Brother David Steindl-Rast: Want to be happy? Be grateful
The one thing all humans have in common is that each of us wants to be happy, says Brother David Steindl-Rast, a monk and interfaith scholar. And happiness, he suggests, is born from gratitude. An inspiring lesson in slowing down, looking where you're going, and above all, being grateful.

NOVEMBER 21 - The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Evanġelju
Medd idu lejn id-dixxipli tiegħu u qal:"Dawn, araw, huma ommi u ħuti!"
--- My mother and my brothers are anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven ---
Qari mill-Evanġelju skont San Mattew
F'dak iż-żmien, [Mt:12:46] Kif Ġesù kien għadu qiegħed ikellem lin-nies,
ġew ommu u ħutu, waqfu barra u fittxew li jkellmuh. [Mt:12:47] Xi ħadd
qallu: "Ara, ommok u ħutek qegħdin barra jfittxu li jkellmuk
."[Mt:12:48] Iżda hu wieġeb lil dak li kellmu, u qallu: "Min hi ommi? U
min huma ħuti?"
[Mt:12:49] Mbagħad medd idu lejn id-dixxipli tiegħu u qal: "Dawn, araw,
huma ommi u ħuti. [Mt:12:50] Għax kull min jagħmel ir-rieda ta' Missieri
li hu fis-smewwiet, dak huwa ħija, u oħti, u ommi."

Qari I
Żak 2, 14-17
Qari mill-Ktieb tal-Profeta Żakkarija
Għajjat bil-ferħ u nfexx fil-hena, bint Sijon, għaliex arani ġej biex ngħammar f’nofsok din kelma tal-Mulej, u kotra kbira ta’ ġnus jingħaqdu dakinhar mal-Mulej; u huma jkunu l-poplu tiegħi. U jiena ngħammar f’nofsok; imbagħad inti tagħraf li l-Mulej tal-eżerċti bagħatni għandek.
U l-Mulej jieħu lil Ġuda bħala sehmu mill-wirt fl-art imqaddsa, u jerġa’ jaħtar ’il Ġerusalemm. Żommu s-skiet quddiem il-Mulej, intom il-ħajjin kollha, għax hu stenbaħ mill-għamara mqaddsa tiegħu!
Il-Kelma tal-Mulej.
R/. Irroddu ħajr lil Alla.
Salm Responsorjali
Lq 1:46-55
R/. Hienja int, Verġni Marija, li ġibt fid-dinja ’l Bin il-Missier etern!
Ruħi tfaħħar il-kobor tal-Mulej,
u l-ispirtu tiegħi jifraħ f’Alla s-salvatur tiegħi,
għax hu xeħet għajnejh fuq iċ-ċokon tal-qaddejja tiegħu.
Iva, minn issa ’l quddiem kull nisel jibda jsejjaħli hienja. R/.
Għax is-Setgħani għamel miegħi ħwejjeġ kbar;
qaddis hu l-isem tiegħu.
Il-ħniena tiegħu tinfirex f’kull żmien
fuq dawk li jibżgħu minnu. R/.
Hu wera l-qawwa ta’ driegħu,
xerred ’il dawk li huma mkabbra f’qalbhom.
Niżżel is-setgħana minn fuq it-tron tagħhom,
u għolla ċ-ċkejknin.
Mela b’kull ġid ’il min hu bil-ġuħ,
u l-għonja bagħathom ’il barra b’xejn. R/.
Ħa ħsieb Israel qaddej tiegħu,
għax ftakar fil-ħniena tiegħu
bħalma wiegħed ’il missirijietna
b’risq Abraham u nislu għal dejjem. R/.
Akklamazzjoni qabel l-Evanġelju
Lq 1: 28
R/. Hallelujah.
Hienja dawk li jisimgħu l-kelma ta’ Alla u jħarsuha.
R/. Hallelujah.
Evanġelju
Mt 12: 46-50

The Symphony and the Static
Spirit Juice Studios is proud to present our first video filmed completely on the RED Epic camera. The visual is a collection of images that communicate the very essence of Fr. Pontifex's new album "The Symphony and The Static". The Overture, the title of this track on the album, is the introduction to an album that is full of many different sounds, ideas and thoughts that speak about the tension and drama of human life. We all experience the tension of joy and pain, hope and sadness, and peace and violence.
Sometimes life is harmonious and makes so much sense and other times it seems very chaotic and we struggle to find meaning in our suffering. The symphony is constantly lifting us up but the static tries to pull us down. Fr. Pontifex writes from the unique perspective of a Catholic priest, one who has experienced and walked with people through many different monumental events in life. It truly is a unique album that is worth listening to.

