AKATHISTOS

È uno tra i più famosi inni che la Chiesa Ortodossa dedica alla Theotokos (Genitrice di Dio). Akathistos si chiama per antonomasia quest'inno liturgico del secolo V, che fu e resta il modello di molte composizioni innografiche e litaniche, antiche e recenti."Akathistos" non è il titolo originario, ma una rubrica:"a-kathistos" in greco significa "non-seduti", perché la Chiesa ingiunge di cantarlo o recitarlo "stando in piedi", come si ascolta il Vangelo, in segno di riverente ossequio alla Madre di Dio

ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

O Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, in this time of trial we turn to you. As our Mother, you love us and know us: no concern of our hearts is hidden from you. Mother of mercy, how often we have experienced your watchful care and your peaceful presence! You never cease to guide us to Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Yet we have strayed from that path of peace. We have forgotten the lesson learned from the tragedies of the last century, the sacrifice of the millions who fell in two world wars. We have disregarded the commitments we made as a community of nations. We have betrayed peoples’ dreams of peace and the hopes of the young. We grew sick with greed, we thought only of our own nations and their interests, we grew indifferent and caught up in our selfish needs and concerns. We chose to ignore God, to be satisfied with our illusions, to grow arrogant and aggressive, to suppress innocent lives and to stockpile weapons. We stopped being our neighbour’s keepers and stewards of our common home. We have ravaged the garden of the earth with war and by our sins we have broken the heart of our heavenly Father, who desires us to be brothers and sisters. We grew indifferent to everyone and everything except ourselves. Now with shame we cry out: Forgive us, Lord!

Holy Mother, amid the misery of our sinfulness, amid our struggles and weaknesses, amid the mystery of iniquity that is evil and war, you remind us that God never abandons us, but continues to look upon us with love, ever ready to forgive us and raise us up to new life. He has given you to us and made your Immaculate Heart a refuge for the Church and for all humanity. By God’s gracious will, you are ever with us; even in the most troubled moments of our history, you are there to guide us with tender love.

We now turn to you and knock at the door of your heart. We are your beloved children. In every age you make yourself known to us, calling us to conversion. At this dark hour, help us and grant us your comfort. Say to us once more: “Am I not here, I who am your Mother?” You are able to untie the knots of our hearts and of our times. In you we place our trust. We are confident that, especially in moments of trial, you will not be deaf to our supplication and will come to our aid.

That is what you did at Cana in Galilee, when you interceded with Jesus and he worked the first of his signs. To preserve the joy of the wedding feast, you said to him: “They have no wine” (Jn 2:3). Now, O Mother, repeat those words and that prayer, for in our own day we have run out of the wine of hope, joy has fled, fraternity has faded. We have forgotten our humanity and squandered the gift of peace. We opened our hearts to violence and destructiveness. How greatly we need your maternal help!

Therefore, O Mother, hear our prayer.

Star of the Sea, do not let us be shipwrecked in the tempest of war.

Ark of the New Covenant, inspire projects and paths of reconciliation.

Queen of Heaven, restore God’s peace to the world.

Eliminate hatred and the thirst for revenge, and teach us forgiveness.

Free us from war, protect our world from the menace of nuclear weapons.

Queen of the Rosary, make us realize our need to pray and to love.

Queen of the Human Family, show people the path of fraternity.

Queen of Peace, obtain peace for our world.

O Mother, may your sorrowful plea stir our hardened hearts. May the tears you shed for us make this valley parched by our hatred blossom anew. Amid the thunder of weapons, may your prayer turn our thoughts to peace. May your maternal touch soothe those who suffer and flee from the rain of bombs. May your motherly embrace comfort those forced to leave their homes and their native land. May your Sorrowful Heart move us to compassion and inspire us to open our doors and to care for our brothers and sisters who are injured and cast aside.

Holy Mother of God, as you stood beneath the cross, Jesus, seeing the disciple at your side, said: “Behold your son” (Jn 19:26). In this way he entrusted each of us to you. To the disciple, and to each of us, he said: “Behold, your Mother” (v. 27). Mother Mary, we now desire to welcome you into our lives and our history. At this hour, a weary and distraught humanity stands with you beneath the cross, needing to entrust itself to you and, through you, to consecrate itself to Christ. The people of Ukraine and Russia, who venerate you with great love, now turn to you, even as your heart beats with compassion for them and for all those peoples decimated by war, hunger, injustice and poverty.

