Lil min jixtieq Alla jressaq viċin, illum?

Din il-Ä¡imgħa, il-biÄ‹Ä‹a xogħol tagħna, flimkien ma’ Iżaija u Ä wanni l-Battista hija li ngħajtu fid-desert, u li nippreparaw it-triq tal-Mulej, li nagħmlu ħbieb mal-għeddewwa antiki, li npoÄ¡Ä¡u ħdejn xulxin u naqsmu l-ikel u li nÄ¡ibu l-paÄ‹i fid-dinja. Huwa żmien importanti u serju fejn nikkonvertu d-dinja permezz tal-Ä¡ustizzja biex il-paÄ‹i issaltan fostna. Lil min jixtieq Alla jressaq viÄ‹in, illum? Liema diviżjonijiet/qasmiet nixtiequ li naraw mfejjqa? Forsi wkoll f’pajjiżna…bejn partiti politiÄ‹i, bejn […]

God ‘speaks’ to us in ordinary ways

Christians talk about how God ‘calls’ us to do something, and perhaps we think this means that one day we will literally hear a voice telling us what to do.

Wake up Call!

Qegħdin nibdew sena liturġika ġdida. Ġie Avvent ieħor. Dan l-Avvent jinkoraġġina biex immorru lura għal din il-ħerqa u tfixxija li qarbitna lejn Alla. Dan iż-żmien ġdid jagħmlilna l-mistoqsija: hemm xi ħaġa fija jew f’ħajti li huwa neċesarju bidu ġdid? Din hija wake-up call.

It is a journey that involves patience, honesty, perseverance…

The word ‘discernment’ is used to describe the whole process by which we listen to God and listen to our own hearts, gradually coming to know who God is calling us to be and where he is leading us. It is not something we just decide to do one afternoon, like baking a cake or watching a film. It is a journey that involves patience, honesty, perseverance, generosity, courage, and

Each vocation is a call to follow Christ

Each vocation is a call to follow Christ – The lifestyle and demands of each particular vocation are very different, but there are some common threads. Each vocation is a commitment to love in a certain way and to draw closer to others – whether that closeness is through marriage or service or prayer. Each vocation challenges us to live our faith more deeply and to follow Christ more closely.

Each saint is unique, and you are called to be holy not just in a general way, but in the particular way that God has made you to be. God created you as a unique individual, and calls you by a name that no-one else has been given.

aħna importanti għaliex aħna wlied Alla

Twaqqa’ għaċ-ċajt u status Is-silta tal-Evanġelu ta’ dan il-Ħadd turina grupp ta’ Saduċej jargumentaw ma’ Ġesù, li kienet xi ħaġa tipika, fejn jikkwotaw silta biblika kontra silta oħra.  Is-Saduċej użaw teknika komuni fejn twaqqa’ għaċ-ċajt il-pożizzjoni tal-ieħor.  Hemmhekk wieħed ma jkunux qed jieħu bis-serjetà l-punto di vista li jkun qed jesprimi ruħu, u lanqas ikun hemm smigħ veru ta’ dak li ħaddieħor qed jesprimi.

Vocation as a call to a concrete ‘state of life’

Vocation as a call to a concrete ‘state of life’ – Christ has always called some people to follow him in concrete ways, by giving them a more specific vocation. In previous generations, the word ‘vocation’ would only have been used to describe the lives of priests and religious – because these people had in some sense been called ‘away’ from an ordinary life to a life of celibacy and
