F\u2019dak i\u017c-\u017cmien, \u0120es\u00f9 qal lid-dixxipli tieg\u0127u: \u201cKunu g\u0127ajnejkom miftu\u0127a, ishru, g\u0127ax ma tafux meta se jasal il-waqt. Ji\u0121ri b\u0127al meta bniedem ikun siefer u telaq mid-dar, i\u0127alli kollox f\u2019idejn il-qaddejja tieg\u0127u, kull wie\u0127ed fuq xog\u0127lu, u lil tal-bieb jordnalu biex jibqa\u2019 jishar.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u2019Mark, id-dar (hi liema hi) hija simbolu tal-pro\u0121ett ta\u2019 Alla li jsalva lill-bniedem. G\u0127alhekk lill-paralitiku riedu bilfors ida\u0127\u0127luh fid-dar u mhux jistennew barra sakemm jo\u0127ro\u0121 \u0120esu\u2019, biex ida\u0127\u0127luh fil-pro\u0121ett ta\u2019 salvazzjoni ta\u2019 Alla permezz ta\u2019 \u0120esu\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Id-dar li da\u0127lu fiha l-Ma\u0121i kienet dar Alla, g\u0127ax dik it-Tarbija kienet Alla u bniedem; fiha qag\u0127du g\u0127al xi \u017cmien.

 Jekk inti tistqarr b\u2019fommok, \u2018\u0120es\u00f9 hu l-Mulej,\u2019 u temmen f\u2019qalbek li Alla qajmu mill-imwiet, inti ssalva. Wie\u0127ed jemmen f\u2019qalbu biex ikollu l-\u0121ustifikazzjoni, u jistqarr, b\u2019xofftejh biex ikollu s-salvazzjoni.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

L-Iskrittura tg\u0127id, \u2018Kull min jemmen fih ma jintilifx.\u2019 Ma hemm ebda g\u0127a\u017cla bejn Lhudi u Grieg; hu s-Sid ta\u2019 kul\u0127add, u g\u0127ani ma\u2019 dawk kollha li jsej\u0127ulu. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

G\u0127ax \u2018kull min isejja\u0127 isem il-Mulej isalva.\u2019 Imma kif jistg\u0127u jsej\u0127u lil min ma emmnux fih? Kif jistg\u0127u jemmnu f\u2019min ma semg\u0127ux bih? Kif jistg\u0127u jisimg\u0127u jekk ma jippritkawlhomx? Kif jistg\u0127u jippritkaw jekk ma jkunux mibg\u0127uta?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

L-Iskrittura tg\u0127id, \u2018Le\u0127inhom xtered mal-art kollha, u l-kelma tag\u0127hom la\u0127qet truf id-dinja.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

II-Ma\u0121i ma\u2019 kinux Lhud. Biex waslu li g\u0127arfu lil Alla veru, biex waslu jemmnu li dan Alla kien sar bniedem, u biex sabu d-dar tal-imwieled Messija, kellhom b\u017conn gwida \u010bara: il-kewkba. Ma kienu qatt jaslu sa din id-dar kieku ma sabux direzzjoni. San Pawl jurina tant tajjeb li l-Kelma mxandra hi d-direzzjoni ewlenija li kull bniedem g\u0127andu b\u017conn biex isib lil Alla.  \u201cFanal g\u0127al ri\u0121lejja kelmtek, Mulej, u dawl fil-mog\u0127dija tieg\u0127i\u201d (Salm 119, 105).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illum qed nag\u0127mlu l-festa tal-Appostlu Sant\u2019Andrija.

Sant,Andrija skopra dar il-Mulej, u dak inhar qag\u0127ad mieg\u0127u (\u0120w 1, 37-40). Kienet esperjenza qawwija, tant li malajr mar ji\u0121ri jg\u0127id lil \u0127uh. Sant\u2019Andirja ma kienx kuntent li sab id-dar hu, imma mill-ewwel ried ikun ta\u2019 gwida g\u0127al \u0127uh biex wkoll jiskopri dar il-Mulej. Sant\u2019Andrija dejjem iwassal nies o\u0127ra g\u0127and \u0120esu\u2019: lit-tifel bil-\u0127ob\u017ciet biex \u0120esu\u2019 kattarhom (\u0120w 6, 8-9), lil xi Griegi li xtaqu jaraw lil \u0120esu\u2019 (\u0120w 12, 22).

