Bħalma f'parking area s-sewwieq jista' joqgħod jistrieħ jekk

jgħejja jsuq, u anke jinżel jiċċekkja xi ħoss jew difett li jkun

induna bih fit-triq, hekk ukoll in-nisrani jista', permezz ta' xi għaqda Kattolika, jakkwista dak li suppost għandu biex

jerġa' jaqbad il-vjaġġ u jimxi biċċa

l-quddiem fit-triq li qabad

Dan ix-xahar se nitkellmu dwar sinjal ieħor: tabella li jkun fiha l-ittra "P" kbira, biex turik li fil-qrib hemm parking area. Kemm hu importanti u kemm tagħmel kuraġġ meta taf li fejn sejjer hemm fejn tipparkja! Isserraħ moħħok mingħajr biża' li se jolqtulek il-vettura jew perikli oħrajn. Filwaqt li fit-toroq tagħna saret problema biex issib fejn tħalli l-karozza, fil-ħajja nisranija dawn il-parking areas qegħdin jiżdiedu.

Qed nirreferi għal diversi gruppi u

għaqdiet li nsibu fil-parroċċi tagħna (bħall-LINK u l-Youthville, per

eżempju), u anke fuq livell nazzjon-ali (bħas-Soċjetà M.U.S.E.U.M., iż-

Żgħażagħ Azzjoni Kattolika, il-

Legion of Mary, it-Tiġdid Kariż-matiku, il-Moviment tal-Fokolari u l-

Mixja Neokatekumenali). Hemm ukoll gruppi li jaħdmu fuq livell ta'

skola (il-Chrisco fil-Junior College, il-Comunio fl-MCAST u l-inYgo fl-

Università).

Qed insejħilhom parking areas għaliex il-bniedem li jidħol membru fihom isib il-mistrieħ, u jkun jista' jirrifletti fuq ħajtu filwaqt li jitbiegħed minn ċertu taħbit li jkun jgħix fil-mixja tal-ħajja.

Bħalma s-sewwieq iserraħ rasu meta jsib fejn jieqaf, hekk ukoll in-nisrani għandu jirringrazzja lil Alla tal-

ħafna għaqdiet u gruppi Kattoliċi li għandna f'pajjiżna.

U nirringrazzjaw tfisser: li napprezzaw, nagħmlu użu minn dawn il-gruppi, u nibżgħu għal xulxin meta nkunu

hemm. Bħalma sid il-karozza ma jeħux gost jekk isib

xi għafsa fil-bieba waqt li din tkun ġol-parking area, l-anqas min jattendi l-gruppi jew l-għaqdiet tal-knisja

ma jieħu gost jekk hemm ġew isib min ikun bla

kontroll, jew jagħmel il-ħsara lil ħaddieħor bi kliemu jew bl-imġiba tiegħu / tagħha.

Messagg tad-Direttur Fr Michael

Il-postijiet fejn tipparkja jridu jkunu aċċessibbli, jiġi-fieri jkunu fejn tista' ssibhom malajr. Niddejqu jekk ikollna nimxu ħafna biex naslu mill-parking area għal fejn irridu mmorru! Imma fil-qalba tal-ibliet u l-irħula tagħna, l-postijiet ikunu limitati. Għalhekk, numru ta' toroq qed jiġu attrezzati b'sinjali biex juruk kif u fejn għandek tipparkja biex ma teħux wisa' u ma tħallix il-vettura 'l barra ħafna mill-bankina jew li tissikka lil ħaddieħor. Hija ħasra li xi drabi ssib min jipparkja mhux skont is-sinjali, u jieħu wisa' ta' żewġ karozzi jew iżjed, speċjalment meta ninsabu f'pajjiż fejn it-wisa' huwa importanti ħafna. Nuqqas ta' attenzjoni jista' joħloq inkonvenjent lil nies li kellhom id-dritt u l-wisa' li jużaw dak l-ispazju li sewwieq ikun ħela' jew ħarbat.

Fil-gruppi u l-komunitajiet tagħna wkoll nistgħu nsibu ħela ta' enerġija u tbatija li setgħet ġiet evi-tata bi ftit tal-ħsieb. Fil-familja ġieli jiġri li membri jagħmlu l-istess biċċa xogħol fl-istess ħin, filwaqt li xogħol ieħor jitħalla barra. Ġo parroċċa nistgħu nsibu għaqdiet li jkunu qed iwettqu ħidma li diġa tkun qed titwettaq minn xi għaqda oħra, filwaqt li ċerti bżonnijiet ma jsir xejn dwarhom! Isir aktar ġid kieku nintebħu li hemm biżżejjed ħidma u spazju għal kulħadd, u nsibu fejn nindirizzaw l-enerġiji tagħna, mingħajr ma nidħlu fl-għalqa ta' ħaddieħor.

