Messagg ta’l- Arcipriet

Dawn il-granet huma granet specjali ghall-parrocca taghna fejn ilkoll ninghaqdu flimkien biex bid-diversita kollha niccelebraw il-festa tal-Patrun taghna San Filep. Bhal kull festa ohra li tigi ccelebrata madwar Malta, l-festa tal-Belt taghna De Rohan, hija espressjoni qawwija tal-komunita Parrokkjali taghna li tingabar flimkien biex trodd hajr lil Alla permezz tal-qaddis prottetur taghha San Filep tal-hafna grazzji li xehet fuqna matul din s-sena. Flimkien mas-Sacerdot Ludoviku Mifsud Thomasi, ilkoll nistghu ntennu parti mill-kurunella li kiteb hu snin ilu:

“O Qadddis Glorius Filippu

Ahna lilek minn zmien ilu

Prottettur dejjem ghazzejna

Biex ghalina titlob ‘l Alla

U biex thares helu lejna”

Ma ghandiex dubbju li San Filep li ahna dejjem zammejnieh bhala il-prottettur taghna, qieghed minn fejn Alla jhares lejna b’harsa helwa:

Ø meta flimkien nigbdu habel wiehed ghall-gid tal-Belt taghna;

Ø meta nkunu minn ta’ quddiem biex innaqsu l-firda ta’ bejnietna;

Ø meta nkunu lesti nahfru mill-qalb lil min naqassna;

Ø meta lesti ncedu bicca biex naslu ghal ftehim;

Ø meta nersqu lejn s-sagramenti tal-qrar u tat-tqarbin;

Ø meta naghtu kaz ta’ dak li jixtieq Alla minnha.

Meta naghmlu dan kollu ma ghandiex dubbju li San Filep jhares helu lejna.

Minn qalbi nixtieq li ilkoll naghmlu l-parti taghna biex San Filep jzomm il- ghaqda u l-imhabba gewwa l-qlub z-Zebbugin.

Il-festa t-tajba lil kulhadd

Kumment ta’ L-Arcipriet: Hafna kienu qed jistqsu x’hini is-sitwazzjoni finanzjarja tal-parrocca. Hassejt li ghandi nippublika dan ir-rapport finanzjarju ta’ dawn l-ahhar erba’ snin biex kulhadd ikollu idea ta’ kif inhi is-sitwazzjoni finanzjarja tal-parrocca taghna. Kif jidher kull sena qed ikollna zbilanc. Wiehed, pero ma ghandux jallarma ruhu. Jekk nahdmu bil-ghaqal konvint li kappaci nnaqsu l-ispejjez u jekk il-bixra posittiva fil-gbir inkomplu nsostnuha fiducjuz li fis-snin li gejjin imorru tajjeb. Nixtieq minn qalbi nirringrazzja lil benefatturi u lil kull min qed jaghti s-sehem tieghu biex nerfu dan il-piz flimkien.
