Riflessjoni:Il-kitbiet ta’ San Bellarminu jgħinuna nifhmu li l-persuna ħajja ta’ Ġesù kif nsibuhafil-ħajja, il-mewt u l-qawmien tiegħu, hija l-għajn tar-rivelazzjoni sħiħa.L-għejun tal-fidi tagħna mhix biss ġabra ta’ duttrina, imma hija l-istess persuna ta’Kristu li għadha tgħix fil-Knisja llum. Meta Ġesù tela’ s-sema, lill-appostliwegħedhom li se jibqa’ magħhom.Saint of the DayMeditazzjoni ta’ San Ġwann Battista De La Salle:Med. 173, it-3 partiLove for suffering possessed the heart of Saint Francis so much, as well as love forpoverty, that considering how much Jesus Christ had suffered for him, he could notbe content, after he had left the world, to spend a single moment of his life withoutsuffering. This is why Jesus Christ suffering, who has always been the model ofthose who willingly suffer for the love of God, gave such delight to his heart that hecould neither keep nor satisfy himself from the contemplation of Jesus in this state.He fasted very rigorously almost all the year round. In winter he wore very littleclothing, which made him suffer very much from the cold. He often spent his nightsin prayer and took very severe disciplines.He practiced very harsh austerities, and he could say with Saint Paul that he wasattached to the cross with Jesus Christ. For this reason, one time when he was atprayer, a Seraphin imprinted on his body the sacred stigmata of the Passion. Hereceived this favor only after he had devoted himself to continual mortification.Imitate this great saint in the love he had for suffering, and see to it that either yourmind or your body is always mortified. May this mortification be so effective in youthat it reproduces on your body, so to speak, the sacred stigmata of Jesus Christcrucified.Missierna ...TALBAO Wiċċ Imqaddes,tas-Salvatur ħanin tiegħi,li bl-imħabba ħelwa ġejt imħaddanmill-qalb addolorata gu minfuda ta’ Marija Santissimawaqt il-passjoni ħarxa tiegħek,agħtina l-grazzja li naqsmu miegħekdan id-dulur hekk kbir ul-imħabbabiex nwettqu r-rieda qaddisa ta’ Alla,mill-aħjar li nistgħu.Ammen.EWTNSIGNUM FIDEI 35
