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.

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!
