Fil-gratitudni

 

 

Għażiż aħwa, aħwa, saċerdoti maħbuba, u ħbieb fi Kristu. Irrid nieħu mument fil-bidu ta 'din is-sena biex naġġornak fuq dan il-ministeru u nieħu mument ukoll biex nirringrazzjak.

Qattajt ħin matul il-vaganzi naqra kemm nista 'ittri li bgħatt intom, kemm f'ittri tal-posta elettronika kif ukoll postali. Jiena tant imbierek inkredibbilment bil-kliem ġentili tiegħek, talb, inkoraġġiment, appoġġ finanzjarju, talbiet għal talb, karti qaddisa, ritratti, stejjer u imħabba. X’familja sabiħa sar dan l-appostolat żgħir, li jinfirex madwar id-dinja mill-Filippini sal-Ġappun, mill-Awstralja għall-Irlanda, mill-Ġermanja għall-Amerika, mir-Renju Unit lejn art twelidi l-Kanada. Aħna konnessi bil- "Kelma magħmula laħam", li jiġi għandna fil- kliem żgħir li Huwa jispira permezz ta ’dan il-ministeru.

I want you to know that I read every letter that comes to me. When you send your prayer requests, I stop for a moment, lay my hand upon them, and pray for you and your loved ones, your situations, your trials, and place your tears in the basket of Our Lady’s heart to bring them to Jesus, that He may multiply a bounty of blessings upon you. And I offer my prayers each day for kollha my readers, viewers, and benefactors and for all whom I have promised to pray for.

I also want to apologize that I simply am not physically able to respond to every letter that comes to me. But they are read, appreciated, and received with ħafna love and care.

 

L-APOSTOLAT TIEGĦI

As many of you know, I recently began a new direction with my ministry by launching in December, 2013, Il-Kelma Issa, a daily reflection on the Mass readings. The response was immediate and unanimously positive, which says to me to ibqa 'għaddej with these meditations. I am taking time with my family over these holy holidays, and so will resume Il-Kelma Issa on January 6th (you can subscribe to them at no cost hawn).

I will of course continue with the general writings that you have come to know that deal with the extraordinary times we are living in. As I wrote to you recently, my sense is that the Spirit is shifting the angle of these writings more to becoming a division of “the field hospital” that Pope Francis is encouraging the Church to become (see L-Isptar tal-Qasam).

The remaining question for me is what the Lord wishes me to do with Tħaddan it-Tama, the webcast arm of my ministry. You see, my friends, it’s just me here. I have one staff member who handles the retail aspects of my music, book, and other items, and my wife who handles the website design and management. And then it’s me. I can only do so much. To record my music, webcasts, edit them, write to you, manage our little farm, and raise eight children… my plate is full! However, I am still praying about creative ways to use my webcasts as the Lord leads. Please offer a pray for that too, as I know many of you have really benefited from these broadcasts (see them at Tħaddan it-Tama).

 

MY FAMILY

In October last year, I wrote about Ir-Rivoluzzjoni Franġiskana quietly taking place in the Church. I wrote that my wife and I feel called to respond more directly to Our Lord’s words to Mur, ibiegħ kollox ... ejja, u segwini. And so, we have been trying to be faithful to those words as best we can in our circumstances. Our farm has been up for sale now since then; we have been selling off whatever is not absolutely essential, and preparing ourselves to move where the Spirit is leading us. At this time, we are being drawn to the East Coast, but are continuing to pray and discern that.

I mentioned also that I have been dealing with a health issue: dizziness, losing my balance, and at times an inability to properly focus. I am seeing the doctors, trying to eliminate any other causes before we take a look at what’s happening between my ears. So thanks so much for your prayers.

So from all of my family, and from the deepest part of my heart, we extend our gratitude, love, and prayers for all of you that this New Year may bring you a deep sense of God’s presence, love, and care for you.

The LORD bless you and keep you!
The LORD let his face shine upon you,
and be gracious to you!
The LORD look upon you kindly and give you peace!
(Num 6: 24-26)


With love and prayers for a blessed 2014, from The Mallett Clan
