[Ġw:1:30] Dan hu li għalih għedtilkom, 'Warajja ġej bniedem li hu aqwa minni, għax kien qabli.' [Ġw:1:31] Anqas jien stess ma kont nafu; imma jien għalhekk ġejt ngħammed bl-ilma, biex hu jkun mgħarraf lil Iżrael." [Ġw:1:32] U Ġwanni xehed għalih u qal: "Jiena rajt l-Ispirtu nieżel mis-sema bħal ħamiema u joqgħod fuqu. [Ġw:1:33] Tabilħaqq, anqas jien ma kont nafu; imma dak li bagħatni ngħammed bl-ilma, hu stess qalli, 'Fuq min tara l-Ispirtu jinżel u joqgħod, dak hu li jgħammed bl-Ispirtu s-Santu.' [Ġw:1:34] Dan rajtu b'għajnejja, u għalhekk xhedt, 'Dan hu l-Iben ta' Alla.' "

Lq 2, 16-21

Qari mill-Evanġelju skont San Luqa

F’dak iż-żmien, ir-rgħajja [Lq:2:16] marru jgħaġġlu, u sabu lil Marija u 'l Ġużeppi, bit-tarbija mimduda f'maxtura. [Lq:2:17] Kif raw dan, bdew jgħarrfu b'kull ma kien intqal lilhom dwar dik it-tarbija, [Lq:2:18] u kull min semagħhom baqa' mistagħġeb b'dak li qalulhom ir-rgħajja. [Lq:2:19] Marija, min-naħa tagħha, baqgħet tgħożż f'qalbha dawn il-ħwejjeġ kollha u taħseb fuqhom bejnha u bejn ruħha. [Lq:2:20] Ir-rgħajja mbagħad reġgħu lura, isebbħu u jfaħħru lil Alla għal kull ma kienu raw u semgħu, kif l-anġlu kien qalilhom.

[Lq:2:21] Meta wasal it-tmien jum biex lit-tifel jagħmlulu ċ-ċirkonċiżjoni, semmewh Ġesù, bl-isem li kien tah l-anġlu qabel ma tnissel fil-ġuf.

Evanġelju
Mt 1, 18-23
Qari mill-Evanġelju skont San Mattew.
[Mt:1:18] It-tnissil ta' Ġesù Kristu sar hekk: Ommu Marija, wara li tgħarrset ma' Ġużeppi, qabel ma marru joqogħdu flimkien, saret omm bil-ħidma ta' l-Ispirtu s-Santu. [Mt:1:19] Żewġha Ġużeppi, li kien raġel ġust u ma riedx ixandarha quddiem kulħadd, għamel il-ħsieb li jibgħatha bil-moħbi tan-nies. [Mt:1:20] Wara li qatagħha li jagħmel hekk, deherlu anġlu tal-Mulej fil-ħolm u qallu: "Ġużeppi, bin David, la tibżax tilqa’ għandek lil Marija b’martek, għax dak li tnissel fiha ġej mill-Ispirtu s-Santu. [Mt:1:21] Hi jkollha iben, u inti ssemmih Ġesù, għax hu jsalva l-poplu tiegħu minn dnubiethom. "

[Mt:1:22] Dan kollu ġara biex iseħħ dak li kien qal il-Mulej permezz tal-profeta, meta qal: [Mt:1:23] 'Ara, ix-xebba tnissel u jkollha iben, u jsemmuh Għimmanu-El', Li bi lsienna jfisser 'Alla magħna'.

Id-Divinitá li ċċekknet tant,
u tibqa’ tiċċekken fl-Ewkaristija Mqaddsa, moħbija f'biċċa ħobż, biex tittiekel, iddub u titħallat fil-vini... u f'moħħna! Ġesù, Ġesù, Ġesù, ikun imbierek IsmeK !