Therefore, Mother of God and our Mother, to your Immaculate Heart we solemnly entrust and consecrate ourselves, the Church and all humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine. Accept this act that we carry out with confidence and love. Grant that war may end and peace spread throughout the world. The “Fiat” that arose from your heart opened the doors of history to the Prince of Peace. We trust that, through your heart, peace will dawn once more. To you we consecrate the future of the whole human family, the needs and expectations of every people, the anxieties and hopes of the world.

Through your intercession, may God’s mercy be poured out on the earth and the gentle rhythm of peace return to mark our days. Our Lady of the “Fiat”, on whom the Holy Spirit descended, restore among us the harmony that comes from God. May you, our “living fountain of hope”, water the dryness of our hearts. In your womb Jesus took flesh; help us to foster the growth of communion. You once trod the streets of our world; lead us now on the paths of peace. Amen.

Rużarju u Talba ta’ konsagrazzjoni tar-Russja u l-Ukrajna lill-Qalb bla Tebgħa ta’ Marija - 25 ta' Marzu 2022

ATT TA’ KONSAGRAZZJONI LILL-QALB BLA TEBGĦA TA’ MARIJA
O Marija, Omm ta’ Alla u Omm tagħna, f’din is-siegħa tat-tiġrib aħna lejk induru. Inti Omm, li tħobbna u tafna: għalik xejn mhu moħbi minn dak li għandna għal qalbna. Omm tal-ħniena, tant drabi aħna doqna l-ħlewwa tiegħek kollha providenza, il-preżenza tiegħek li troddilna s-sliem, għax int dejjem tmexxina lejn Ġesù, il-Prinċep tas-sliem.

Imma aħna tlifna t-triq tal-paċi. Insejnieha l-lezzjoni tat-traġedji tal-aħħar seklu, is-sagrifiċċju tal-miljuni li mietu fil-gwerer dinjija. Warrabna l-impenji li ħadna bħala Komunità tan-Nazzjonijiet u qed nittradixxu l-ħolm tal-popli għall-paċi u t-tamiet taż-żgħażagħ. Imradna bir-regħba, ingħalaqna fl-interessi nazzjonalistiċi tagħna, ħallejna l-indifferenza tnixxfilna qalbna u l-egoiżmu jipparalizzana. Ippreferejna ninjoraw lil Alla, ngħixu mal-qerq tagħna, inħeġġu l-aggressività, nisħqu ħajjiet u nġemmgħu armi, u nsejna li aħna ħarriesa tal-proxxmu tagħna u tal-istess dar komuni. Bil-gwerra aħna ħarbatna l-ġnien tal-Art, bid-dnub weġġajna l-qalb ta’ Alla Missierna, li jridna lkoll aħwa. Sirna indifferenti lejn kulħadd u kollox, ħlief lejna nfusna. U mriegħxa ngħidu: Aħfrilna, Mulej!

Qalb il-miżerja tad-dnub, it-taħbit u d-dgħufijiet tagħna, il-misteru tal-ħażen u tal-gwerra, int, Omm qaddisa, tfakkarna li Alla ma jitlaqniex waħidna, imma jibqa’ jmexxina bi mħabbtu, għax jixtieq jaħfrilna u jerġa’ jerfagħna fuq saqajna. Kien hu li tana lilek u qiegħed fil-Qalb bla tebgħa tiegħek kenn għall-Knisja u għall-umanità. Bi tjieba divina int tinsab magħna, u mqar qalb l-idjeq liwjiet tal-istorja tmexxina bi ħlewwa.

Għalhekk lejk induru, inħabbtu fuq il-bieb tal-Qalb tiegħek, aħna, l-ulied għeżież tiegħek li f’kull żmien int ma tehdiex iżżur u tistieden għall-konverżjoni. F’din is-siegħa mudlama ejja biex tidħol għalina u tfarraġna. Tenni lil kull wieħed u waħda minna: “Forsi mhux hawn qiegħda jiena, l-Omm tiegħek?”. Inti taf kif tħoll l-għoqiedi tal-qalb tagħna u ta’ żmienna. Fik inqiegħdu l-fiduċja tagħna. Aħna żguri li int, speċjalment fis-siegħa tal-prova, ma tistmerrx it-talbiet tagħna u tindukrana.

Hekk għamilt f’Kana tal-Galilija, meta għaġġilt is-siegħa tal-indħil ta’ Ġesù u hekk introduċejt l-ewwel sinjal tiegħu fid-dinja. Meta l-festa kienet għoddha nbidlet fi mrar, int għidtlu: “M’għandhomx inbid” (Ġw 2:3). Tennih dan mill-ġdid lil Alla, ja Omm tagħna, għax illum spiċċalna l-inbid tat-tama, għeb il-ferħ, ġiet fix-xejn il-fraternità. Tlifna l-umanità tagħna, kasbarna l-paċi. Sirna kapaċi għal kull vjolenza u qerda. Għandna bżonn urġenti tal-intervent tiegħek ta’ omm.

