ADMIRE WITH AWE AND WONDER THE FACE IN THE SHROUD OF TURIN AND THE ORIGINAL IMAGE (by Eugene Kazimierowski inVilnius, Lithuania) AS JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF TOLD SAINT FAUSTINA KOWALSKA TO DRAW HIM, WHEN HE APPEARED TO HER............while remembering === Isaiah 53:3-5 - NEW JERUSALEM BIBLE
3 he was despised, the lowest of men, a man of sorrows, familiar with suffering, one from whom, as it were, we averted our gaze, despised, for whom we had no regard.
4 Yet ours were the sufferings he was bearing, ours the sorrows he was carrying, while we thought of him as someone being punished and struck with affliction by God;
5 whereas he was being wounded for our rebellions, crushed because of our guilt; the punishment reconciling us fell on him, and we have been healed by his bruises. La ténèbre n'est point ténèbre

June 23 - Lk 1:5-17 - Vigil - Birth of John the Baptist - Velja tas-Solennità tat-twelid ta' Ġwanni l-Battista
It-taħbira tat-twelid ta' Ġwanni l-Battista
[Lq:1:5] Fi żmien Erodi, sultan tal-Lhudija, kien hemm qassis jismu Żakkarija, mit-taqsima ta' Abija; martu, li kien jisimha Eliżabetta, kienet minn ulied Aron. [Lq:1:6] It-tnejn kienu nies ġusti quddiem Alla u jimxu bla nuqqas ta' xejn skond il-preċetti u l-kmandamenti kollha tal-Mulej. [Lq:1:7] Ulied ma kellhomx, għax Eliżabetta ma setax ikollha, u t-tnejn kienu mdaħħlin fiż-żmien. [Lq:1:8] Mela ġara li Żakkarija kien qiegħed jaqdi dmiru ta' qassis quddiem Alla, għax kien imissha t-taqsima tiegħu, [Lq:1:9] u, skond id-drawwa tal-liturġija, ntgħażel hu bix-xorti biex jidħol ġewwa fis-santwarju tal-Mulej ħalli jaħraq l-inċens.[Lq:1:10] Waqt ir-rit ta' l-inċens, il-kotra kollha tal-poplu kienet qiegħda titlob barra. [Lq:1:11] U deherlu anġlu tal-Mulej, wieqaf in-naħa tal-lemin ta' l-artal ta' l-inċens. [Lq:1:12] Żakkarija, malli rah, tħawwad u waqa' biża' fuqu. [Lq:1:13] Imma l-anġlu qallu: "Tibżax, Żakkarija, għax it-talba tiegħek instemgħet: martek Eliżabetta se tagħtik iben, u inti ssemmih Ġwanni. [Lq:1:14] Din tkun għalik ħaġa li tqanqlek bil-ferħ u thennik ħafna, u jkun hemm bosta li jifirħu bit-twelid tat-tifel. [Lq:1:15] Għax hu jkun kbir quddiem il-Mulej; ma jkun jixrob ebda inbid jew xorb qawwi, u jimtela bi spirtu qaddis sa minn ġuf ommu. [Lq:1:16] Huwa jreġġa' lil ħafna minn ulied Iżrael lejn il-Mulej Alla tagħhom, [Lq:1:17] u hu ġej qabel il-Mulej, mimli bl-ispirtu u l-qawwa ta' Elija, biex iraġġa' l-qlub tal-missirijiet lejn uliedhom, u lil dawk li ma jridux jobdu jreġġagħhom għall-għaqal tal-ġusti, ħalli jlesti poplu mħejji sewwa għall-Mulej."

June 24 - Lk 1:57-66, 80 - Solemnity - Birth of John the Baptist - It-twelid ta' Ġwanni l-Battista
It-twelid ta' Ġwanni l-Battista
[Lq:1:57] Eliżabetta għalqilha ż-żmien biex teħles, u kellha tifel. [Lq:1:58] Il-ġirien u qrabatha semgħu li l-Mulej wera ħniena kbira magħha, u marru jifirħu magħha. [Lq:1:59] Meta mbagħad fit-tmien jum ġew biex jagħmlu ċ-ċirkonċiżjoni lit-tifel riedu jsemmuh Żakkarija għal missieru, [Lq:1:60] imma qabżet ommu u qalet: "Le, iżda Ġwanni jkun jismu." [Lq:1:61] Qalulha: "Ma hemm ħadd li jismu hekk fost qrabatek!" [Lq:1:62] Mbagħad bdew jistaqsu bis-sinjali lil missieru x'ried isemmih, [Lq:1:63] u hu talabhom xi ħaġa fuqiex jikteb, u kiteb hekk: "Ismu huwa Ġwanni." U kulħadd baqa' mistagħġeb. [Lq:1:64] Dak il-ħin stess Żakkarija nfetaħlu fommu, lsienu nħall, u beda jitkellem u jfaħħar lil Alla. [Lq:1:65] U l-ġirien tagħhom ilkoll qabadhom il-biża', u bdew ixandru dawn il-ġrajjiet kollha ma' l-għoljiet kollha tal-Lhudija, [Lq:1:66] u kull min kien jismagħhom kien iżommhom f'qalbu u jgħid: "Mela x'għad ikun dan it-tifel?" U tassew, id il-Mulej kienet miegħu. [Lq:1:80] It-tifel kiber u ssaħħaħ f'ruħu, u baqa' jgħix fid-deżert sa dakinhar li ħareġ quddiem Iżrael.