\u0120esu\u2019 jitkellem minn Elija li g\u0127andu ji\u0121i. Elija kien profeta li qanqal lill-poplu jer\u0121a\u2019 lura lejn Alla u j\u0127alli l-\u0127ajja tad-dnub. Id-dixxipli fehmu li meta \u0120esu\u2019 kien qed jitkellem dwar Elija, kien qed jirreferi g\u0127al \u0120wanni l-Battista, g\u0127ax \u0120wanni l-Battista wkoll sejjah g\u0127all-indiema meta g\u0127ammed fil-\u0120ordan.

Kien hemm ra\u0121el mibg\u0127ut minn Alla, jismu \u0120wanni. Dan \u0121ie b\u0127ala xhud, biex jixhed g\u0127ad-dawl, biex bih kul\u0127add jemmen. \u0120wanni ma kienx id-dawl, imma \u0121ie biex jixhed g\u0127ad-dawl. Ix-xhieda ta\u2019 \u0120wanni kienet din, meta l-Lhud ta\u2019 \u0120erusalemm bag\u0127tu g\u0127andu xi qassisin u Leviti biex jistaqsuh: \u201cInt min int?\u201d. Hu stqarr bla ma \u010ba\u0127ad: \u201cJien m\u2019iniex il-Messija\u201d. Huma re\u0121g\u0127u staqsewh: \u201cMela min int? Elija?\u201d \u201cM\u2019iniex\u201d, qalilhom. \u201cInt il-Profeta?\u201d \u201cLe\u201d, we\u0121ibhom. Imbag\u0127ad qalulu: \u201cMela min int? <\/em>Biex nag\u0127tu twe\u0121iba lil dawk li bag\u0127tuna. Min tg \u0127id li int?\u201d U hu wie\u0121eb kif qal il-profeta Isaija: \u201cJiena l-le\u0127en ta\u2019 wie\u0127ed jg\u0127ajjat fid-de\u017cert: Wittu t-triq tal-Mulej\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issa dawk il-messa\u0121\u0121iera kienu min-na\u0127a tal-Fari\u017cej. Huma staqsewh: \u201cMela kif qieg\u0127ed tg\u0127ammed la m\u2019intix il-Messija, u la Elija u lanqas il-Profeta?\u201d <\/em>\u201c<\/em>Jiena ng\u0127ammed bl-ilma\u201d, we\u0121ibhom \u0120wanni, \u201cimma f\u2019nofskom hemm wie\u0127ed li intom ma tafuhx, u li \u0121ej warajja; jien anqas ma jist\u0127oqqli n\u0127oll il-qafla tal-qorq tieg\u0127u\u201d.<\/em> <\/em>Dan \u0121ara f\u2019Betanja, in-na\u0127a l-o\u0127ra tal-\u0120ordan, fejn \u0120wanni kien jg\u0127ammed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il-Ma\u0121i kienu g\u0127orrief tassew g\u0127ax g\u0127arfu min kienu.

Li tkun taf min int hi grazzja, g\u0127ax tkun tista\u2019 \u017c\u017comm postok. \u0120wanni l-Battista kien jaf min hu; kien jaf li hu mhux il-Messija, anqas Elija, u lanqas il-profeta. G\u0127araf li kien le\u0127en li kellu j\u0127ejji t-triq g\u0127all-Kelma nkarnata, g\u0127all-Messija.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inkunu kapa\u010bi nag\u0127rfu minn tassew a\u0127na, jekk niddawlu mid-dawl ta\u2019 Alla nnifsu. Meta ng\u0127ixu f\u2019Alla mhux biss ninteb\u0127u min a\u0127na, imma wkoll nag\u0127rfu l-missjoni tag\u0127na.