Ilqa’, mela, Omm tagħna, din it-talba tagħna.

Int, Kewkba tal-baħar, tħalliniex niġġarrfu fit-tempesta tal-gwerra.

Int, Arka tal-patt il-ġdid, nebbaħ proġetti u toroq ta’ rikonċiljazzjoni.

Int, “art tas-Sema”, reġġa’ lura l-ftehim li jrid Alla fid-dinja.

Eqred il-mibegħda, rażżan il-vendetta, għallimna l-maħfra.

Eħlisna mill-gwerra, ħares lid-dinja mit-theddida nukleari.

Sultana tar-Rużarju, erġa’ qanqal fina l-ħtieġa li nitolbu u li nħobbu.

Sultana tal-familja tal-bnedmin, uri lill-popli t-triq tal-fraternità.

Sultana tal-paċi, ġib il-paċi fid-dinja.

Ja Omm tagħna, ħa jċaqlaq il-biki tiegħek il-qlub iebsa tagħna. Ħa jkun id-dmugħ li għalina xerridt dak li jwarrad mill-ġdid dan il-wied imnixxef mill-mibegħda tagħna. U waqt li l-istorbju tal-armi madwarna ma jehdiex, ħa tkun it-talba tiegħek li ġġibilna l-paċi. B’dirgħajk ta’ omm żiegħel int b’dawk li qed ibatu u jaħarbu taħt il-piż tal-bombi. Bit-tħaddina tiegħek ta’ omm farraġ int lil dawk li jkollhom iħallu djarhom u pajjiżhom. Ħa tkun il-Qalb muġugħa tiegħek li tqanqalna bil-ħniena u ssuqna biex niftħu l-bibien tagħna
u nieħdu ħsieb tal-umanità miġruħa u mormija.
Omm Qaddisa ta’ Alla, xħin kont taħt is-salib, Ġesù, kif lemaħ lid-dixxiplu ħdejk, qallek: “Hawn hu ibnek” (Ġw 19:26): hekk hu fdalek lil kull wieħed u waħda minna. Imbagħad lid-dixxiplu, lil kull wieħed u waħda minna, hu qal: “Hawn hi ommok” (v. 27). Omm tagħna, aħna issa nixtiequ nilqgħuk fil-ħajja tagħna u fl-istorja tagħna. F’din is-siegħa l-umanità, mifnija u mħawda, tinsab miegħek taħt is-salib. U għandha bżonn tafda fik, tikkonsagra ruħha lil Kristu permezz tiegħek. Il-poplu Ukren u l-poplu Russu, li bi mħabba jqimuk, issa jirrikorru għandek, waqt li l-Qalb tiegħek tħabbat għalihom u għall-popli kollha mifnija mill-gwerra, mill-ġuħ, mill-inġustizzja u mill-miżerja.

Aħna, għalhekk, Omm Alla u Omm tagħna, solennement nafdaw u nikkonsagraw lilna nfusna, lill-Knisja u lill-umanità kollha, b’mod speċjali r-Russja u l-Ukrajna, lill-Qalb bla tebgħa tiegħek. Ilqa’ dan l-att tagħna li qed inwettqu b’fiduċja u mħabba, agħmel li tieqaf il-gwerra, rodd il-paċi lid-dinja. L-“Iva” li ħarġet mill-Qalb tiegħek fetħet il-bibien tal-istorja għall-Prinċep tas-sliem; aħna għandna fiduċja mill-ġdid li, permezz tal-Qalb tiegħek, il-paċi għad tasal. Lilek għalhekk nikkonsagraw il-ġejjieni tal-familja umana kollha, il-ħtiġijiet u x-xewqat tal-popli, il-biżgħat u t-tamiet tad-dinja.

Permezz tiegħek ħa tissawwab fuq l-Art il-Ħniena divina, waqt li t-tokki ħelwin tal-paċi jerġgħu jimmarkaw il-jiem tagħna. O Mara tal-“iva”, li fuqek niżel l-Ispirtu s-Santu, reġġa’ fostna l-armonija ta’ Alla. Aqta’ l-għatx tal-qalb tagħna, int li int “għajn ħajja tat-tama”. Int li nsiġt l-umanità ta’ Ġesù, agħmel minna bennejja tal-komunjoni. Int li mxejt fit-toroq tagħna, mexxina tul il-mogħdijiet tas-sliem. Ammen.
