Ġesù, Iben Alla, it-Tieni Persuna tat-Trinità Qaddisa, jħobbna b'qalb umana
L-imħabba tiegħek divina hi bla kundizzjoni: Obdejt ir-rieda tal-Missier biex issir bniedem bħalna barra d-dnub, ħalli tgħallimna l-għerf tas-sema li jeħlisna mill-Ħażin. Trabbejt u għext fil-faqar u fil-persekuzzjoni. Tfulitek għaddejtha refuġjat tivvjaġġa mal-familja. Taf kemm hi diffiċli ħajjitna, taf kif aħna bbumbardjati bil-ħażen, bl-frugħa, bil-mibgħeda, bil-vjolenza, bil-kilba għall-poter, bil-vendetta, bil-pika, bil-kriminalità ... imma INT qatt ma rribattejt l-ħażen b'ħażen ... anzi ġibt fix-xejn kull negattività bl-imħabba, bil-ħniena u bil-maħra ...
Minkejja l-oppozizzjoni, l-għira u l-ħruxija kollha li wasslitek għall-mewt naturali, imdendel, imsammar fuq salib, INT IWREJT S-SETGĦA TIEGĦEK BIL-MIRAKLI, BL-GĦEĠUBIJIET U ANKE BIL-QALB UMANA TIEGĦEK: TĦASSART u tmajt eluf minn ħames ħobżiet u żewġ ħutiet; FEJJAQT il-morda minn mard fiżiku, emozjonali, psikoloġiku; ĦLIST lil vittmi mill-possessjoni tax-xitan; ĦENNEJT, GĦALLIMNT, ĦFIRT; QAJJIMT lill-mejtin. Imxejt fuq il-baħar; ikkalmajt il-baħar u r-riefnu; Minkejja din il-QAWWA DIVINA, Int Ġesù erfajt fuqek il-mard tagħna u d-dnubiet tagħna biex obdejt r-rieda tal-Missier. Baxxejt rasek u MINN RAJK aċċettajt li tbati u tmut b'tant kefrija, biex issalvana mill-ħakma tax-xitan li jobgħodna għax QATT ma aċċetta li ALLA JIEĦU SURA TA' BNIEDEM ... FRAĠLI, biex MIEGĦU ninħelsu minn kull illuzjoni li toffrilna d-dinja. Hu ma jaħmilniex inkunu kuntenti B'FERĦ INNOĊENTI ... imma jibqa' jittantana biex AĦNA nwaqqgħu persuntna għar-redikulazzjoni u ħsara, għall-mard, għall-abbuż, għall-inkwiet fil-familjim imjassrin f'ħafna spejjes. Jimlina b'rabja insolenti; jagħmina li ħa nibqu b'saħħitna u żgħażagħ; insiru skjavi għal ħażen, bla kuxjenza, bla rażan, b'ħdura bit-tgħażiż tas-snien; u jibqa' jneffaħna bis-suppervja u jġgħelna naraw biss SAL-PONTA TA' IMNEĦIRNA u wara ... jsabbatna f'sensina għall-ħsara li għamilna lilna nfusna u lil ħaddieħor.
Jogħxa jarana imħawwdin, imwarrbin, bla xogħol dinjituż.
Inessina d-DONI li l-ISPIRTU QADDIS TA' ALLA żejjen lil kull bniedem
biex jgħix ħajtu kuntent, mingħajr regħba ... u x-xitan jakkużana u jgħajjarna f'liema
ĦAMA għeriqna - li hu STESS qarraqna fih ... u jitlaqna nibku, nitħassru lilna nfusna,
iddisprati ... WEĦIDNA ...
IMMA INT O ALLA QATT MA TĦALLINA WEĦIDNA: DEJJEM LEST li kif ngħajtulek għall-għajnuna: SA TINŻEL FIL-ħama u t-tajn ta’ l-għelt tagħna BIEX TERFANA MILL-MIŻERJA TAGĦNA u B'IMĦABBTEK DEJJIEMA, NERĠGĦU NIKSBU D-DINJITÀ ta wliedek. Miegħek biss O Alla jerġa jkollna l-ORDNI f'ħajjitna; miegħek biss nerġgħu niskopru lilna nfusna, kemm tajtna rigali u kapaċitajiet li qatt ma konna għamilna użu TAJJEB minnhom - saħħitna, it-talenti, u s-sens komun li nindunaw bit-tajjeb u naħarbu l-ħażin.
INT IL-VERITÀ: Qatt ma għedtilna li miegħek mhux se jkollna mard, inkwiet, persekuzzjoni. Iżda TAĊĊERTANA meta tistedinna [Mt:11:28] "Ejjew għandi, intom ilkoll li tinsabu mħabbtin u mtaqqlin, u jiena nserraħkom. [Mt:11:29] Ħudu fuqkom il-madmad tiegħi u tgħallmu minni, għaliex jiena ta' qalb ħelwa u umli, u intom issibu l-mistrieħ għal ruħkom. [Mt:11:30] Għax il-madmad tiegħi ħelu u t-toqol tiegħi ħafif."
Int Ġesù DEJJEM B'DIRAJK MIFTUĦA TILQANA NAQSMU ĦAJJITNA MIEGĦEK, SEW FIL-FERH VERU U SEW FIN-NIKET, FID-DIFFIKULTAJIET, U FL-ISFIDI TA' ĦAJJITNA.
ĠESÙ INT REBBIEĦ FUQ IL-MEWT: Għamilt tliet ijiem fil-qabar imma qomt mill-mewt u dhert lil Appostli u d-dixxipli. Bqajt tgħallimhom U tiekol magħhom IRXUXTAT ! Wara erbajn jum tlajt s-sema u għaxart ijiem wara niżel l-Ispirtu Qaddis fuqhom kif kont wgħedthom. U huma mtlew bil-qawwa, bil-kuraġġ, bil-għerf tas-sema u b'rieda dejjiema, għax INT wgħedtna li tibqa' magħna sa l-aħħar taż-żminijiet.

