F’lejl ta’ xitwa ġewwa Betlem
“F’lejl ta’ xitwa ġewwa Betlem…” Le! Mhux iżjed f’Betlehem… jew tal-anqas mhux f’Betlehem biss. M’għadux jitwieled F’Betlehem biss. Fil-Milied ma nfakkrux twelidu hemm biss. Dak kien elfejn sena ilu, avveniment tal-passat, parti minn żminijiet oħra… jew għadu żmienu? Ma nafx eżatt. Għax niġi bejn ħaltejn. Inħares fit-twieqi, fil-vetrini, fil-knejjes u fid-djar, u nilmaħ il-presepji u l-bambini mixgħulin, b’ilbies u b’dehriet ta’ żminijiet mbiegħda… Imma mbagħad naqla’ ħarsti minn fuq il-Bambin u l-presepju fit-twieqi jew fuq l-altar, u ndur lejn…

Calendar… but not only !
Christmas lights, decorations, staff parties, Christmas carols, delicious food…. How easy it is for one to only tick the to-do list of external, artificial things in preparation for Christmas and forget what the time of Advent really is.
“Advent is a journey towards Bethlehem. May we let ourselves be drawn by the light of God made man” (tweet of Pope Francis on 21/12/13). Advent is not Christmas, thus to borrow from this tweet, Advent is not focusing on Bethlehem, it…
Diġa għaddew ħmistax!!
Diġa għaddew ħmistax!! Hekk bdejt ngħid miegħi innifsi filwaqt li naħseb minn dak kollu li għaddejt dawn l-aħħar ġimgħatejn. L-għada tad-9 ta’ Novembru, ħsibt li qed noħlom ħolma, iżda ma kinetx. Il-parruċċani, sħabi fost oħrajn, iħarsu lejja u jitbissmu x’ħin jarawni liebes ftit differenti, imma kont u għadni nħossni li bqajt l-istess persuna. Għalkemm bqajt bil-karrattru tiegħi, nemmen li l-Mulej qed jaħdem permezz tal-faqar tiegħi. Fija nħoss dik ir-responsabilta’ ta’ dak kollu lil wegħdt lil Alla quddiem l-Isqof u…
Lura l-Università
Wara li konna diġa lestejna l-kors tagħna ġewwa l-universita` u kellna wkoll ix-xogħol tagħna, il-Mulej sejħilna biex nimxu warajĦ għal din il-mixja ta’ formazzjoni ġewwa s-Seminarju. Din il-mixja talbet minna li nieqfu mix-xogħol li kellna u nerġgħu nibdew kors ieħor ġewwa l-universta`.
Il-kors li għandna kif bdejna huwa totalment differenti minn dak li konna għamilna qabel. Aħna konna segwejna korsijiet b’temi xjentifiċi, filwaqt li issa qed nsegwu kors fil-Filosofija u t-Teologija. Id-differenza fil-korsijiet tinħass għax dan huwa kors li sakemm…