Tabella oħra li hija komuni fit-toroq tagħna hi dik imsejħa No Parking Sign. Dan hu sinjal li jurik li m'għandekx tipparkja f'dak il-post, għax tkun qed tagħmel il-ħajja diffiċli għal ħaddiehor, jew xi kultant anke għalik innifsek! Ġieli tkun triq dejqa li minnha jgħaddu l-karozzi tal-linja u għalhekk f'partijiet minnha ma tkunx tista' tieqaf. Ġieli anke qrib xi kantuniera. F'dan il-każ tintuża tabella li tissejjaħ No Waiting jew No Stopping. Pariġġ dawn it-tabelli nsibu wkoll linja jew żewġ linji sofor miżbugħin mal-art.

Ħafna nsara tajbin iħobbu jipparkjaw fejn mhux

suppost. Tara numru ta' nies li bi drawwa jisimgħu il

-quddies fil-bibien tal-knisja jew moħbijin wara xi kolonna jew fil-passaġġ minn fejn iridu jgħaddu n-

nies. Insibu oħrajn li jidhrilhom li għandhom jitolbu

ħdejn xi konfessjonarju fejn ma jħallux lil min irid iqerr il-libertà meħtieġa. Oħrajn jippretendu li

għandhom jitħallew jisimgħu il-quddies moħbijin fil-

kor jew fis-sagristija. Ħaġa komuni wkoll, speċjalment fix-xhur tas-sajf, li ssib min jibqa'

jitkellem ma' sħabu fil-pjazza jew fuq iz-zuntier tal-

knisja sas-sigħat bikrin ta' filgħodu! Din hi drawwa li żgur mhix konsiderazzjoni lejn oħrajn.

Insibu wkoll postijiet riżervati għal persuni b'diżabilità, jew inkella quddiem ċertu djar fejn,

jekk xi ħadd jipparkja wisq qrib tal-bankina, min ikun ġewwa ma jkunx

jista' joħroġ għax ikun ġo wheelchair. Peress li f'pajjiża għandna ħafna garaxxi-

jiet, numru ta' sewwieqa ma jkollhomx għażla oħra ħlief li jipparkjaw quddiem xi garaxx. Imma ssib min iħalli l-karozza hemm sigħat sħaħ. Oħrajn jużaw il-hazards u anke jħallu nota mal-windscreen, jew ikunu attenti għall-ħin biex ma jdumux aktar minn ftit minuti.

Catechesis for Adolescents Young Christian Workers

http://www.ycwimpact.com/page.php?page=3

The Vision

The Young Christian Workers wants a world where young people make a difference, in fact are the difference, to enable the transformation needed in order for everyone

to live a life of dignity, worthy of the Creator. The Mission

This vision is lived out by forming young Christian leaders. YCW calls people (aged

16-30) out of isolation into small groups where they come to know their true worth and dignity. It recognises that young people are the experts of their own reality and

are often the best-placed people to be the means of transformation in their own lives. Through a process of enquiry, reflection and action (See, Judge, Act, Review),

they grow as Christian leaders, serving, educating and representing other young people.

The Values

Dignity - Respect - Worth - Subsidiarity - Solidarity

Vocation Prayer

Help me to Know You gift me with all the good gifts that make me the person you created me to be. Help me to know and find your will and to trust that you will help me to understand the path you call me to journey in life. Where there is doubt give me courage. Give me a heart open to your quiet voice so I can hear your call to me. Help me to know your faithfulness and help me to be faithful to that which you call me to. Amen.

What is a vocation?

„God has created me to do him some definite service.‟ (Blessed John Henry Newman) Within the Church „vocation‟ is used in various ways so let‟s clarify those differ-ent meanings as they apply to Christian living. Everybody has a vocation and discovering that vocation is a key step on the journey of faith. The fundamental vocation is the call to be baptised or, for somebody baptised as a child, the call to affirm that baptism personally. To be baptised is to accept Christ‟s call to follow him in a new way of life. This is the way of holiness; it in-volves loving attention to the needs of others and to Christ, strengthened by the Holy Spirit and living as an active member of the Body of Christ, the Church. As a congress of church leaders put it: “Holiness is the universal vocation of every person. It is the main road onto which converge all the little paths that are par-ticular vocations.” The root meaning of vocation is calling and the first calling shared by all Christians is holiness as a member of the Church. .......read more at http://www.ukvocation.org/what-is-a-vocation
