MAY THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST, BE ALWAYS IN OUR HEART TO KEEP US HUMBLE, GRATEFUL, MERCIFUL, FORGIVING --- O GOD, BLESS ALL THAT IS COMING FROM YOU AND BREAK ALL THAT IS NOT COMING FROM YOU, AMEN --- This site is just a drop from the immeasurable ocean in JESUS, THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, HOLY TRINITY ONE GOD - HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE - TEACHER, HEALER, REDEEMER --- The main purpose of this site is to make an easier access to Catholic Religion-related links.
Saints Louis and Zelie Martin are an example of how the vocation of marriage is an actual vocation. In our culture, we so often forget that marriage isn’t the default vocation. Marriage, like consecrated life, is something to be called to and discern, every step of the way.... Both Louis and Zelie desired religious life, but found that was not where God was calling them. They both had to listen to God’s voice in choosing one another and they discerned their vocation together. We ask their prayers and follow their example in how marriage should sanctify both spouses....

Ss Louis & Zelie Martin: Sanctification in the Married State - Published on Mar 4, 2015
Sermon on the parents of St. Therese of Lisieux, Blesseds Louis & Zelie Martin. How they came together & their plans & how they lived the way God wanted them to live. Beautified in 2008 by Pope Benedict XVI. Patrons of laity & married couples.
Thus says the LORD: When Israel was a child I loved him, out of Egypt I called my son. The more I called them, the farther they went from me, Sacrificing to the Baals and burning incense to idols. Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, who took them in my arms; I drew them with human cords, with bands of love; I fostered them like one who raises an infant to his cheeks; Yet, though I stooped to feed my child, they did not know that I was their healer.
My heart is overwhelmed, my pity is stirred. I will not give vent to my blazing anger, I will not destroy Ephraim again; For I am God and not man, the Holy One present among you; I will not let the flames consume you.

11. Il-ħniena ta' Alla ma tonqos qatt
[Hos:11:1] "Meta kien tfajjel Iżrael ħabbejtu,
u mill-Eġittu sejjaħt lil ibni.
[Hos:11:2] Imma aktar ma sejjaħtilhom,
aktar tbiegħdu minni;
offrew sagrifiċċji lil Bagħalim,
u baħħru quddiem l-idoli.
[Hos:11:3] Kont jien li 'l Efrajm għallimtu jimxi,
rfajthom fuq dirgħajja,
iżd'huma m'għarfux kemm kont ħadt ħsiebhom!
[Hos:11:4] Bi ħbula ta' bnedmin jien ġbidthom,
b'rabtiet ta' mħabba;
u kont għalihom bħal min jerfa' tarbija ma' ħaddejh,
On the first Friday of July a Pilgrimage is held, starting from near Castille place, up St Paul's Street side, in Valletta Malta, at 6 pm, towards the Church of Saint Paul shipwrecked where Holy Mass is celebrated at 6.30pm. on the feast of Saint Michael of the Saints, Patron to cancer patients.
After the concelebrated Mass -The kissing of the Saint's relic
Michael Argemir, born in Spain on September 29, 1591, became a Trinitarian friar in 1607, and took the name Michael of the Saints. During his brief 33-year life, his generous service to the poor, the unfortunate and the sick made him a compassionate priest and a faithful friend. His ministry did not end with his death. After 11 days of prayer, Frances Sanz was cured through his intercession. The cancerous tumours on her lip and tongue disappeared. No scars were left. Hers was one of many such cures and was presented as one of many miracles when Pius IX canonised Argemir on June 8, 1862.
A Mass organised by the Social Assistance Secretariat of the Malta Catholic Action is being said at St Paul’s Shipwreck parish church in Valletta on Friday at 6.30pm, concluding with a novena prayer of St Michael of the Saints, Trinitarian, patron saint of cancer. The public is invited to attend.