U qal Natan lis-sultan: \u201cKull ma g\u0127andek fi \u0127siebek li tag\u0127mel, mur ag\u0127mlu, g\u0127ax il-Mulej mieg\u0127ek\u201d. Imma dak il-lejl stess \u0121iet il-kelma tal-Mulej lil Natan u qallu: <\/em>\u201c<\/em>Mur g\u0127id lill-qaddej tieg\u0127i David: <\/em>\u2018<\/em>Dan jg\u0127id il-Mulej: Se tibnili int dar biex noqg\u0127od fiha? Ara, jiena \u0127adtek mill-merg\u0127at minn wara l-imrie\u0127el biex tkun prin\u010bep fuq il-poplu tieg\u0127i I\u017crael. Dejjem kont mieg\u0127ek f\u2019kull ma kont tid\u0127ol g\u0127alih; u meta int qridt l-g\u0127edewwa tieg\u0127ek kollha minn quddiemek. Issa jiena nibnilek isem kbir jixbah l-ismijiet il-kbar li hawn fid-dinja. Nag\u0127mel post g\u0127all-poplu tieg\u0127i I\u017crael, u nqieg\u0127du hemm fejn jg\u0127ammar bla bi\u017ca\u2019, u ma jg\u0127akksuhx i\u017cjed il-\u0127\u017ciena b\u0127alma g\u0127amlu sa minn dejjem, ji\u0121ifieri sa minn meta qajjimt l-im\u0127allfin fuq il-poplu tieg\u0127i I\u017crael; u nserr\u0127ek mill-g\u0127edewwa tieg\u0127ek kollha. Lilek imbag\u0127ad il-Mulej jag\u0127tik kelma li jibnilek dar. U meta inti ttemm \u017cmienek, u tkun stri\u0127ajt ma\u2019 missirijietek, jiena nqajjem nislek warajk, nisel \u0127iere\u0121 mill-\u0121ewwieni tieg\u0127ek, u nsa\u0127\u0127a\u0127 is-saltna tieg\u0127u.

David g\u0127araf dak li Alla kien g\u0127amel mieg\u0127u matul \u0127ajtu, b\u2019mod spe\u010bjali tul i\u017c-\u017cmien li dam isaltan fuq I\u017crael. G\u0127alhekk, xtaq li jibni tempju lill-Mulej b\u0127ala rigal. David kien lest li jag\u0127mel kull ma jista\u2019 biex id-dar li xtaq jibni lil Alla, tkun wa\u0127da xierqa; ried joffri l-a\u0127jar. Imma Alla wrieh, permezz tal-profeta Natan, li ma kienx b\u017conn id-dar ta\u2019 David; minflok Alla wieg\u0127du li jag\u0127tih aktar milli kien di\u0121a\u2019 tah; wieg\u0127ed li jsa\u0127\u0127a\u0127lu l-familja tieg\u0127u u tibqa\u2019 g\u0127al dejjem, billi jqajjem minn nislu lis-sultan ta\u2019 dejjem \u2013 lil \u0120esu\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L-istess \u0121est narawh fil-Ma\u0121i.  Meta g\u0127arfu dak li Alla g\u0127amel mag\u0127hom, l-aktar tul il-vja\u0121\u0121 lejn I\u017crael, fet\u0127u t-te\u017cori tag\u0127hom u xtaqu joffrulu b\u2019rigal l-a\u0127jar. Imma Alla ried jag\u0127tihom aktar, ried joffrilhom pa\u010bi u fer\u0127 fil-qalb tag\u0127hom li jibqa\u2019 g\u0127al dejjem.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan l-innu \u0127are\u0121 mill-fomm u mill-qalb ta\u2019 \u017bakkarija; qisu b\u0127al feta\u0127 it-te\u017cor ta\u2019 qalbu u minnu \u0127are\u0121 innu ta\u2019 gratitudni u radd il-\u0127ajr lil Alla.

L-innijiet u t-talb iridu jkun esperessjoni sin\u010biera ta\u2019 dak li hemm fil-qlub tag\u0127na.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waqt il-litur\u0121ija nsibu diversi \u0121esti, simboli u kliem li jesprimu dak li hemm fi qlubna, imma noqog\u0127du attenti biex ma jsirux biss \u010berimonji fierg\u0127a.  Il-Ma\u0121i offrewlu l-in\u010bens; ma g\u0127amlux dan b\u2019formalita\u2019 imma biex jesprimu li huma g\u0127arfuh b\u0127ala Alla tag\u0127hom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ma\u2019 nersqux g\u0127all-quddies bi drawwa imma naraw li tassew inkunu \u0127a\u0121a wa\u0127da ma\u2019 \u0120esu\u2019, hu li joffri lilu nnifsu lill-Missier g\u0127as-salvazzjoni tag\u0127na.

