-esperjenza ta’ jumejn magħna s-seminaristi. Min jaf, forsi ssib risposta għal dak li qiegħed tistaqsi dwaru u għal dak li…
Sinjal ta’ qlubija
It-Tnejn, 10 ta’ Marzu, 2014. L-Arċisqof Emeritu Ġużeppi Mercieca, għat-tielet darba, jerġa’ jagħżel il-komunità tas-Seminarju sabiex jiċċelebra l-anniversarju tal-ordinazzjoni Presbiterali tiegħu ; din is-sena, it-62 wieħed!
Għalina s-seminaristi kif ukoll għall-animaturi tagħna, okkażjoni bħal din tfisser ħafna b’mod speċjali l-preżenza…
Authentic poverty
In this second of a series of reflections from the Pope’s Message for Lent 2014, we shall be focusing on the mystery of God – made – Man. For in the act of incarnation, God gave us the example par excellence of authentic poverty. You can read the same reflection in Maltese here.
Christ’s grace
First of all, it shows us how God works. He does not reveal himself cloaked in worldly power and wealth but rather in weakness and…