[Eż:20:2] “Jiena hu l-Mulej, Alla tiegħek, li
ħriġtek mill-art ta' l-Eġittu, minn dar il-jasar.
[Eż:20:3] “Ma jkollokx allat oħra għajri. [Eż:20:4]
La tagħmilx għalik suriet minquxa u ebda xbieha ta' ebda ħaġa li hemm
fl-għolitas-sema, jew isfel fl-art, jew
fil-baħar taħt l-art. [Eż:20:5] La tmilx quddiemhom: la tadurahomx għaliex
jiena hu l-Mulej Alla tiegħek, Alla għajjur, li npatti l-ħażen tal-missirijiet
fuq l-ulied sat-tielet u r-raba' ġenerazzjoni lil dawk li jobogħduni; [Eż:20:6]
imma nagħder sa l-elf nisel lil min iħobbni u jżomm il-kmandamenti tiegħi.
[Eż:20:7] “La ssemmix l-isem tal-Mulej, Alla
tiegħek, fix-xejn: għaliex lil min isemmi l-isem tiegħu fix-xejn, il-Mulej ma
jħallihx bla kastig.
[Eż:20:8] “Ftakar f'jum is-Sibt u qaddsu. [Eż:20:9]
Sitt ijiem taħdem u tagħmel kull ma għandek tagħmel; [Eż:20:10] imma s-seba'
jum hu jum il-mistrieħ f'ġieħ il-Mulej, Alla tiegħek. Dan il-jum ma tagħmel
ebda xogħol, int, ibnek, il-qaddej u l-qaddejja tiegħek, il-bhejjem tiegħek, u
l-barrani li jkun ġewwa bwiebek. [Eż:20:11] Għax f'sitt ijiem il-Mulej għamel
s-smewwiet u l-art; il-baħar u kull ma hemm fihom, u strieħ fis-seba' jum.
Għalhekk il-Mulej bierek is-seba' jum u qaddsu.
[Eż:20:12] “Weġġaħ lil missierek u lil ommok,
sabiex jitkattru jiemek fuq l-art li l-Mulej, Alla tiegħek, jagħtik.
[Eż:20:13]“La toqtolx.
[Eż:20:14]“La tagħmilx adulterju.
[Eż:20:15] ̋“La tisraqx.
[Eż:20:16] “La tagħtix xhieda giddieba kontra
għajrek.
[Eż:20:17]“La tixtieqx dar għajrek: la tixtieqx il-mara ta' għajrek, il-qaddej jew
il-qaddejja tiegħu, l-għoġol jew il-ħmar tiegħu, u xejn minn kull ma għandu għajrek.”
[Eż:20:18] Il-poplu kollu sama' r-ragħad u ra
l-beraq, u sama' l-leħen tat-tromba u ra l-muntanja ddahħan. U l-poplu beda
jitriegħed u jitbeżża', u qagħad'il
bogħod. [Eż:20:19] Mbagħad qalu lil Mosè: “Kellimna int, u nisimgħuk; imma ma
jkellimniex Alla, li ma mmutux!” [Eż:20:20] U Mosè qal lill-poplu: “La
tibżgħux! Għax biex iġarrabkom ġie Alla, biex il-biża' tiegħu jkun dejjem
quddiemkom ħalli ma tidinbux.”

