Għeżież ħbieb, Lulju jġib miegħu is-sħana u għalina l-Karmelitani l-festa Patronali tal-Madonna tal-Karmnu fis-16 u ta’ San Elija Missierna fl-20. Din is-sena niċċelebrawhom b’sens ta’ radd il-ħajr f’għeluq is-600 sena tal-miġja tagħna f’Malta mal-ftuħ tat-testment ta’ Margerita ta’ Aragona li mietet fl-1418. Il-festa devota tal-Madonna tal-Karmnu fl-Imdina tiġi ċċelebrata bejn it-12 u t-22 ta’ Lulju. […]

“Ngħixu bir-rażna u l-ġustizzja u t-tjieba f’dan iż-żmien” (Tit 2: 11-14) Wasalna biex niċċelebraw fil-kalendarju liturġiku il-qalba tas-sena tal-Knisja fil-mixja tagħna wara Ġesù fil-ħajja ta’ kuljum. Din il-qalba hija l-misteru tal-Għid tal-Mulej, l-Imsallab Irxuxtat li jgħix fina li għażilna li nilqgħu is-sejħa tiegħu biex nimxu warajh. Din il-Festa tal-festi nħejju għaliha b’erbgħin jum ta’ talb, […]

Misericordia et Misera, Mercy and Misery is the the title of the new apostolic letter sent by Pope Francis to the Church at the closing of the Jubilee of Mercy.
