THE THIRD SPIRITUAL ALPHABET by Francisco de Osuna (c. 1492-c. 1540) Spanish Franciscan and mystic, wrote a series of maxims as a practical guide for recollection. These were arranged into a series of Spiritual Alphabets, this being the third.
 In the year 1527, a Spanish monk named Francisco de Osuna published a spiritual treasure called The Third Spiritual Alphabet.  -- THIS BOOK, which is little known today, was partially responsible for the Golden Age of Spanish mysticism, which produced such saints as Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross. The book teaches a method of prayer called recogidos, which encourages the practice of recollection as a means of union with God. St. Teresa of Avila speaks of this book in her autobiography. She said it was given to her by her uncle when she was in her early 20’s, during a time when she was struggling with the spiritual life, and unsure if she should remain in the convent. She describes herself during this period of life as thinking “more about pleasures of sense and vanity than of my soul's profit.” It was the Third Spiritual Alphabet that changed her life. So impressed was she by the method of prayer, and the practical advice given in the book, that she “took it as her master”. She wrote “I was delighted with the book and determined to follow that way of prayer with all my might”. Within the space of only nine months, she began to experience passive and contemplative prayer, which detached her from creatures and filled her with a greater love of God. St. Teresa’s copy of The Third Spiritual Alphabet is preserved to this day in the Carmel of St. Joseph, in Avila .......

Teresa wrote some beautiful poetry. Here is one that provides much fruit for contemplation ... 
 
 IN THE HANDS OF GOD
 
I am Yours and born for You,
What do You want of me?

Majestic Sovereign, Unending wisdom,
Kindness pleasing to my soul;
God sublime, one Being Good,
Behold this one so vile.
Singing of her love to You:
What do You want of me?

Yours, You made me,
Yours, You saved me,
Yours, You endured me,
Yours, You called me,
Yours, You awaited me,
Yours, I did not stray.
What do You want of me?

Good Lord, what do You want of me?
What is this wretch to do?
What work is this,
This sinful slave to do?
Look at me, Sweet Love,
Sweet Love, look at me,
What do You want of me?

In Your hand I place my heart,
Body, life and soul,
Deep feelings and affections mine,
Spouse – Redeemer sweet,
Myself offered now to You,
What do You want of me?

Give me death, give me life,
Health or sickness,
Honour or shame,
War or swelling peace,
Weakness or full strength,
Yes, to these I say,
What do You want of me?

Give me wealth or want,
Delight or distress,
Happiness or gloominess,
Heaven or hell,
Sweet life, sun unveiled,
To You I give all.
What do You want of me?

Give me, if You will, prayer;
Or let me know dryness,
An abundance of devotion,
Or if not, then barrenness.
In You alone, Sovereign Majesty,
I find my peace,
What do You want of me?

Give me then wisdom.
Or for love, ignorance,
Years of abundance,
Or hunger and famine.
Darkness or sunlight,
Move me here or there:
What do You want of me?

If You want me to rest,
I desire it for love;
If to labour, I will die working:
Sweet Love say
Where, how and when.
What do You want of me?

Calvary or Tabor give me,
Desert or fruitful land;
As Job in suffering
Or John at Your breast;
Barren or fruited vine,
Whatever be Your will:
What do You want of me?

Be I Joseph chained
Or as Egypt’s governor,
David pained or exalted high,
Jonas drowned, or Jonas freed:
What do You want of me?

Silent or speaking,
Fruit bearing or barren,
My wounds shown by the Law,
Rejoicing in the tender Gospel;
Sorrowing or exulting.
You alone live in me:
What do You want of me?
 
Yours I am, for You I was born:
What do You want of me?

The Proper Gospel on the Feast:
 

Jn 15:1-8 -- "I am the vine, you are the branches - Jiena d-dielja, intom il-friegฤงi."