KONSAGRAZZJONI TAL-QALB IMQADDSA TA’ ĠESÙ
O Ġesù hija l-Qalb minfuda tiegħek li qed tiġbidna lejk. Fuq is-salib tajtna lilek innifsek, u fil-ħniena tiegħek sejjaħtilna nkunu membri tal-Knisja tiegħek permezz tal-Magħmudija. Għal din l-imħabba tiegħek nirringrazzjawk u nfaħħruk għal dejjem.
O Qalb Qaddisa ta’ Ġesù, aħna nintelqu f’idejk. Kun Int il-kenn tagħna fl-inkwiet, il-fejqan tagħna fil-mard, il-faraġ tagħna fin-niket. Jiġri x’jiġri f’ħajjitna, nwiegħduk li nagħmlu minn kollox biex ngħixu skont il-valuri li Int għallimtna bil-Kelma u bl-eżempju tiegħek.
Nitolbu, Mulej li taħfrilna meta noffenduk bi dnubietna u bl-ingratitudni tagħna. Irridu li qatt aktar ma niddiżappuntawk. Ibgħat l-Ispirtu tiegħek f’qalbna u ħeġġiġna bin-nar ta’ mħabbtek. Agħmel li r-Rieda Qaddisa ta’ Missierek tkun tagħna wkoll.
Inti tant tħobbna li tkompli toffri lilek innifsek lill-Missier fl-Ewkaristija għall-ħelsien tad-dinja. Ilqa’ nitolbuk, l-offerta fqajra ta’ ħajjitna, il-ħidma, l-ferħ u n-niket tagħna, u għaqqadha mas-Sagrifiċċju tal-Quddiesa.
Agħtina l-grazzja, O Ġesù, li minn issa ‘l quddiem naħsbu u nħossu bħalek, inħobbu u naħdmu bħalek. Qawwi qlubna biex aħna nagħtu s-sehem tagħna ħalli s-Saltna tiegħek ta’ mħabba, ta’ ġustizzja u ta’ paċi, tkompli tinfirex mad-dinja kollha.
Nitolbuk Ġesù li tfawwar il-Knisja tiegħek bis-sentimenti ta’ Qalbek, biex tkun dejjem iżjed sagrament ta’ mħabba bejn Alla u l-bniedem, u ħolqa ta’ għaqda bejn il-bnedmin kollha. Kemm nixtiequ, Mulej, li qalbna tkun tixbah lil Qalbek. AMMEN

Ant. 1 Jesus stood and cried out: If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
Psalm 63:2-9
A soul thirsting for God
Whoever has left the darkness of sin yearns for God.
O God, you are my God, for you I long;
for you my soul is thirsting.
My body pines for you
like a dry, weary land without water.
So I gaze on you in the sanctuary
to see your strength and your glory.
For your love is better than life,
my lips will speak your praise.
So I will bless you all my life,
in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul shall be filled as with a banquet,
my mouth shall praise you with joy.
On my bed I remember you.
On you I muse through the night
for you have been my help;
in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.
My soul clings to you;
your right hand holds me fast.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
— as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

CANTICLE OF ZECHARIAH
Ant. With tender compassion, our God has come to his people and set them free.
Luke 1:68 – 79
The Messiah and his forerunner
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;
he has come to his people and set them free.
He has raised up for us a mighty saviour,
born of the house of his servant David.
Through his holy prophets he promised of old
that he would save us from our enemies,
from the hands of all who hate us.
He promised to show mercy to our fathers
and to remember his holy covenant.
This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham:
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
free to worship him without fear,
holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.
You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High;
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
to give his people knowledge of salvation
by the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. With tender compassion, our God has come to his people and set them free.

