Nhar il-Ħadd, l-1 ta’ Diċembru l-Knisja tat bidu għas-sena liturġika tagħha permezz tal-ewwel Ħadd tal-Avvent. Dan hu żmien li fih il-Knisja tħeġġeġ lill-insara kollha sabiex jiftakru iktar fit-tieni miġja ta’ Kristu waqt li wkoll jippreparaw biex jiċċelebraw il-festa tal-Milied.  Dan hu wkoll żmien partikulari fil-ħajja tas-Seminarju, għax fih il-programm tas-Seminarju jieħu svolta differenti waqt li l-ambjent tas-seminarju jilbes l-ilbies festiv tal-Milied.

Il-komunità tas-Seminarju tat bidu għal dan iż-żmien nhar it-Tnejn, 2 ta’ Diċembru, permezz tat-Tħabbira tal-Avvent.  Din hi ċelebrazzjoni li ssir ta’ kull sena u li tinkludi fiha qari ta’ lezzjoni mill-Iskrittura flimkien ma’ spjagazzjoni tagħha, bl-iskop li tħeġġeġ lill-komunità biex tħejji ruħha għall-miġja ta’ Kristu; u l-preżentazzjoni flimkien mat-tberik tal-ikona li se takkompanja lill-komunità tul din is-sena.  Wara li jsiru xi invokazzjonijiet ir-Rettur jindika xi tibdiliet fil-programm tal-komunità, li jkunu se jieħdu posthom tul dawn il-ġranet, biex ifakkruna li dan hu żmien speċjali. L-ikona, miktuba apposta għal din is-sena minn Loreta Grech, ġiet ispirata mis-silta:  “Hawn hi Ommok”, meħuda minn Ġw 19,27. Hija l-kelma li Ġesù minn fuq is-salib qal lid-dixxiplu l-maħbub tiegħu Ġwanni waqt li tah lil Marija biex tkun Ommu.

Dan hu wkoll żmien li fih nibdew naraw l-ambjent ta’ madwarna jilbes il-libsa tal-Milied, u dan ma jonqosx fis-seminarju fejn is-seminaristi kif ukoll il-formators jieħdu ħsieb li jżejnu s-seminarju bl-istatwi ta’ Ġesu’ Bambin, b’siġar, dwal, u anke il-presepju ma jonqosx.

Matul iż-żmien tal-Avvent il-liturġija fis-Seminarju tkun xi ftit differenti. Ta’ kuljum filgħodu kmieni jiġi ċċelebrat l-Uffiċċju tal-Qari. Dan jiġi ċċelebrat f’ambjent ta’ dawl baxx u bix-xemgħat, b’sens ta’ stennija. Waqt il-quddiesa issir ukoll spjega qasira tal-Liturġija tal-Kelma minn wieħed mill-formators, waqt li fiż-żmien tan-Novena din issir mis-seminaristi. Marbuta wkoll ma’ dan iż-żmien hija Quddiesa, li l-komunita’ tas-seminarju tiċċelebra f’għar li jinsab fir-raħal tax-Xagħra, fejn l-ambjent tal-għar u d-dawl tax-xema tgħin iktar biex wieħed jidħol fl-atmosfera tal-Milied u jħalli l-ħsieb tiegħu itir lejn il-ġrajja ta’ Betlehem, fejn l-Iben ta’ Alla sar bniedem.

Huwa wkoll żmien marbut mar-rigali, u dan ma jonqosx ukoll fl-ambjent fratern tas-Seminarju fejn is-seminaristi u l-formators jagħtu rigali lil xulxin. Iktar mill-valur tar-rigal, dan juri sens ta’ ġenerozita’ u għotja fejn il-persuna tkun lesta li taqsam ma’ ħaddieħor b’mod partikulari ma’ dawk li int ma tkun qed tistenna xejn mingħandhom. Dan joħroġ b’mod partikulari fl-attivita’ li s-seminarju jorganizza ta’ kull sena fejn iżur post li fih jinsabu jgħixu nies fil-bżonn. Din is-sena, il-komunita’ għamlet żjara lid-dar tal-anzjani li tinsab fir-raħal ta’ San Lawrenz, fejn wara li ċċelebrat ma’ din il-Komunita’ il-quddiesa, tqassam rigal żgħir lill-anzjani li jgħixu f’din ir-residenza, waqt li s-seminaristi animaw lill-anzjani bil-kant tal-innijiet tal-Milied.

