Meditazzjoni ta’ San Ġwann Battista De La Salle:Med. 163, l-1 partiLet us honor the Most Blessed Virgin on her birthday and join in the quiteextraordinary joy felt by the entire Church, which today solemnly celebrates thishappy day when God brought into this world the woman who initiated the salvationof all people. God, who conducts all things with wisdom, having the plan to save hispeople and to be born like them, chose by preference a virgin who was worthy tobe his temple and his dwelling place. To prepare her just as he wished her to be, headorned her by the power of the Holy Spirit with all the natural and supernaturalqualities fitting for the one who would be the mother of God.It was necessary for this purpose that the body of this holy Virgin would be soperfectly formed and so well functioning from the time of her birth that it was able tocontribute to the holiness of her soul. In this way the Holy Spirit, coming upon her,put her in a state to find favour before God and to be the object of his delight. Hegave her such inner strength that she was able to resist all the attacks of the evilspirit that might have corrupted, or at least diminished, the purity of her heart.Oh, how very right it is that she who was destined to form a man-God would beentirely the work of God and the most perfect of pure creatures!Ħsieb mid-djarju ta’ Santa Veronika Giuliani:Kliem l-Imqaddsa Verġni Marija lil Santa Veronika waqt li din kienet mixruba f’Alla:“Binti kun af li meta ġie l-Anġlu Gabrijel jagħtini l-aħbar, min-naħa t’Alla li jista’kollox, jien kont f’qagħda li nagħraf sew li xejn ma jien għolja u li xejn ma niswa’; udan huwa t-taħriġ li nagħti lilek.”Kitbiet ta’ Santa Veronika Giuliani, maqlub għall-Malti minn P.Law.F Briffa ofmMissierna ...TALBA: MEMORARE:Ftakar ja l-iżjed ħanina Omm Verġni Marija,li qatt ma nstema’ li xi ħaddintefa’ taħt il-ħarsien tiegħek,talbek l-għajnuna jew fittex li tidħol għalihu inti ma smajtux.Imqanqal minn dan il-ħsieb għal għandek niġri,ja Verġni Omm tiegħi:għandek niġi, quddiemek noqgħod midneb u niedem,ja Omm l-Iben t’Alla magħmul bniedem.La tistmerx it-talb tiegħi, iżda ismagħni u weġibni.Ammen.SIGNUM FIDEI 17