OCTOBER 16 - MEMORIAL OF SAINT MARGERIT
MARY ALACOQUE, VIRGIN 1647-1690
A self-effacing nun in the Visitation Convent at Paray-le-Monial, France, was inspired by the Lord Jesus to establish the devotion of the Holy Hour. Her name was St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, and from the age of seven, when she received her first Holy Communion, she had always manifested an intense love of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Our Lord appeared to her often, usually as the Crucified Christ. Her simplicity caused her to feel that these apparitions were also granted to others who had recourse to Jesus in the sacrament of His love. Once the Master appeared to the young girl as she was returning from a dance and reproached her for not espousing Him. When twenty-four years of age, Margaret entered the cloister, choosing the most menial tasks. Gifted with intelligence and common sense, she made great progress in holiness. Our Lord entrusted to her the mission of establishing the reign of the Sacred Heart among the children of men. Criticism did not hamper her zeal, and her charity toward her opponents won them over to the cause of the Master. In the first revelation of the Sacred Heart to the nun, Our Lord made known His burning desire to be loved by all men, and His design of manifesting to them His Sacred Heart with its treasures of mercy. Margaret Mary communicated Our Lord's wish that the faithful receive Holy Communion on the first Friday of each month and observe the Feast of the Sacred Heart on the Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi. After nineteen years in the convent, St. Margaret Mary died October 17, 1690. Many pilgrims to her tomb have sought and obtained favors. Through her apostolate of devotion to the Sacred Heart many sinners have repented and found grace with God.

TIFKIRA TA' SANTA MARGARET MARIJA
ALACOQUE, Verġni: 1647 – 1690
Santa Margerita Marija twieldet fid-Djoċesi ta’ Autun, Franza, fl-1647. Meta kellha tmien snin tilfet lil missierha.
Kien għad għandha ħdax-il sena meta bdiet issofri ħafna bir-rewmatiżmu, u meta tnejn minn ħutha bdew jitrattaw ħażin lilha u lil ommha, hi bdiet issib ħafna faraġ f’Ġesù Sagrament.
Minn kmieni wriet devozzjoni speċjali lejn Ġesù Ewkaristija. Irrifjutat proposti għaż-żwieġ, u fl-1671, meta kellha 24 sena, daħlet soru tal-Viżitazzjoni f’Paray-le-Monial, u għamlet avvanzi tal-għaġeb fit-triq tal-perfezzjoni. Hija talbet lill-majjistra tan-novizzi tgħidilha x’kellha tagħmel biex timmedita. Il-majjistra weġbitha biex tpoġġi lilha nnifisha quddiem Alla bħala tila vojta.
Sa minn mindu kellha 20 sena Margerita esperjenzat dehriet ta’ Kristu, u fis-27 ta’ Diċembru 1673, kellha bidu għal serje ta’ rivelazzjonijiet li kellhom ikomplu għas-sena u nofs ta’ wara. Fihom, il-Mulej urieha mħabbtu lejn id-dinja. F’dawn ir-rivelazzjonijiet Kristu għarrafha li hu kien għażilha bħala strument biex ixxerred id-devozzjoni lejn il-Qalb Imqaddsa tiegħu; għarrafha wkoll b’devozzjoni ġdida fil-Knisja li kellha tkun magħrufa bħala tad-Disa’ Ġimgħat u wkoll l-Ora Santa. Talabha wkoll li fil-Knisja titwaqqaf il-festa tal-Qalb Imqaddsa tiegħu fil-jum tal-Ġimgħa li jiġi fuq l-Ottava ta’ Corpus Christi.
Is-superjura tagħha, Madre de Saumaise, ħaditha kontra tagħha fl-isforzi tagħha biex timxi fuq l-istruzzjonijiet li hija kienet irċeviet fir-rivelazzjonijiet. Imma mbagħad aċċettat. Anki fost sħabha, ħafna ma setgħux iniżżluha li kellha dehriet ta’ Kristu. Margerita sabet appoġġ kbir fil-persuna ta’ San Klawdju la Colombière, SJ li għal xi żmien kien il-konfessur tal-komunità.
Bil-għajnuna ta’ San Klawdju de la Colombiere SJ li ddikjara li r-rivelazzjonijiet kienu ġenwini, Santa Margerita Marija bdiet dawn id-devozzjoni u bl-isforzi tagħha ġiet imwaqqfa l-festa tal-Qalb ta’ Ġesù.
L-oppożizzjoni fil-komunità waqfet meta fl-1683 ġiet eletta superjura l-Madre Mélin li għażlet lil Margerita bħala l-assistenta tagħha. Hi mbagħad saret majjistra tan-novizzi.
Hi rat ukoll, fl-1686 – erba’ snin qabel mietet – il-kunvent jibda josserva privatament il-festa tal-Qalb ta’ Ġesù; u sentejn wara nbniet kappella f’Paray-le-Monial iddedikata lill-Qalb ta’ Ġesù. Malajr l-osservanza tal-festa bdiet tixtered fil-kunventi l-oħra tas-Sorijiet Viżitandini.
Margerita Alacoque mietet ta’ 43 sena f’Paray-le-Monial fis-17 ta’ Ottubru 1690, u ġiet ikkanonizzata fl-1920 mill-Papa Benedittu XV. Ġisimha jinsab taħt l-artal tal-Kappella tal-kunvent ta’ Paray. Id-devozzjoni lejn il-Qalb ta’ Ġesù ġiet uffiċjalment rikonoxxuta 75 sena wara mewtha fl-1765 minn Klement XIII