Dan hu wkoll żmien li fih is-seminaristi jkollhom ukoll xi ftit tal-vaganzi sabiex igawdu xi ftit aktar lill-familja. Għalhekk nhar il-Ġimgħa 21 ta’ Diċembru filgħaxija s-seminaristi bdew il-waqfa tagħhom għall-Milied. Mons. Isqof Mario Grech, dakinhar filgħaxija, ġie s-Seminarju jmexxi l-quddiesa ta’ radd il-ħajr fi tmiem l-ewwel term.  Għal din il-quddiesa kienu mistiedna l-ġenituri tas-seminaristi.

Min hawn f’isem il-komunita’ nixtiequ nawgurawlkom Milied hieni u l-isbaħ xewqat għas-Sena l-Ġdida.

On Monday, 2^nd December, the Annunciation of Advent marked the beginning of events for the Seminary community.  This is an annual celebration which includes the reading of a passage from the Scriptures followed by a short explanation.  The aim of this celebration is to encourage the community to prepare itself for the coming of Christ.  It includes also the presentation and blessing of the icon which will accompany the community during the year.  Invocations follow, and then the Rector refers to the changes in the programme of events in the Seminary.  These changes remind one and all that the coming days are special.  The icon for this year, written by Loreta Grech, was inspired by the extract: “Here is your Mother”, from Jn 19,7.  This is the phrase which the crucified Christ said to John, his beloved disciple,  while bequeathing to him Mary as his mother.

These are days during which the environment around us wears a festive dress, and the Seminary too decks itself for the festivities with the statue of Baby Jesus, Christmas trees, lights and the crib.

During Advent, the liturgy at the Seminary is different.  Every day, early in the morning, there is the celebration of the Divine Office, held in an environment of dim light and candles, a sign of expectation.  At Mass, one of the formators gives a short explanation of the Liturgy of the Word.  During the Novena, this explanation is given by one of the seminarians.  Another Mass is said annually in a cave at Xagħra.  The dim candlelight and the natural environment of the cave makes it easier for the mind to go back to the Nativity of Christ in the cave at Betlehem.

Christmas time is linked with the exchange of gifts and this practice is followed also In the homely environment of the Seminary where seminarians and formators exchange gifts.  It is not the cost of the gift that matters.  What matters is the sense of generosity and giving that this exchange of gifts entails, for it shows that a person is ready to give to others without expecting anything in return.  This spirit is shared particulary every year when the Seminary community pays a visit to a home housing the needy.  This year the community visited the home of the elderly at San Lawrenz. A Mass was celebrated at the home and then the seminarians sang Christmas carols and distributed gifts to the residents.

Christmastime is holiday time, for the seminarians return home to celebrate Christmas with their family.  The holidays started on Friday evening, 21^st December.  That same evening Mgr Bishop Grech celebrated a Mass of thanksgiving to mark the end of term.  The parents of the seminarians participated in this Mass.

On behalf of the community, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Nhar il-Ġimgħa, 13 ta’ Diċembru, l-abbatini u l-membri tal-gruppi tal-vokazzjonijiet kienu mistiedna s-Seminarju fejn ta’ kull sena tiġi organizzata għalihom attività tal-Milied.  Din is-sena wkoll, grupp sabiħ ta’ tfal attendew għal din l-attività.

L-attività bdiet b’laqgħa fis-sala tas-Seminarju, immexxiha mid-Djaknu Daniel Sultana.  Wara dawk preżenti ġew imqassma fi tliet gruppi: tal-primarja, tal-forms 1 u 2 u tal-forms 3 u 4 sabiex jieħdu sehem f’xi logħob u attivitajiet oħra li ġew organizzati għalihom mis-seminaristi.

Fi tmiem l-attività Mons. Isqof żar lil kull grupp ta’ tfal u wrihom l-apprezzament tiegħu għas-servizz li huma jwettqu fil-knejjes parrokkjali u fil-kappelli li hawn imxerrda madwar Għawdex.  Awguralhom l-isbaħ xewqat għall-Milied u f’isem is-seminaristi ppreżentalhom ir-rigal tal-Milied.

Intant filgħaxija ġiet organizzata attività għall-membri tal-gruppi tal-vokazzjonijiet minn form 5 il-fuq. L-attività bdiet b’mumenti ta’ talb u adorazzjoni flimkien mas-seminaristi fil-Kappella u wara setgħu iqattgħu ftit ħin flimkien. L-attività kienet imżewqa b’logħob, ikel, kif ukoll b’mumenti rikreattivi fejn l-istudenti u s-seminaristi kellhom iċ-ċans li jitkellmu u jsiru jafu aħjar lil xulxin.

