Lil min jixtieq Alla jressaq viċin, illum?

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 […]

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. 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

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. Jista’ jkun li nqbadna fit-timetables tagħna u sirna inqas sensittivi għal dak li qiegħed jiġri madwarna? Forsi tant aħna busy li hemm bżonn ta’ ftit riflessjoni. Niftakru

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.

Il-ħajja tiegħek qiegħdha f’idejn Alla, u xejn ma għandu jinkwetana

Huwa qari li jista’ jħawwadna…għax jissemmew ħafna affarijiet li ukoll jimlewna b’ċerta biża. Imma hemm diversi punti ta’ riflessjoni li jgħinuna f’dan kollu. Luqa jippreżentalna lil Ġesù bħala l-profeta, li kapaċi jaqra s-sinjali taż-żminijiet. Li joffrilna pariri mimlijin għerf u b’ħafna insight kif għandna naġixxu fiż-żmien diffiċli. Fil-fatt jekk naqraw b’attenzjoni l-Evanġelju, Ġesù qiegħed jiskoraġġixi lil dawk li qegħdin jipprovaw jikkalkulaw t-tmiem fuq il-bażi ta’ fenomini viżibli.  Huwa ma hux

Vocation as a call to be the unique person you are made to be

Vocation as a call to be the unique person you are made to be – There is yet another level to ‘vocation’. 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