Evanġelju
Jekk tibqgħu sħaħ sal-aħħar issalvaw ħajjitkom.
Lq 21, 5-19
Qari mill-Evanġelju skont San Luqa
F’dak iż-żmien, [Lq:21:5] kien hemm xi wħud li bdew jgħidu fuq kemm it-tempju kien imżejjen b'ġebel sabiħ u għotjiet; iżda Ġesù qalilhom: [Lq:21:6] "Kull ma qegħdin taraw, għad jiġi żmien li ma tibqax ġebla fuq oħra minnu li ma tiġġarrafx."
[Lq:21:7] U huma staqsewh u qalulu: "Mgħallem, issa dan meta għad jiġri? U x'se jkun is-sinjal li dawn il-ħwejjeġ ikunu waslu biex iseħħu?" [Lq:21:8] Qalilhom: "Araw li ma titqarrqux. Għax għad jiġu ħafna f'ismi u jgħidu, 'Jien hu,' u, 'Iż-żmien wasal.' Tmorrux warajhom! [Lq:21:9] Meta tisimgħu min jitkellem fuq gwerer u taqlib fil-pajjiżi, tinħasdux għax jeħtieġ li l-ewwel jiġri dan, iżda t-tmiem ma jasalx minnufih."
[Lq:21:10] Mbagħad qalilhom: "Għad iqum ġens kontra ġens u saltna kontra saltna, [Lq:21:11] l-art titheżheż bil-kbir, f'ħafna bnadi jkun hemm il-ġuħ u mard li jittieħed, u fis-sema jidhru ħwejjeġ tal-biża' u sinjali ta' l-għaġeb.
[Lq:21:12] Imma qabel dan kollu jixħtu idejhom fuqkom u jippersegwitawkom, jagħtukom f'idejn il-mexxejja tas-sinagoga u jitfgħukom il-ħabs, u jeħdukom quddiem slaten u gvernaturi minħabba f'ismi. [Lq:21:13] Dan ikun jiswielkom biex tistgħu tagħtu xhieda. [Lq:21:14] U żommu sewwa f'moħħkom: toqogħdux taħsbu minn qabel kif se tiddefendu ruħkom, [Lq:21:15] għax jien nagħtikom kliem u għerf li kull min ikun kontra tagħkom ma jkunx jista' jiqaflu jew imerih. [Lq:21:16] U jittradukom saħansitra l-ġenituri tagħkom u ħutkom u qrabatkom u ħbiebkom, u lil xi wħud minnkom joqtluhom, [Lq:21:17] u kulħadd isir jobgħodkom minħabba f'ismi. [Lq:21:18] Imma xagħra waħda minn raskom ma tintilifx. [Lq:21:19] Jekk tibqgħu sħaħ sa l-aħħar issalvaw ħajjitkom!

Lk 20:27-38 -- The Resurrection and Marriage - Il-qawmien mill-imwiet - 32 Ħadd ta' matul is-sena C
Il-qawmien mill-imwiet
(Mt 22, 23-33 ; Mk 12, 18-27)
[Lq:20:27] Mela resqu fuqu xi wħud mis-Sadduċej, dawk li jiċħdu l-qawmien mill-imwiet, u staqsewh: [Lq:20:28] "Mgħallem," qalulu,"Mosè ħallielna miktub, 'Jekk wieħed imutlu ħuh miżżewweġ u dan ikun bla tfal, dak ikollu jiżżewweġ l-armla biex inissel ulied lil ħuh.' [Lq:20:29] Issa jkun hemm sebat aħwa, u l-kbir iżżewweġ u miet bla tfal. [Lq:20:30] It-tieni wieħed, [Lq:20:31] u mbagħad it-tielet, f'kelma waħda, is-sebgħa li kienu, ħadu l-armla, u mietu bla ma ħallew tfal. [Lq:20:32] Fl-aħħar mietet il-mara wkoll. [Lq:20:33] Issa din, fil-qawmien ta' l-imwiet, mart min minnhom tkun? Għax is-sebgħa jkunu żżewwġuha." [Lq:20:34] Weġibhom Ġesù: "Il-bnedmin f'din id-dinja jiżżewwġu u jżewwġu; [Lq:20:35] imma dawk li jkun jistħoqqilhom jgħaddu għad-dinja l-oħra u jqumu mill-imwiet, dawn la jżewwġu u lanqas jiżżewwġu. [Lq:20:36] Għax anqas jistgħu jmutu iżjed, għaliex ikunu bħall-anġli, u huma wlied Alla ladarba qamu mill-imwiet. [Lq:20:37] U li l-mejtin iqumu, Mosè wkoll urieh, fir-rakkont tax-xitla ta' l-għollieq, għax lill-Mulej isejjaħlu Alla ta' Abraham, Alla ta' Iżakk, u Alla ta' Ġakobb. [Lq:20:38] Issa hu m'huwiex Alla tal-mejtin, iżda tal-ħajjin, għax għalih kulħadd jgħix."

Pope Francis: God is merciful, He remembers everyone --- Lk 19:1-10 -- Zacchaeus the Tax Collector - Ġesù u Żakkew
19. Ġesù u Żakkew
[Lq:19:1] Ġesù daħal Ġeriko u kien għaddej mit-triq. [Lq:19:2] Mela jkun hemm raġel, jismu Żakkew; dan kien wieħed mill-kapijiet tal-pubblikani, u kien għani. [Lq:19:3] Kellu xewqa li jara min kien Ġesù, imma ma setax minħabba l-folla, billi kien raġel qasir. [Lq:19:4] Għalhekk mar jiġri 'l quddiem u xxabbat ma' siġra tat-tin selvaġġ, għax minn dik in-naħa kien se jgħaddi. [Lq:19:5] Ġesù, kif wasal hemm, ħares 'il fuq u qallu: "Żakkew, isa, inżel minn hemm, għax illum jeħtieġli noqgħod għandek." [Lq:19:6] Dak niżel bla telf ta' żmien, u kollu ferħan laqgħu għandu. [Lq:19:7] In-nies, meta rawh, lkoll bdew igemgmu bejniethom u jgħidu li għand wieħed midneb daħal jistrieħ. [Lq:19:8] Imma Żakkew, wieqaf, qal lill-Mulej: "Ara, Mulej, nofs ġidi se nagħtih lill-foqra, u jekk jien qarraqt b'xi ħadd inroddlu għal erba' darbiet iżjed." [Lq:19:9] Qallu Ġesù: "F'din id-dar illum daħlet is-salvazzjoni, għax dan ir-raġel ukoll huwa bin Abraham. [Lq:19:10] Għax Bin il-bniedem ġie jfittex u jsalva l-mitluf."
