He is with us till the end of time !

Joy is in Our Hearts (Sara Groves)  

We were pressed on every side
full of fear and troubled thoughts
for good reason, we carried heavy hearts

it is good to come together
in our friendship to remember
all the reasons hope is in our hearts

hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength

now with patience in our suffering
perseverance in our prayers
with good reason this hope is in our hearts

hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength

oh we saw the face of Angels
many good things well secured
for good reason this joy is in our hearts

hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength

hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength

The Salesians

Saint John Bosco's love and veneration of Mary, especially under her title "Help of Christians", began early in his life. When he was born, his mother consecrated him to our Lady. When he began his studies for the priesthood, she instructed her son to honor our Blessed Mother and to bring all his difficulties to her. And when he was ordained as a priest, she asked him to take Mary as his Queen. 
As a priest, John Bosco took note of the desperate condition of street children in Turin. Despite strong opposition, including attempts on his life by those who wanted to exploit the children as cheap labor, he founded homes and schools for the children. 
These schools were the basis of the religious society founded by Saint John Bosco, the Society of Saint Francis de Sales (S.S.F .S.). Some time later, the name of the society was changed to Salesians of Don Bosco, or Salesians for short. Salesian priests today continue to work with and educate boys, under the protection of Our Lady, Help of Christians, and of Saint Francis de Sales.
When poor, abandoned girls began to come to his homes for boys, Father John Bosco founded the Figlie di Maria Ausiliatrice (F. M.A.), with the help of Saint Mary Mazzarello, to care for them. In English, this offshoot religious institute is called Daughters of Mary, Help of Christians. 
Perhaps Saint John Bosco's continued devotion to Mary was inspired in part by seeing so vividly the need for a helpful Mother for the children in his care. With his love for Mary and for his fellow man, he would have clearly seen the need for such a Mother for all of us. "The help of God and of Mary will not fail you. ...I recommend devotion to Mary, Help of Christians, and frequent Holy Communion"—these were the words of Saint John Bosco on his deathbed.

24 ta' Mejju
Festa Franġiskana tad-Dedikazzjoni 
tal-Bażilika ta' San Franġisk f 'Assisi. 

Ras u Omm tal-Ordni tal-Minuri 

Kif San Franġisk ta' Assisi kien imxandar b'Qaddis tal-Knisja, nhar is-16 ta' Lulju 1228, il-Papa Girgor IX ried li f'ġieħ il-Missier Serafiku timbena knisja mill-isbaħ fil-Belt ta' Assisi. F'din il-Knisja l-Papa ried li jinżamm il-ġisem ta' San Franġisk. Kien dan l-istess Papa li bierek l-ewwel ġebla tat-tempju, u kien hu wkoll li fis-sena 1230 amar li l-ġisem tal-Qaddis jinġarr mill-knisja ta' San Ġorġ lejn il-Bażilika il-ġdida. Minħabba l-preżenza tal-ġisem tal-Fundatur tal-Minuri fiha, din il-Knisja minnufih kisbet it-titlu ta' Ras u Omm tal-Ordni Franġiskan kollu. Fis-sena 1253 il-Papa Innoċenz IV kkonsagra il-Bażilika, waqt li fl-1754 il-Papa Benedittu XIV għoġbu jaħtarha Bażilika Patrijarkali u Kappella Papali, illum tissejjaħ Bażilika Papali, titlu li jgawduh biss il-Bażiliċi il-kbar ta' Ruma. Nawguraw il-festa t-tajba lil Franġiskani kollha !!!

MAY 24 - DEDICATION OF THE BASILICA OF ST FRANCIS OF ASSISI

Evanġelju
Jien u l-Missier aħna ħaġa waħda.
Ġw 10, 22-30

Qari mill-Evanġelju skont San Ġwann

[Ġw:10:22] F'Ġerusalemm ħabtet il-festa tal-Konsagrazzjoni tat-tempju. [Ġw:10:23] Kienet ix-xitwa, u Ġesù kien miexi minn naħa għal oħra tat-tempju, fil-loġġa ta' Salamun. [Ġw:10:24] Il- Lhud daru miegħu u qalulu: "Kemm se ddum taqlgħalna ruħna? Jekk inti l-Messija għidilna ċar u tond." 