Dan nag\u0127mluh wara li nkunu mtlejna bil-Kelma li tkun \u0121iet proklamata lilna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u2019dik il-\u0127abta \u010aesari Awgustu \u0127are\u0121 digriet biex isir \u010bensiment fid-dinja kollha. Dan kien l-ewwel \u010bensiment li sar meta Kirinu kien gvernatur tas-Sirja. U kul\u0127add mar biex jinkiteb, kull wie\u0127ed fil-belt tieg\u0127u.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0120u\u017ceppi wkoll mar mill-Galilija, mill-belt ta\u2019 Nazaret, u tala\u2019 l-Lhudija, fil-belt ta\u2019 David jisimha Betlehem \u2013 g\u0127ax hu kien mid-dar u l-familja ta\u2019 David \u2013 biex jinkiteb flimkien ma\u2019 Marija l-g\u0127arusa tieg\u0127u, li kienet tqila.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0120ara li, meta kienu hemm, Marija g\u0127alqilha \u017c-\u017cmien biex te\u0127les, u wildet l-ewwel iben tag\u0127ha, fisqietu u medditu f\u2019maxtura, g\u0127ax ma kienx hemm post g\u0127alihom fil-lukanda.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u2019dawk l-in\u0127awi kien hemm xi rg\u0127ajja fir-raba\u2019, g\u0127assa mal-mer\u0127la tag\u0127hom billejl. U dehrilhom an\u0121lu tal-Mulej, il-glorja tal-Mulej iddiet madwarhom, u qabadhom bi\u017ca\u2019 kbir. I\u017cda l-an\u0121lu qalilhom: \u201cTib\u017cg\u0127ux, g\u0127ax araw, qieg\u0127ed in\u0127abbrilkom fer\u0127 kbir, fer\u0127 li se jkun g\u0127all-poplu kollu. Illum, fil-belt ta\u2019 David, twildilkom Salvatur, li hu l-Messija, il-Mulej. U b\u0127ala sinjal ikollkom dan: issibu tarbija mfisqija u mimduda f\u2019maxtura\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u2019daqqa wa\u0127da ng\u0127aqdu mal-an\u0121lu g\u0127add kbir ta\u2019 qtajja\u2019 tas-sema, ifa\u0127\u0127ru lil Alla u jg\u0127idu: <\/em>\u201c<\/em>Glorja lil Alla fl-og\u0127la tas-smewwiet, u sliem fl-art lill-bnedmin li jog\u0127\u0121bu lilu!\u201d<\/em>.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ninsabu f\u2019so\u010bjeta\u2019 ta\u2019 bnedmin li jinteressha \u0127afna min-numri; so\u010bjeta\u2019 li tkejjel is-su\u010b\u010bessi; isiru surveys<\/em> u studji biex naraw hux qed nirnexxu jew le. Inkejlu kemm g\u0127andna likes<\/em> fuq xi post<\/em> li nkunu qeg\u0127dna fuq il-mezzi so\u010bjali.  Ng\u0127oddu kemm kien hemm nies waqt xi attivita\u2019 li \u0121iet organizzata, e\u010b\u010b. Dan mhux xi \u0127a\u0121a tal-lum biss; fi \u017cmien \u0120esu\u2019 di\u0121a\u2019 niltaqg\u0127u ma\u2019 \u010bensimenti.  Fi\u010b-\u010bensimenti kull bniedem isir numru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imma g\u0127al Alla mhux hekk; a\u0127na ma a\u0127niex numri g\u0127alih. Fil-Milied niftakru li wie\u0127ed g\u0127amel id-differenza kollha fl-umanita\u2019; wie\u0127ed biddel il-\u0127ajjiet ta\u2019 \u0127afna u \u0127afna nies; wie\u0127ed kien is-Salvatur ta\u2019 kul\u0127add.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u2019g\u0127ajnejn Alla a\u0127na lkoll prezzju\u017ci, ilkoll te\u017cori; hu jafna b\u2019isimna u j\u0127ares lejna b\u0127ala ulied. It-twelid ta\u2019 \u0120esu\u2019 wassal biex a\u0127na nsiru ulied adottivi tieg\u0127u.  Meta nag\u0127rfu li a\u0127na ulied, nag\u0127rfu wkoll lil Alla b\u0127ala Missier.  F\u2019din il-familja ta\u2019 Alla nsibu l-im\u0127abba vera li twassalna biex ninfet\u0127u bera\u0127 waqt li nift\u0127u bera\u0127 it-te\u017cori tag\u0127na, bla ma n\u017commu u nipprote\u0121u xejn g\u0127alina nfusna. Dan li g\u0127amlu l-Ma\u0121i. Huma fet\u0127u bera\u0127 it-te\u017cori tag\u0127hom bla ma baqg\u0127u jipprote\u0121u dak li \u0121arrew mag\u0127hom tul it-triq kollha; infet\u0127u bera\u0127 g\u0127al Alla waqt li fet\u0127u bera\u0127 it-te\u017cori tag\u0127hom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
