December 18, 2023 - Declaration Fiducia Supplicans On the Pastoral Meaning of Blessings - & - The God Who Stays

10 Jan 2024 - The Vatican's recent declaration Fiducia Supplicans has become the bone of contention as it explores the possibility of blessing same-sex couples. What does the document say and is it against the Church's teaching? 



==================================
==================================



Dichiarazione “Fiducia supplicans” sul senso pastorale delle benedizioni del Dicastero per la Dottrina della Fede, 18.12.2023 https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2023/12/18/0901/01963.html 




==================================
==================================




Papa Francesco: "Le benedizioni a coppie gay? Nelle scelte c'è un prezzo di solitudine da pagare"




Same-sex, blessing? No. Confusion, fear, repentance, truth. Yes.  


 New Teaching on Marriage? No.  




Why is homosexual sex a sin? 
3 Jul 2024 - Please join Fr. Michael O'Connor for his weekly radio show, broadcast on Radio Maria Radio and also published here to his YouTube channel.

Matthew West - The God Who Stays (Lyric Video)

 Lyrics

… If I were You I would've given up on me by nowI would've labeled me a lost cause'Cause I feel just like a lost cause
… If I were You I would've turned around and walked awayI would've labeled me beyond repair'Cause I feel like I'm beyond repair
… Oh, but somehow You don't see me like I doSomehow You're still here
… You're the God who staysYou're the God who staysYou're the one who runs in my directionWhen the whole world walks awayYou're the God who standsWith wide open armsAnd You tell me nothing I have ever done can separate my heartFrom the God who stays
… I used to hideEvery time I thought I let You downI always thought I had to earn my wayBut I'm learning You don't work that way, no
… 'Cause somehow You don't see me like I doSomehow You're still here
… You're the God who staysYou're the God who staysYou're the one who runs in my directionWhen the whole world walks awayYou're the God who standsWith wide open armsAnd You tell me nothing I have ever done can separate my heartFrom the God who stays
… My shame can't separateMy guilt can't separateMy past can't separateI'm Yours forever
… My sin can't separateMy scars can't separateMy failures can't separateI'm Yours forever
… No enemy can separateNo power of hell can take awayYour love for me will never changeI'm Yours forever
… 'Cause you're the God who staysYou're the God who staysYou're the one who runs in my directionWhen the whole world walks awayYou're the God who standsWith wide open armsAnd You tell me nothing I have ever done can separate my heartFrom the God who staysYou're the God who staysYou're the one who runs in my directionWhen the whole world walks awayYou're the God who standsWith wide open armsAnd You tell me nothing I have ever done can separate my heartFrom the God who stays

=========================================

QARI TAL-QUDDIESA 
Qari tat-Tnejn u Għoxrin Ħadd taż-Żmien ta’ Matul is-Sena A

Qari I

Il-Kelma tal-Mulej saret għalija tagħjir u tmaqdir kuljum.
Ġer 20, 7-9

Qari mill-Ktieb tal-Profeta Ġeremija

Qarraqtni Mulej, u jien tqarraqt:
kont aqwa minni, u għelibtni.
Jien sirt id-daħka ta’ kuljum,
kulħadd jiddieħak bija.
Kull meta niġi nitkellem, jien ngħajjat,
u nxandar, “Moħqrija u ħsara!”.
Il-kelma tal-Mulej saret għalija
tagħjir u tmaqdir kuljum.
U jien għedt: “Ma nsemmihx aktar,
ma nitkellimx aktar f’ismu”.
Iżda f’qalbi hemm bħal nar jaqbad,
magħluq f’għadmi.
Għejejt inżommu magħluq ġo fija,
ma niflaħx aktar għalih.

Il-Kelma tal-Mulej
R/. Irroddu ħajr lil Alla


SALM RESPONSORJALI
Salm 62 (63), 2.3-4.5-6.8-9

R/. (2b): Għalik imxennaq jiena, Mulej, Alla tiegħi

Alla, Alla tiegħi int; lilek ħerqan infittex.
Ruħi bil-għatx għalik,
għalik imxennaq jiena,
bħal art niexfa, maħruqa, bla ilma. R/.

Għalhekk ġejt narak fit-tempju mqaddes tiegħek,
biex nitgħaxxaq bis-setgħa u l-glorja tiegħek.
Għax it-tjieba tiegħek aħjar mill-ħajja,
xufftejja jxandru t-tifħir tiegħek. R/.

Għalhekk inbierkek tul ħajti kollha;
ngħolli idejja u nsejjaħ ismek.
Bħal b’ikel mill-aħjar li jsemmen nimtela,
u jgħannilek fommi b’xufftejn ferrieħa. R/.

Għax int kont għajnuna għalija,
għad-dell ta’ ġwenħajk ngħanni bil-ferħ.
Miegħek tingħaqad ruħi,
int tweżinni bil-leminija tiegħek. R/.


QARI II
Offru ġisimkom bħala vittma safja.
Rum 12, 1-2

Qari mill-Ittra ta’ San Pawl Appostlu lir-Rumani

Nitlobkom ħuti, għall-ħniena ta’ Alla, offru ġisimkom b’sagrifiċċju ħaj, qaddis, jogħġob lil Alla, jiġifieri l-qima spiritwali tagħkom. Timxux max-xejra ta’ din id-dinja, iżda nbidlu skond it-tiġdid ta’ fehmietkom, biex iseħħilkom tagħrfu x’inhi r-rieda ta’ Alla, x’inhu ttajjeb li jogħġbu, x’inhu perfett.

Il-Kelma tal-Mulej
R/. Irroddu ħajr lil Alla


AKKLAMAZZJONI QABEL L-EVANĠELJU
Efes 1, 17-18

Hallelujah. R/. Hallelujah
Alla ta’ Sidna Ġesù Kristu,
jagħtikom spirtu ta’ għerf,
biex tagħrfu x’inhi t-tama tas-sejħa tagħkom.
R/. Hallelujah


EVANĠELJU
Jekk xi ħadd irid jiġi warajja, għandu jiċħad lilu nnifsu.
Mt 16, 21-27

Qari mill-Evanġelju skond San Mattew

F’dak iż-żmien, Ġesù beda juri lid-dixxipli tiegħu li kien meħtieġ għalih li jmur Ġerusalemm, isofri ħafna mix-xjuħ u l-qassisin il-kbar u l-kittieba, joqtluh, u fit-tielet jum iqum.

Pietru ġibdu lejh u beda jlumu u jgħidlu: “Allaħares, Mulej! Ma jkun qatt li dan jgħaddi minn għalik!”. Iżda Ġesù dar u qal lil Pietru: “Itlaq minn quddiemi, ja xitan! Int tfixkil għalija, għax m’intix tqis il-ħwejjeġ ta’ Alla, imma qiegħed taħsibha ta’ bniedem li int!”.

Imbagħad qal lid-dixxipli tiegħu: “Jekk xi ħadd irid jiġi warajja, għandu jiċħad lilu nnifsu, jerfa’ salibu, u jimxi warajja. Għax min irid isalva ħajtu, jitlifha, imma min jitlef ħajtu għall-imħabba tiegħi, isibha. Għax xi jkun jiswielu l-bniedem jekk jikseb id-dinja kollha u mbagħad jitlef ħajtu? Jew xi prezz se jagħti l-bniedem biex isalva ħajtu? Għax Bin il-bniedem għandu jiġi fil-glorja ta’ Missieru flimkien ma’ l-anġli tiegħu, u mbagħad irodd lil kull wieħed skond ma wieħed ikun għamel”.

Il-Kelma tal-Mulej
R/. Tifħir lilek Kristu