[Mt:5:1] Kif ra l-folol, Ġesù tala' fuq il- muntanja, qagħad bilqiegħda, u resqu lejh id-dixxipli tiegħu. [Mt:5:2] Fetaħ fommu u qabad jgħallimhom u jgħid:
Il-bnedmin il-hienja (Lq 6, 20-23)
[Mt:5:3] "Henjin il-foqra fl-ispirtu, għax tagħhom hija s-Saltna tas-Smewwiet. [Mt:5:4] Henjin l-imnikkta, għax huma jkunu mfarrġa. [Mt:5:5]Henjin ta' qalbhom ħelwa, għax huma jkollhom b'wirthom l-art. [Mt:5:6] Henjin dawk li huma bil-ġuħ u l-għatx tal-ġustizzja, għax huma jkunu mxebbgħin. [Mt:5:7] Henjin dawk li jħennu, għax huma jsibu ħniena. [Mt:5:8] Henjin dawk li huma safja f'qalbhom, għax huma jaraw 'l Alla. [Mt:5:9] Henjin dawk li jġibu l-paċi, għax huma jissejjħu wlied Alla. [Mt:5:10] Henjin dawk li huma ppersegwitati minħabba s-sewwa, għax tagħhom hija s-Saltna tas-Smewwiet. [Mt:5:11] Henjin intom, meta jgħajjrukom u jippersegwitawkom u jaqilgħu kull xorta ta' ħażen u gideb kontra tagħkom minħabba fija.
[Mt:5:12] Ifirħu u thennew, għax ħlaskom kbir fis-smewwiet. Hekk kienu jippersegwitawhom lill-profeti li kienu qabilkom."

[Mt:25:31] "Meta jiġi Bin il-bniedem fil-glorja tiegħu u bl-anġli kollha miegħu, mbagħad joqgħod fuq it-tron glorjuż tiegħu. [Mt:25:32] U quddiemu jinġabru l-ġnus kollha, u hu jifridhom minn xulxin, bħalma r-ragħaj jifred in-nagħaġ mill-mogħoż: [Mt:25:33] in-nagħaġ iqegħedhom fuq il-lemin tiegħu u l-mogħoż fuq ix-xellug. [Mt:25:34] Mbagħad is-Sultan jgħid lil dawk ta' fuq il-lemin tiegħu, 'Ejjew, mberkin minn Missieri, ħudu b'wirt tagħkom is-Saltna li tħejjiet għalikom sa mill-ħolqien tad-dinja. [Mt:25:35] Għax jien kont bil-ġuħ u tmajtuni, kont bil-għatx u sqejtuni, kont barrani u lqajtuni, [Mt:25:36] kont għeri u libbistuni, kont marid u ġejtu tarawni, kont fil-ħabs u ġejtu żżuruni.' [Mt:25:37] Mbagħad iweġbuh il-ġusti, 'Mulej', jgħidulu, 'meta rajnik bil-ġuħ u tmajnik, jew bil-għatx u sqejnik ? [Mt:25:38] Meta rajnik barrani u lqajniek, jew għeri u libbisniek? [Mt:25:39] Meta rajnik marid jew fil-ħabs u ġejna nżuruk?' [Mt:25:40] U s-Sultan iweġibhom u jgħid, 'Tassew, ngħidilkom, kull ma għamiltu ma' wieħed mill-iżgħar fost dawn ħuti, għamiltuh miegħi.'
[Mt:25:41] Mbagħad jgħid ukoll lil dawk ta' fuq ix-xellug, 'Morru minn quddiemi, misħutin, fin-nar ta' dejjem li tħejja għax-xitan u għall-anġli tiegħu. [Mt:25:42] Għax jien kont bil-ġuħ u ma tmajtunix, kont bil-għatx u ma sqejtunix, [Mt:25:43] kont barrani u ma lqajtunix, kont għeri u ma libbistunix, kont marid u fil-ħabs u ma ġejtux iżżuruni! [Mt:25:44] Mbagħad huma wkoll iweġbuh, 'Mulej,' jgħidulu, 'meta rajniek bil-ġuħ, jew bil-għatx, jew barrani, jew għeri, jew marid, jew fil-ħabs, u aħna ma waqafniex miegħek?' [Mt:25:45] Iweġibhom imbagħad u jgħidilhom, 'Tassew, ngħidilkom, dak li ma għamiltux ma' wieħed minn dawk iż-żgħar, anqas miegħi ma għamiltuh.' [Mt:25:46] U dawn imorru fit-tbatija ta' dejjem u l-ġusti fil-ħajja ta' dejjem.
