Il-kliem tiegħi hu ħajja tar-ruħ; u ma għandux jintiżenbħalma jintiżen kliem ieħor. Kliemi ma għandux jinstama’, hekk, għall-pjaċir fieragħ,imma bis-skiet u l-ġabra, bl-umilta u b’għożża kbira”.Meditazzjoni ta’ San Ġwann Battista De La Salle:Med. 109, it-2 partiSaint Gregory suffered throughout his life with extreme patience. First, he practicedexcessive austeries as a religious. Second, the pains of gout made his body soemaciated that it was difficult to recognize him. Third, he suffered from persecution;Emperor Maurice, who had been his close friend, became a cruel enemy andwished to deprive him of his title of Universal Patriarch of the Church. In all thisGregory imitated the holy man Job, whose spirit he had thoroughly absorbed whilewriting a commentary on the Book of Job. The only remedy he used in all thissuffering was recourse to prayer, in which he found great support; God became hisprotector in his sufferings and in the opposition he met.Do you love the sufferings found in your state? Do you endure them with as muchpatience as Saint Gregory loved and suffered his? If you truly possess the spirit ofyour state, God will make you discover in it all sorts of consolations, even in yoursuffering.Missierna ...TALBAMulej Ġesù,bħalma biddilt l-ilma, fit-tieġ ta’ Kana,fi nbid l-aktar bnin u ħelu,biddel ukoll ix-xejn tiegħi.Dak l-ilma sempliċi, dgħajjef u bla togħma,inbidel fi nbid li jsaħħar. U dan sar bil-qawwa tiegħek.Ġesù, nitolbok biex tagħmel l-istess bija.Ilqa’ d-dgħjufija tiegħi,il-qtigħ ta’ qalb, in-nuqqas ta’ fidiu l-ħtijiet kollha tiegħi.Ammen.Fwar tal-Qalb - Ronnie Guaci8 SIGNUM FIDEI
