The top ten achievements of John Paul II - Published on Apr 22, 2014

“To believe in Jesus is to accept what he says, even when it runs contrary to what others are saying. It means rejecting the lure of sin, however attractive it may be, in order to set out on the difficult path of the Gospel virtues.” (Pope St. John Paul II; WYD Toronto Welcoming Ceremony; July 25, 2002)

Relikwija ta' San Ġwanni Pawlu II, Papa

San Ġwanni Pawlu II - 22 ta' Ottubru

PARIRI SPIRITWALI TA’ SAN GWANNI PAWLU II, PAPA:

 

Il-Ħolqien Mera tal-Kobor t’Alla:

 

Ø Alla għamilna għall-ferħ, u l-ferħ tal-ħajja jirrifletti l-ferħ oriġinali li ħass Alla meta ħalaqna.

Ø Is-silenzju tal-muntanja u l-abjad tas-silġ ikellmuna dwar Alla. Juruna t-triq li twassal għall-kontemplazzjoni, mhux biss bħala mod mill-aqwa kif wieħed jesperjenza dan il-misteru, imma wkoll bħala kundizzjoni biex wieħed jumanizza ħajtu u r-relazzjonijiet tiegħu m’għajru.

Ø Kull ħaġa kbira teħtieġ paċenzja.

 

Ġesù fl-Ewkaristija:

 

Ø Ippruvaw ġibu ruħkom ma’ Ġesù fl-Ewkaristija bħalma hu jġib ruħu magħna. Hu jagħti lilu nnifsu bla ma jistenna ħlas.

Ø Tgħallmu kif tibqgħu ma’ Kristu sabiex tkunu tistgħu tħobbu bħalu. Meta tistgħu, matul il-ġimgħa, ħudu sehem mill-Ewkaristija. Li nkunu fidili lejn it-tqarbin ta’ matul il-ġimgħa jgħinna nimxu wara Kristu fil-ħajja tagħna ta’ kuljum, u jagħtina d-dawl u s-saħħa biex nimxu wara l-vokazzjoni tagħna.

Ø Fl-intimità tat-tabernaklu, il-valuri li jridu jsaltnu fid-djar jirċievu saħħa ġdida biex jagħmlu mill-familja post fejn wieħed jiltaqa’ m’Alla, ċentru li jirradja l-fidi, skola għall-ħajja nisranija.

 

Marija:

 

Ø Marija għexet kontinwament l-Ewkaristija; hi baqgħet dejjem marbuta b’mod intimu ma’ Ġesù u dejjem imxiet warajh fedelment.

Ø Marija tgħallimna kif nisimgħu il-Kelma ta’ Alla u nipprattikawha fil-ħajja tagħna ta’ kuljum.

Ø Fit-tama ta’ Marija f’riġlejn is-salib jinsab dawl li hu aqwa mid-dlamijiet li jsaltnu f’ħafna qlub; fil-preżenza tas-sagrifiċċju tal-fidwa, it-tama tal-Knisja u tal-umanità twieldet f’Marija.

Ø Marija hi l-għalliema tal-ħajja tat-talb u tal-ispiritwalità inkarnata fin-natura umana.

 

Il-Knisja:

 

Ø Il-Knisja dejjem tħabbat wiċċha ma’ diffikultajiet; ħafna drabi tisfa attakkata u mfixkla. Imma hi dejjem tibqa’ żagħżugħa, dejjem aktar ħajja.

Ø Huwa importanti ħafna li l-komunità nisranija tippreżenta ruħha bħala ġisem wieħed, b’diversi funzjonijiet u servizzi, imqassma fi gruppi u movimenti, imma magħquda fil-motivi, l-oġġettivi u fl-istil tal-Vanġelu. Din hi t-tagħlima tat-Trinità Qaddisa.

 

TALBA

Omm qaddisa tar-Redentur,

bieb tal-ġenna, kewba tal-baħar,

ieqaf mal-poplu tiegħek li tant jixtieq li jerġa’ jdur lejk.

Għal darb’oħra nirrikorru lejk, omm ta’ Kristu u tal-Knisja,

kif ninsabu taħt riġlejk fil-grotta ta’ Iria,

nirringrazzjawk għal dak kollu

li int għamilt matul dawn is-snin diffiċli,

kemm għall-Knisja, għal kull wieħed u waħda minna

u għall-umanità kollha. Ammen.

IR-RIT TAL-QUDDIESA - THE ORDER OF MASS

Pope: Prepare for Mass in silence



Listen also to the report:

General Audience: Holy Mass is the prayer "par excellence"

http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2017/11/15/general_audience_holy_mass_is_the_prayer_par_excellence/1349048

Reading: Luke 11,1-4

[1] He was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.” [2]He said to them, “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. [3] Give us each day our daily bread [4] and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the final test.”

(Vatican Radio) At his General Audience on Wednesday, Pope Francis resumed his catechesis on the Holy Mass.

The Mass, the Pope said, is prayer – or rather, it is “the prayer par excellence, the highest, the most sublime, and at the same time, the most ‘concrete’ … it is an encounter with the Lord.”

“But what is prayer, really?” Pope Francis asked. “it is first of all dialogue, a relationship with God.” Man, he continued, “was created as a being in personal relationship with God, who finds his full realization only in the encounter with His Creator.”

God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – is Himself “a perfect relationship of love that is unity.” Because we are created in “the image and likeness of God,” we too are called to enter into a perfect relationship of love. And it is the Mass, the Eucharist, that is “the privileged moment to be with Christ, and, through Him, with God and with our brothers.”

But dialogue also means knowing how to remain silent, in the presence of the other. The Holy Father emphasized the importance of moments of silence when we go to Mass – the liturgy, he said, is not a time for chatting, but a time to recollect ourselves, to prepare our hearts for the encounter with Jesus.

Jesus Himself often went off to “a place apart” in order to pray; and His disciples, seeing His intimate relationship with the Father, asked Him how to pray. “Jesus says that the first thing necessary for prayer” is to be able to call God “Father.” Pope Francis said, “If I cannot say ‘Father’ to God, I can’t pray. We have to learn to say ‘Father,’ that is, to put ourselves into His presence with filial confidence.”

In this sense, he continued, we must be like children, able to entrust ourselves entirely to God, as children do with their parents. And, like children, we must also have a sense of wonder, we must “allow ourselves to be surprised.” When we speak to God in prayer, the Pope said, it is not talking to God “like parrots.” Instead it means “entrusting ourselves and opening our hearts to allow ourselves to wonder.” The encounter with God in Mass, he said, “is always a living encounter, it is not a meeting in a museum.”

Pope Francis recalled the Gospel account of Nicodemus’ meeting with Jesus. In their encounter, Jesus spoke about the need to be born again. But how is this possible, the Pope asked? “This is a fundamental question of our faith,” he said, “and this is the desire of every true believer: the desire to be reborn, the joy of beginning anew.” Pope Francis asked his audience, “Do we have this desire? Does each one of us have the desire to always be reborn in order to encounter the Lord? Do you have this desire?”

In fact, the Pope concluded, “the Lord surprises us by showing us that He loves us even in our weakness.” In the Mass, in our encounter with Jesus, “the Lord encounters our fragility in order to bring us back to our first calling: that of being in the image and likeness of God.” This, Pope Francis said, “is the environment of the Eucharist, this is the prayer.”
