Skills – What are you good at? What are your gifts and skills and aptitudes? Not just your qualifications (although these are often relevant) but your gifts of character and personality too. How could you best use all that God has given you and make a difference? How to Discover your vocation – Stephen Wang
X’ifisser il-Milied? Min jaf kemm-il darba iċċelebrajnih! Ħa nieħdu xi aspetti partikolari. Ħa nibdew mis-simboli u li għandna hawn fuq l-artal Il-presepju – huwa immaġini tal-ġenna. Kollox juri paċi, mħabba, fulfiment, mingħajr biki. Hija ikona tal-vizzjoni ta’ Iżaija fejn Alla jimsaħ kull demgħa. It-tarbija fil-paċi. L-għar – huma post fejn igħixu l-baqar, ngħaġ u annimali u jieklu f’maxtura. U Ġesù qed f’maxtura tal-injam. Dak l-istess injam li mbagħad sar is-salib

Maxtura Jista’ jkun li mhux veru twieled f’maxtura Ġesù – hija simbolu..it-twelid ta’ Ġesù sar fi stalla biex jistedinna naħsbu li Ġesù żgur ma twelidx f’xi katidral (m’hemmx paragun)…ma kellux inċens ifuħ, anzi riħa ta’ annimali. Dan kollu jurina s-sempliċità/radikalità ta’ din il-festa. Imma l-maxtura hija ukoll dik li minna jieklu l-annimali…kellha funzjoni oħra – kienet tagħti l-ħajja lil dawk li kienu jieklu minna. U Ġesù f’diversi okkażjonijiet iqabbel lilu

Sar il-ħin. Alla ġej id-dar għalina. Il-Mulej jidħol fl-istorja tal-ħajja tagħna. Niftħulu l-bieb u nħalluh jidħol. Inkomplu f’din il-mixja tagħna f’dawn il-Ħdud tal-Avvent…f’dan iż-żmien ta’ preparazzjoni…mhux preprazzjoni biss għax-xiri tar-rigali, tiżjin, u elf ħaġa oħra, imma wkoll għal ftuħ ta’ qlubna biex bil-liberta sħiħa inħallu lil Alla jkompli jippreparana… Matul dawn l-4 Ħdud tal-Avvent, permezz tal-liturġija, konna qegħdin fi tfitxxija għall-passi u s-sinjali tal-presenza ta’ Alla fil-ħajja tagħna. Fil-fatt fl-ewwel

Admiration – Which people do you admire the most? Is it because of who they are or what they stand for or what they do? What is it about them or their vocation that you have been attracted to? What does it stir up in your own heart? Which person, alive now, would you most like to be? Which saints, from the past, inspire you most? Why? How to Discover
Ħalli lil Alla jaħdem bil-mod tiegħu…ifraħ għax aħna milqugħin u maħbubin minn Alla! Hija liturġija tassew sabiħa u rikka! Il-messaġġ nisrani jissejjaħ “evanġelju”, jiġifieri “bxara tajba”, sejħa għall-ferħ għall-poplu kollu; il-Knisja mhix kenn għall-imdejqin, il-Knisja hija d-dar tal-ferħ! U dawk li huma mdejqin isibu fiha l-ferħ, isibu fiha l-ferħ veru! U nifirħu għax il-miġja tal-Mulej hi fil-qrib. Hekk ukoll igħidilna San Ġakbu fit-tieni qari. “Stabru intom ukoll, qawwu qalbkom, għax

You don’t need to over-analyse your life, looking for conclusive signs in every mood or event. This can become an obsession, and even a superstition, like reading the tea leaves or the horoscopes. When you stand back and take a look at the big picture, perhaps a pattern emerges, and you sense that you are being drawn in a particular direction. Usually, you don’t really need more signs, you just

Din il-ġimgħa, il-biċċa xogħol tagħna, flimkien ma’ Iżaija u Ġwanni l-Battista hija li ngħajtu fid-desert, u li nippreparaw it-triq tal-Mulej, li nagħmlu ħbieb mal-għeddewwa antiki, li npoġġu ħdejn xulxin u naqsmu l-ikel u li nġibu l-paċi fid-dinja. Huwa żmien importanti u serju fejn nikkonvertu d-dinja permezz tal-ġustizzja biex il-paċi issaltan fostna. Lil min jixtieq Alla jressaq viċin, illum? Liema diviżjonijiet/qasmiet nixtiequ li naraw mfejjqa? Forsi wkoll f’pajjiżna…bejn partiti politiċi, bejn

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. Sometimes God does speak to us in clear and dramatic ways, but more often he ‘speaks’ to us in ordinary ways. He guides us through the deepest desires of our hearts (calling us ‘from within’) and the events and circumstances