[Ġw:10:25] Weġibhom Ġesù: "Għedtilkom u intom ma temmnux. L-għemejjel li nagħmel jien f'isem Missieri jixhdu għalija. [Ġw:10:26] Iżda intom ma temmnux għax m'intomx min-nagħaġ tiegħi. [Ġw:10:27] In-nagħaġ tiegħi jisimgħu leħni, u jiena nagħrafhom, u huma jimxu warajja. [Ġw:10:28] U jiena nagħtihom il-ħajja ta' dejjem; u huma ma jintilfu qatt, u minn idejja ma jaħtafhomli ħadd. [Ġw:10:29] Missieri, li tahomli, hu akbar minn kulħadd, u ħadd ma jista' jaħtafhom minn id il-Missier. [Ġw:10:30] Jien u l-Missier aħna ħaġa waħda."

Fr. Larry Richards - CONFESSION

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life - Ġesù Hu t-Triq, il-Verità, u l-Ħajja

JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE -  

Who is that father who is ready to send his only

son to die to save others ? Only God knows.  

BUT if you were a god and you had all the

power in your hands...would you still send your

only son ? - God still did...starting by waiting for

the consent of a human woman - Mary...to be

born within a poor family nucleus - a refugee

couple - man and a woman; having emotions 

like any person (but never giving in to sin) ---

 being cared for; experiencing joy, laughter,

temptation, hard manual work, thirst, hunger,

sweat. He was moved with compassion for

others, he cried; he endured physical

pain...even teething and losing his baby

teeth...but Jesus also experienced psychological

suffering - he was bullied, harassed, ridiculed,

hated; endured sadness, loneliness,

abandonment, disappointment, failure, torture;

he was spitted at, rejected, deceitfully accused,

crucified, killed, even experienced the coldness

of a tomb...and he is the Son of God - He could

have escaped any kind of death just like other

times (Luke 4:14-30) - AND YET, HE PAID BACK

WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION, TEACHING AND

REVEALING THE DECEIT OF THE DEVIL, EVEN

BY BOWING DOWN TO HIS OWN

HUMAN DEATH...

Philippians 2:6-8

6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.

8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!

 - He is an obedient and loyal Son of God - He is

God; He conquered death, He is with us, He is

in us especially every time we receive Holy

Communion...HE IS THE EVER LOVING,

HUMBLE PERSON WHO LOVES YOU...IN AN

AUTHENTIC WAY...WITH ALL YOUR

WEAKNESSES...SO THAT YOUR CHANGE IN HIM

WILL REFLECT HIS GLORY AND

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE TO OTHERS - GLORY BE

TO GOD THE FATHER AND TO THE SON AND TO

THE HOLY SPIRIT - THE HOLY TRINITY AMEN !!!

Ħdejn Fatima dehret l-Omm tagħna Marija,

Liċ-ċkejkna tliet rgħajja, tfal safja w għaqlija.

 

 

Rit: Ave, Ave, Ave Marija x2

 

“Sinjura Żagħżugħa” imdawra bid-dija,

Bil-ġmiel u bil-ħlewwa tas-sema mogħnija. Rit:

 

Ilbiesha bajdani, jgħattilha riġlejha,

Kuruna sabiħa, imdendla f’idejha. Rit:

 

“Min fejn inti ġejja?”, staqsietek Luċija :

“Is-Sema pajjiżi”, weġibt, o Marija. Rit:

 

Għidtilhom jitolbu għall-midneb, għall-ħati

Biex jibdel fis ħajtu, u le jmur ibati. Rit:

 

Dik qalbek urejthom bil-grazzja mimlija

Bl-imrar u bin-niket, tal-ħżiena mifnija. Rit:

 

Int ridthom ibatu, sabiex ipattulek

Għal dik il-moħqrija li l-kiefra jagħmlulek. Rit:

       

Kastigi tal-biża’, dhert Int biex tħabbrilna,

Li mħabba ħtijietna, ilkoll jistħoqqilna. Rit:

 

B’dan ridt fina tqanqal mibegħda għall-ħtija,

Li magħha ġġib fuqna hemm, biki w tbatija. Rit:

 

Imbierek Missierna li tam’ oħra tana,

f’dik qalbek bla tebgħa, wisq ħelwa w setgħana. Rit:

 

Għemil ta’ tpattija, int tlabtna nagħmlulek

Biex qalbek imnikkta, bl-imħabba nfarrġulek. Rit:

 

Biex lilek ġieħ nagħtu O xebba, Omm, Sidtna

Li ngħidu r-Rużarju kuljum inti ridtna. Rit:

 

“Teħtieġ penitenza” Int fl-aħħar wissejtna;

Hekk biss jistħoqqilna il-ħniena li wrejtna. Rit: 

 

O Sidt tar-Rużarju, O ħelwa, O pija.

Għas-sema mexxina, Omma tagħna Marija. Rit:
