Parafrasi tat-talba tal-Missierna ta' San Frangisk / Paraphrase of Our Father by St Francis

Parafrasi tat-talba tal-Missierna ta' San Frangisk Missierna: 

l-aktar Qaddis, Hallieq, Feddej, Konsolatur u Salvatur taghna. Li inti fis-smewwiet: fl-angli u l-qaddisin, iddawwalhom biex jaghrfuk, ghax inti, Mulej, int Dawl; theggighom biex ihobbuk, ghax int, Mulej, int Imhabba; tghammar fihom u tfawwarhom bil-hena, ghax int, Mulej, int l-oghla tjieba,tjieba bla tmiem, il-bidu ta’ kull tjieba u minghajrek m’hemm l-ebda tjieba. Jitqaddes ismek: Jalla l-gharfien tieghek fina jsir aktar car, biex inkunu nistghu naghrfu, il-wisa’ tat-tjieba tieghek, it-tul tal-weghdiet tieghek, l-gholi tal-kobor tieghek u l-fond tal-gudizzji tieghek. Tigi Saltnatek: Halli ssaltan fina bil-grazzja tieghek, u thaffifna biex naslu ghas-saltna tieghek, fejn hemm naraw id-dehra cara tieghek, l-imhabba perfetta tieghek, l-ghaqda hienja mieghek, u t-tgawdija bla tmiem tieghek, Ikun li trid int kif fis-sema hekkda fl-art: Biex inhobbuk b’qalbna kollha billi nahsbu dejjem fik; b’ruhna kollha billi dejjem nixtiquk; b’mohhna kollu, billi ndawru fehmietna lejk, u billi nfittxu f’kollox il-glorja tieghek; b’sahhitna kollha, billi nhaddmu l-qawwiet u s-setghat kollha ta’ ruhna u ta’ gisimna f’xejn aktar hlief fil-qadi ta’ mhabbtek. Biex inhobbu lil qrabatna bhalna nfusna billi b’hilitna kollha nigbduhom ilkoll lejn imhabbtek. Billi nifirhu bil-gid ta’ l-ohrajn daqslikieku taghna, billi nsofru ma’ l-ohrajn fit-tigrib u billi ma nweggghu lil hadd. Hobzna ta’ kuljum: l-ghaziz Ibnek, il-Mulej taghna Gesù Kristu. Aghtina llum: b’tifkira, b’fehma u b’qima ta’ dik l-imhabba li kellu ghalina u ghal kull ma qal u ghamel u bata ghalina. Ahfrilna Dnubietna: Ghal hnientek li ma titfissirx bil-kliem, bil-qawwa tal-passjoni ta’ Ibnek il-ghaziz u ghall-merti u t-talb ta’ l-Imqaddsa Vergni Marija u tal-maghzulin tieghek kollha. Bhalma nahfru lil min hu hati ghalina: u dak kollu li ahna ma jirnexxilniex nahfru aghmel, Mulej, li nahfru ghal kollox. Biex hekk, ghal imhabbtek inhobbu tassew lill-ghedewwa taghna u biex bil-hegga kollha nidhlu ghalihom quddiemek, bla ma nroddu lil hadd deni b’deni imma naghmlu hilitna biex fik naghmlu l-gid lil kulhadd. La ddahhalniex fit-tigrib: mistur jew maghruf, li jigi f’salt jew li jissokkta. Izda ehlisna mid-deni: ta’ l-imghoddi, t’issa u ta’ li gej. Ammen

The Paraphrase of the Our Father

O Our Father most holy:
Our Creator, Redeemer, Consoler, and Saviour

Who are in heaven:
In the angels and the saints,
enlightening them to know, for You, Lord, are light;
inflaming them to love, for You, Lord, are love;
dwelling in them and filling them with happiness,
for You are Supreme Good, the Eternal Good,
from Whom all good comes,
without Whom there is no good.

Holy be Your Name:
May knowledge of You become clearer in us
that we may know
the breadth of Your blessings,
the length of Your promises,
the height of Your majesty,
the depth of Your judgments.

Your kingdom come:
That You may rule in us through Your grace
and enable us to come to Your kingdom
where there is clear vision of You,
perfect love of You,
blessed companionship with You,
eternal enjoyment of You.

Your will be done on earth as in heaven:
That we may love You
with our whole heart by always thinking of you,
with our whole soul by always desiring You,
with our whole mind by always directing all our intentions to You,
and by seeking Your glory in everything,
with all our whole strength by exerting
all our energies and affections of body and soul
in service of Your love and of nothing else;
and we may love our neighbours as ourselves
by drawing them all to Your love with our whole strength,
by rejoicing in the good of others as in our own,
by suffering with others at their misfortunes,
and by giving offence to no one.

Give us this day:
in remembrance, understanding, and reverence
of that love which (our Lord Jesus Christ) had for us
and of those things that He said and did and suffered for us.

Our daily bread:
Your own beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Forgive us our trespasses:
through Your ineffable mercy,
through the power of the passion of Your beloved Son
and through the merits and intercession
of the ever-blessed Virgin and all Your elect.

As we forgive those who trespass against us:
And what we do not completely forgive,
make us, Lord, forgive completely
that we may truly love our enemies because of You
and we fervently intercede for them before You,
returning no one evil for evil;
and we strive to help everyone in You.

And lead us not into temptation:
hidden or obvious,
sudden or persistent.

But deliver us from evil:
past,
present,
and to come.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.

Amen.

2009 - The Album ALMA MATER (featuring the voice of POPE BENEDICT XVI)




La fede è amore e perciò crea poesia e crea musica. La fede è gioia, perciò crea bellezza.

Le cattedrali non sono monumenti medioevali, ma case di vita, dove ci sentiamo “a casa”; incontriamo Dio e ci incontriamo uno l’altra.

La grande musica, il gregoriano, o Bach o Mozart,nella chiesa non sono cose del passato, ma vivono della vitalità della liturgia e della nostra fede.

Se la fede è viva, la cultura cristiana non diventa “passato”, ma rimane viva e presente.

E se la fede è viva, anche oggi possiamo rispondere all’imperativo che si ripete sempre di nuovo nei Salmi “Cantate al Signore un cantico nuovo !”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Auxilium Christianorum featuring the voice of POPE BENEDICT XVI


Quando si recita il Rosario si rivivono i momenti importanti e significativi della storia della salvezza; si ripercorrono le varie tappe della missione di Cristo.

Con Maria si orienta il cuore al mistero di Gesù. Si mette Cristo al centro della nostra vita, del nostro tempo, delle nostre città, mediante la contemplazione e la meditazione dei suoi santi misteri di gioia, di luce, di dolore e di gloria

Ci aiuti Maria ad accogliere in noi la grazia che promana da questi misteri, affinché attraverso di noi possa “irrigare” la società, a partire dalle relazioni quotidiane, e purificarla da tante forze negative aprendola alla novità di Dio.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Causa Nostrae Laetitiae (featuring the voice of POPE BENEDICT XVI)  


"Piena di grazia" Tu sei, Maria, che accogliendo con il tuo "sì" i progetti del Creatore, ci hai aperto la strada della salvezza. Alla tua scuola, insegnaci a pronunciare anche noi il nostro "sì" alla volontà del Signore. Un "sì" che si unisce al tuo "sì" senza riserve e senza ombre, di cui il Padre celeste ha voluto aver bisogno per generare l’Uomo nuovo, il Cristo, unico Salvatore del mondo e della storia. Dacci il coraggio di dire "no" agli inganni del potere, del denaro, del piacere; ai guadagni disonesti, alla corruzione e all’ipocrisia, all’egoismo e alla violenza. "No" al Maligno, principe ingannatore di questo mondo. "Sì" a Cristo, che distrugge la potenza del male con l’onnipotenza dell’amore. Noi sappiamo che solo cuori convertiti all’Amore, che è Dio, possono costruire un futuro migliore per tutti.

Alma Mater: Featuring The Voice of Pope Benedict XVI

https://www.amazon.com/Alma-Mater-Featuring-Voice-Benedict/dp/B002NPYQ14

Product Description

Alma Mater is a stirring and highly emotional collection of eight original pieces of modern classical music. The release is a true event, marking the very first time that the Voice of Pope Benedict XVI has been captured on disc, speaking and singing in Latin, Italian, Portuguese, French and German, thanks to the audio recordings of Vatican Radio. Proceeds from the album sales will be used to provide music education for underprivileged children around the world.

The album will feature His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, reciting and singing passages and prayers, accompanied by The Choir of the Philharmonic Academy of Rome, conducted by Monsignor Pablo Colino, Maestro Emeritus of St. Peter's Basilica and recorded in St Peter's Basilica. The world famous Royal Philharmonic Orchestra plays on all of the specially commissioned contemporary tracks, and was recorded at the iconic Abbey Road studios in London.

Simon Boswell, Stefano Mainetti and Nour Eddine are the three contemporary composers who have contributed the eight specially commissioned pieces of music for Alma Mater. Vincent Messina, producer of Alma Mater, commented, "These three composers are world class and my first choices for the album. A happy co-incidence is that Stefano is Catholic, Simon is `undeclared' and Nour Eddine is Muslim, thus perfectly representing our aim to produce an album that has universal appeal to all of those who love beautiful music." Collectively, the trio of writers boasts an impressive resume of film scores, TV series and stage productions from around the world.