Evanฤกelju
ฤ w 15, 1-8

Qari mill-Evanฤกelju skont San ฤ wann

F’dak iลผ-ลผmien, ฤ esรน qal lid-dixxipli tiegฤงu: [ฤ w:15:1] "Jiena d-dielja vera u Missieri l-bidwi. [ฤ w:15:2] Kull fergฤงa fija li ma tagฤงmilx frott hu jneฤงฤงiha; u kull waฤงda li tagฤงmel il-frott jiลผborha u jnaddafha, biex tagฤงmel frott aktar. [ฤ w:15:3] Intom ฤกa ndaf minฤงabba  l-kelma li gฤงedtilkom. [ฤ w:15:4] Ibqgฤงu fija, u jiena nibqa' fikom. Kif il-fergฤงa ma tistax tagฤงmel frott minnha nfisha jekk ma tibqax fid-dielja, hekk anqas intom jekk ma tibqgฤงux fija.

[ฤ w:15:5] Jiena d-dielja, intom il-friegฤงi. Min jibqa' fija u jiena fih, dan jagฤงmel ฤงafna frott; gฤงax mingฤงajri ma tistgฤงu tagฤงmlu xejn. [ฤ w:15:6] Jekk wieฤงed ma jibqax fija, jintrema barra bฤงal fergฤงa, u jinxef; mbagฤงad,  jiฤกbruhom u jixฤงtuhom fin-nar u jinฤงarqu. [ฤ w:15:7] Jekk tibqgฤงu fija u kliemi jibqa' fikom, itolbu kull ma tridu, u dan ikun mogฤงti lilkom.. [ฤ w:15:8] B’dan jissebbaฤง Missieri, billi tagฤงmlu ฤงafna frott, u hekk tkunu dixxipli tiegฤงi”.

15 TA’ OTTUBRU
 TIFKIRA TA' SANTA TEREลปA TA’ AVILA
 Verฤกni u duttur tal-Knisja: 1515 – 1582
 Santa Teresa twieldet f’Avila, Spanja, fit-28 ta’ Marzu, 1515, gฤงand familja sinjura. Telgฤงet ta’ natural ฤงelu u vivaฤ‹i.
 Meta kellha seba’ snin, hi u ฤงuha iลผgฤงar minnha, wara li qraw xi ฤงajjiet ta’ qaddisin martri, ฤกiethom f’moฤงฤงhom li jmorru gฤงall-Missjoni biex imutu martri, iลผda ma laฤงqux tbiegฤงdu wisq mid-dar meta ltaqgฤงu ma’ zijuhom u ฤงadhom lura gฤงand ommhom.
 Meta kellha 12-il sena, ommha mietet. Tliet snin wara, oฤงta l-kbira li kienet tieฤงu ฤงsieb id-dar iลผลผewฤกet, u l-missier daฤงฤงal lil Tereลผa mas-sorijiet Agostinjani. Wara sena u nofs, mardet, u kellha tmur lura lejn id-dar. F’dawn is-snin kienet bierda ฤงafna fir-reliฤกjon. Imbagฤงad f’daqqa waฤงdafl-1535 iddeฤ‹idiet li tidฤงol Soru mal-Karmelitani li kienu f’Avila. Missierha gฤงall-ewwel ma ridhiex, iลผda mbagฤงad ฤ‹eda.
 Sena wara li daฤงlet Soru, ipprofessat. Imbagฤงad ฤกie fuqha ลผmien twil ta’ mard, u ta’ nixfa fil-ฤงajja spiritwali.
 Meta missierha kien marid, hi marret iddur bih. Il-mewt tiegฤงu ฤกabet bidla ฤกo fiha gฤงax marret tqerr gฤงand il-konfessur tiegฤงu u dan ordnalha terฤกa tibda titlob. Issa kienet qrib l-erbgฤงin.
 Imbagฤงad beda jkollha esperjenzi spiritwali li nafu bihom gฤงax hi niลผลผlithom b’mod ฤ‹ar u b’sena l-iktar kbira f’kotba li llum huma meqjusa bฤงala klassiฤ‹i spiritwali: l-”Awtobiografija”, ”Mixja tal-Perfezzjoni”, u ”Il-Kastell ฤ ewwieni”.
Fl-1560 ฤกieha l-ฤงsieb li tirriforma l-Ordni tagฤงha, u ฤกฤกedded l-awsterita’ u d-dixxiplina ta’ qabel, u fl-1562, bil-gฤงajnuna ta’ San Pietru ta’ Alkantara, minkejja bosta taฤงbit u tfixkil, rat l-ewwel erba’ Sorijiet Karmelitani Skalzi jilbsu l-libsa l-ฤกdida fil-Monasteru l-ฤกdid ta’ San Jose’, f’Avila. Sitt xhur wara, meta ฤกieha l-permess, marret tgฤงix magฤงhom. Xahar wara, ฤกiet magฤงลผula biex tkun is-Superjura.
 Wara xi snin ta’ ฤงajja kwieta, bdiet tiftaฤง kunventi oฤงra mxerrdin ma’ Spanja. Fl-1568 bil-gฤงajnuna ta’ San ฤ wann tas-Salib waqqfet l-ewwel monasteru tal-Patrijiet. B’kollox hi fetฤงet 17-il kunvent tas-Sorijiet u 15 tal-Patrijiet.
 Fl-aฤงฤงar vjaฤกฤก tagฤงha fl-1582, wara li fetฤงet monasteru f’Burgos, telqet lejn Alba de Tormes. Meta waslet fl-20 ta’ Settembru, kienet gฤงajjiena ฤงafna u marida, inxteฤงtet fis-sodda, u mietet ftit ฤกranet wara, fl-4 ta’ Ottubru.
 Fl-1622, il-Papa Girgor XV ikkanonizzaha, u fl-1970, il-Papa Pawlu VI ipproklamaha Duttur tal-Knisja flimkien ma’ S. Katerina ta’ Siena.

