Saint Charles De Foucauld - http://www.charlesdefoucauld.org/en/biographie.php

     

Missier, f’idejk nintelaq jiena.
Agħmel minni dak li jogħġbok.
Niżżikħajr għal dak kollu li tagħmel bija:
Jien lest għal kollox, nilqa’ kollox.
Agħmel biss li r-rieda tiegħek isseħħ fija,
u fil-ħlejjaq kollha tiegħek.
Ma nixtieq xejn aktar Mulej.
F’idejk jien nitlaq ruħi;
nagħtihielek bl-imħabba kollha ta’ qalbi,
għax jien inħobbok, Mulej,
u għalhekk inħoss il-ħtieġa
li nagħti lili nnifsi lilek,
li nintelaq f’idejk għal kollox
u b’kunfidenza bla tarf,
għax int Missieri.

Is-Sejħa għall-Aħħar Post. Ħajjet Charles de Foucauld.

Prayer of Abandonment

Father, I abandon myself into Your Hands;
do with me what You will.
Whatever You may do I thank You.
I am ready for all. I accept all.
Let only Your will be done in me
and in all Your creatures.
I wish no more than this, O Lord.
Into Your Hands I commend my soul.
I offer it to You with all the love of my heart,
for I love You, Lord,
and so need to give myself,
to surrender myself into Your Hands,
without reserve and
with boundless confidence,
for You are my Father.


Charles De Foucauld was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI on November 13, 2005, and is listed as a martyr in the liturgy of the Catholic Church.
Feast day - 1 December

Lk 12:49-53 -- Not Peace but Division - Firda minħabba Ġesù


Firda minħabba Ġesù
(Mt 10, 34-36)

[Lq:12:49] "Nar ġejt inqiegħed fuq l-art, u kemm nixtieq li diġà qabad! [Lq:12:50] Iżda hemm magħmudija li biha għandi nitgħammed, u x'diqa għandi sa ma dan iseħħ! [Lq:12:51] Taħsbu intom li jien ġejt inġib il-paċi fid-dinja? Le, ngħidilkom, imma l-firda; [Lq:12:52] għax mil-lum 'il quddiem ħamsa minn nies f'dar waħda jkunu mifruda bejniethom, tlieta kontra tnejn u tnejn kontra tlieta; [Lq:12:53] jinfirdu l-missier kontra  l-iben u l-iben kontra l-missier, l-omm kontra l-bint u l-bint kontra l-omm, omm ir-raġel kontra mart binha u mart l-iben kontra omm żewġha."
