Mk 9:14-29 -- Jesus heals a boy possessed by an impure spirit - Ġesu jfejjaq tifel u jeħilsu -- Impatience -- Idle Hands Are The Devil's Open Door!

Ġesù jfejjaq tifel u jeħilsu mix-xitan
(Mt 17 ,14-21 ; Lq9, 37-42)

[Mk:9:14] Meta reġgħu ġew ħdejn id-dixxipli l-oħra, rawhom b'kotra kbira ta' nies madwarhom, u xi kittieba jitlewwmu magħhom. [Mk:9:15] In-nies, kif rawh, lkoll stagħġbu ħafna u ġrew lejh biex isellmulu. [Mk:9:16] U hu staqsiehom: "Fuqiex qegħdin titlewwmu magħhom?" [Mk:9:17] U wieħed mill-kotra qallu: "Mgħallem, ġibtlek lil ibni għax għandu spirtu mbikkem. [Mk:9:18] U kull fejn jaħkmu jsabbtu ma' l-art u hu joħroġ ir-ragħwa minn ħalqu, jgħażżeż snienu u jibbies. Għedt lid-dixxipli tiegħek biex ikeċċuh minnu, u ma kellhomx ħila." [Mk:9:19] "Ja nies bla fidi" qalilhom Ġesù,"kemm se ndum magħkom? Kemm se ndum nissaportikom? Ġibuhuli quddiemi." [Mk:9:20] U ressquhulu quddiemu. L-ispirtu, malli lemaħ lil Ġesù, beda jħabbtu 'l hawn u 'l hemm bir-ragħwa f'ħalqu. [Mk:9:21] "Xi kemm ilu jagħtih hekk?" staqsa Ġesù lil missieru."Minn ċkunitu," qallu, [Mk:9:22] "u sikwit ġie li tefgħu fin-nar u fl-ilma biex jeqirdu. Imma int, jekk tista' tagħmel xi ħaġa, għinna u ħenn għalina !" [Mk:9:23] "Jekk tista' !" qallu Ġesù. "Kollox jista' jkun għal min jemmen !" [Mk:9:24] Missier it-tifel minnufih beda jgħajjat u jgħidlu: "Jiena nemmen! Għinni fil-fidi nieqsa tiegħi !" [Mk:9:25] Ġesù, meta ra l-kotra tiżdied, hedded bl-aħrax lill-ispirtu ħażin u qallu: "Ja spirtu mbikkem u trux, jiena nordnalek: oħroġ minnu, u la terġax tidħol fih, qatt iżjed !" [Mk:9:26] U filwaqt li qabad jixher u jħabbtu ħafna, ħareġ minnu, u t-tifel inxteħet għal mejjet, hekk li l-kotra tan-nies bdiet tgħid: "Miet !" [Mk:9:27] Imma Ġesù qabdu minn idu u qajjmu, u hu waqaf fuq saqajh. [Mk:9:28] Meta mbagħad Ġesù raġa' daħal id-dar, id-dixxipli tiegħu staqsewh rasu u rashom: "Għaliex ma rnexxilniex inkeċċuh?" [Mk:9:29] "Spirtu bħal dak," qalilhom,"ma jista' jitkeċċa b'xejn ħlief bit-talb."

====== SONG LYRICS ======


How beautiful You are my love

You show Your face in all creation

Where You sign Your name, with letters of love;

I look around and see, Your beauty and majesty,

You made the world for me to find You

Know Your love, to live for You my love.

 

Sunshine You give, to make my days bright,

The moon and the stars, to light up the night

Clouds with a silver lining, to show that the sun’s just hiding

In storms and rain, You’re always there.

 

How.....

 

The sea with its splendour, power and might

The wind which blows, and goes as it likes

Flowers to give us pleasure; these are Your gifts to treasure

I look around and know that You’re there

 

How......

 

Still all these years, just where’nt enough

You gave us Yourself, to show us Your love;

Closed in each Tabernacle,

In every church and chapel,

You give us Yourself, to show that You care.

 

How.....