ฤฆsieb
”Meta titqarben agฤงlaq l-gฤงajnejn tal-ฤกisem tiegฤงek u iftaฤง l-gฤงajnejn ta’ ruฤงek. Imbagฤงad ara u edha b’ฤ esรน fiฤ‹-ฤ‹entru ta’ qalbek.” (Santa Tereลผa ta’ Avila)

WHY SUFFERING?   

Why would an all-powerful, all-loving God allow suffering?
Because:

a) We’re not marionettes and

b) This earth – for our own greater good – is not a pleasure bubble floating in space.





Mk 4:35-41 -- Jesus Calms the Storm - ฤ esรน jsikket it-tempesta

ฤ esรน jsikket it-tempesta
(Mt 8, 18, 23-27 ; Lq 8, 22-25)


[Mk:4:35] Dakinhar, xฤงin sar filgฤงaxija qalilhom: "Ejjew naqsmu  gฤงax-xatt l-ieฤงor." [Mk:4:36] ฤฆallew in-nies, u ฤงaduh magฤงhom kif kien fid-dgฤงajsa; u marru miegฤงu dgฤงajjes oฤงra. [Mk:4:37] U qam riefnu kbir, u l-mewฤก beda tiela' gฤงal ฤกod-dgฤงajsa, hekk li kienet ฤกa bdiet timtela  bl-ilma. [Mk:4:38] Hu kien fil-poppa, rieqed fuq imฤงadda. Qajjmuh u qalulu: "Mgฤงallem, dan qisu m'hu xejn gฤงalik li aฤงna se nintilfu?" [Mk:4:39]  Mbagฤงad qam, ordna lir-riฤง u qal lill-baฤงar: "Iskot! Biลผลผejjed!" U r-riฤง waqaf u waqgฤงet kalma kbira.
[Mk:4:40]  U qalilhom: "Dal-biลผa' kollu gฤงaliex? Mela ma gฤงandkomx fidi?" [Mk:4:41]  U qabadhom biลผa' kbir, u bdew jgฤงidu lil xulxin: "Dan min hu, mela, biex saฤงansitra r-riฤง u l-baฤงar jisimgฤงu minnu?"