TALBA

Il-kewba ta' Ġakobb,
il-Mulej Ġesù Kristu,
iddiet għad-dinja kollha.
Hu ħa fuqu d-dnubiet
tal-bnedmin kollha,
jidfinhom fix-xmara Ġordan,
jiddi bid-dawl tad-divinità u jagħti lill-ġnus
id-dawl tal-għarfien veru. Imbierek Int, Alla
tagħna li wrejt ruħek, sebħ lilek.

JULY 26 - SAINT ANNE - SANT ANNA --- the Miraculous Discovery of her relics --- The Virtue --- The Dignity --- & --- Il-Kappella ta’ Sant’Anna fid-Dwejra

Could This Be The Greatest Discovery In Catholicism? | Saint Anne Feast Day

The story is remarkable! According to tradition, the most unlikely of circumstances occurred: a deaf, mute, and blind boy - enlightened by the Holy Spirit led the Emperor Charlemagne into a long lost underground crypt in southern France where the relics of St. Anne were buried and hidden for centuries. St. Anne's relics have been preserved and venerated in the many cathedrals and monasteries dedicated to her name, for example in Austria, Canada, Germany Italy, and Greece in the semi autonomous Mount Athos, and the city of Katerini.

Sermon on the incredible discovery of her relics. How John, a boy deaf, mute and blind from birth, led the Emperor Charlemagne into the long-lost underground crypt in southern France where the relics of St. Ann, mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, were buried. The miraculous manner in which these precious relics had arrived in southern France, and the great saints who had brought them there. How God uses the weak things of the world to confound the wise, and how He can do great things with us if we let Him. The powerful intercession of Good St. Ann, and the saints who have been devoted to her.

The Virtue of St Anne- Published on Aug 24, 2017

Since the founding of the Church, St. Anne has been one of the most venerated saints. She is the patroness of mothers, unmarried women, pregnant women, infertile women, and many others. Her name means “generous, merciful, and gracious.” Christians honor her on account of [1] the great degree of her virtue, [2] the height of her exalted dignity, and [3] her close relationship to the holiest persons (Jesus and Mary). St. Anne has power to aid in every necessity because her grandchild, Jesus, will refuse her no petition and her glorious daughter supports her every request. Those who faithfully venerate St. Anne will want for nothing in this life and the next. To this end, Father helps us become more familiar with her life and provides prayers by which we can grow in our devotion to her.

Christians, according to the Spirit, without fear, asks Pope

NOVEMBER 2024 - The Pope Video 11 - FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD

The loss of a child may be the worst pain a father and mother can experience. There’s no word that could possibly describe such profound grief. Pope Francis asks us to join him in prayer this month precisely for those parents who have lost a child. In the Video produced by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network that accompanies his prayer intention, Pope Francis invites us to listen in a particular way to those fathers and mothers who suffer this heartbreaking loss – to listen to them and be near them with love, just like Jesus when he cared for the most vulnerable. The Pope stresses how important it is that families support each other, with their faith which is a great pillar on which hope can be reborn. 🙏 “Let us pray that all parents who mourn the loss of a son or daughter find support in their community, and may receive peace of heart from the Spirit of Consolation.” "What can we say to parents who have lost a child? How can we console them? There are no words. You see, when one spouse loses the other, they are a widower or a widow. A child who loses a parent is an orphan. There’s a word for that. But when a parent loses a child, there’s no word. The pain is so great, that there’s no word. And it’s not natural to outlive your child. The pain caused by this loss is especially intense. Words of encouragement are at times banal or sentimental, they’re not helpful. Spoken with the best intention, of course, they can end up aggravating the wound. To offer comfort to these parents who have lost a child, we need to listen to them, to be close to them with love, to care responsibly for the pain they feel, imitating how Jesus Christ consoled those who were afflicted. And those parents who are sustained by their faith can certainly find comfort in other families who, by suffering such a terrible tragedy as this, have been reborn in hope. Let us pray that all parents who mourn the loss of a son or daughter find support in their community, and may receive peace of heart from the Spirit of Consolation." ----------------------------------------- For those who have lost a child – The Pope Video11 – November 2024
