Pope in St Peter's Square

Meta bħal kull nhar ta’ Ħadd, ilbieraħ il-Kap tal-Knisja Kattolika tfaċċa fit-tieqa tal-istudju tiegħu fuq Pjazza San Pietru fil-Vatikan, huwa indirizza lill-folla u fir-rimarki tiegħu rrefera għat-tifkira tal-magħmudija tal-Mulej biex ħa l-okkażjoni jistieden lill-kattoliċi jikkontemplaw is-sehem tagħhom fil-ħajja divina permezz tad-don tal-Ispirtu s-Santu li rċevew bis-simboliżmu tal-ilma fil-magħmudija.

Wara li nhar is-Sibt 5 ta’ Jannar 2013, mil-Kappella tal-Isptar Boffa insterqu żewġ pissidijiet li kien fihom Ostji Kkonsagrati, l-Arċisqof Pawlu Cremona O.P. jirrikmanda li fil-knejjes parrokjali u fl-oħrajn ukoll, matul il-ġimgħa d-dieħla, issir siegħa ta’ Adorazzjoni Solenni lill-Ġesù Sagramentat, bħala sinjal ta’ fidi, ta’ mħabba, ta’ adorazzjoni u fuq kollox, ta’ tpattija għal dan id-delitt.

sqfijiet mill-Amerika ta’ Fuq u l-Ewropa ikkonkludew b’appell għat-talb għall-paċi l-pellegrinaġġ annwali tagħhom b’solidarejta mal-Insara tal-Art Imqaddsa.

Fi stqarrija finali, l-Isqfijiet qalu li il-poplu fir-reġjun qed jgħix ġrajjiet imdallma u drammatiċi. B’eżempju semmew il-kunflitt f’Gaża u dak fin-nofsinhar ta’ Israel, kif ukoll il-gwerra ċivili fis-Sirja u l-polarizzazzjoni dejjem tikber bejn Israel u l-Palestina.

Dawn l-iżviluppi, komplew jiktbu li ħolqu ansjeta qawwija għal kulħadd, partikolarment għall-popolazzjoni nisranija dejjem titnaqqar… Kompli aqra »