On Friday, 13^th December, the altar boys and members of Vocation Groups were invited for the annual Christmas activity at the Seminary.  A fairly large group of boys attended this activity.

Deacon Daniel Sultana opened the activity by a talk to the boys at the Seminary hall. The boys were then divided into three groups: Primary school students, Forms 1 and 2 students, and Forms 3 and 4 students. These groups participated in games and various activities prepared for them by the seminarians.

Mgr Bishop Grech met all the participants and showed his appreciation for the services that the boys render in the parochial churches and the various chapels round the island.  He exchanged with them the season’s greetings and, on behalf of the seminarians, he gave them Christmas presents.

That same afternoon, another activity was held for the Vocation Groups whose members are students attending Form 5 and the post secondary schools.  The students joined the seminarians at prayer and moments of Adoration in the chapel.  Then they shared moments of recreation which included games and refreshments.  Seminarians and students had the opportunity to chat and to get to know one another better.

Nhar il-Ħadd, 15 ta’ Diċembru, fil-knisja parrokkjali tal-Madonna ta’ Loreto f’Għajnsielem, l-Isqof ta’ Għawdex Mons. Mario Grech ta l-Ministeru tal-Akkolitat lis-seminaristi Joseph Attard mill-parroċċa taż-Żebbuġ u Mario Curmi mill-parroċċa tax-Xagħra. Permezz tal-Ministeru tal-Akkolitat lil dawn is-seminaristi ingħatatilhom il-fakultà li jgħinu fit-Tqarbin Imqaddes waqt il-Liturġija kif ukoll fid-djar tal-morda., waqt li jkomplu f’mixja ta’ formazzjoni lejn is-saċerdozju.

Fl-omelija, l-Isqof Grech tkellem dwar Ġwanni l-Battista bħala mudell tal-virtù tal-umiltà.  Għalkemm hu kien bniedem sod f’fehmietu, mill-ħabs ta’ Erodi fejn kien miżmum hu ried ikompli jistħarreġ l-għarfien tiegħu ta’ min hu Kristu, biex ukoll jagħraf aħjar lilu nnifsu.  Fi kliem l-Isqof Grech, dan hu messaġġ ċar għall-komunità Nisranija li qed titħejja għall-Milied.  Aħna trabbejna f’kultura Nisranija bir-riskju li naħsbu li lil Ġesù nafuh biżżejjed.  Imma anki aħna bħal Ġwanni għandna bżonn nagħrfu lil Ġesù iżjed u nistħarrġu lilna nfusna aħniex ngħixu bil-fedeltà s-sejħa Nisranija tagħna.

L-eżempju tal-Battista jgħodd ukoll għall-Akkoliti l-ġodda f’mixja ta’ formazzjoni lejn il-ministeru saċerdotali.  Mhux biżżejjed li jkunu jafu lil Ġesù mill-klassijiet tal-formazzjoni tat-Teoloġija u t-talb personali.  F’din il-fażi ta’ dixxerniment tagħhom, jeħtieġ jitolbu lil Alla d-don tal-umiltà u bħal Ġwanni ma jehdew qatt jistaqsu jafux biżżejjed lill-Mulej Ġesù waqt li jkomplu jistħarrġu wkoll lilhom infushom.  Dan hu l-ministeru profetiku fil-Knisja, tenna l-Isqof.

On Sunday, 15^th December, at the parochial church of Our Lady of Loreto at Għajnsielem, Mgr Mario Grech, Bishop of Gozo, bestowed the Ministry of the Acolytate to Seminarian Joseph Attard from the Żebbuġ Parish and to Seminarian Mario Curmi from the Xagħra Parish.  With this Ministry the new acolytes can give Holy Communion during Mass and at the homes of the sick and the elderly.  This ministry is a further step in their  formation for priesthood.

In his homily, Mgr Bishop Grech talked about John the Baptist as a model of the virtue of humility. John the Baptist was a man of principle, but still he wanted to strengthen his beliefs in Christ and in himself even though he was in Herod’s prison.  Bishop Grech said that this serves as a clear message to the Catholic community during its preparation for Christmas.  Having been reared up in a Catholic culture, we run the risk of believing that there is nothing more left for us to know about Christ.  However, we too, like John the Baptist, need to know a lot more about Christ and we need to know a lot more also about ourselves, to determine whether or not we are being faithful to our Catholic call.

The example of John the Baptist needs to be followed also by the new Acolytes during their years of formation for priesthood.  Knowing Jesus through lessons of Theology during their years of formation and through personal prayer, is not enough.  During this phase of discernment they need to pray God to instil in them the virtue of humility and follow John’s example in an unending query about Christ and about themselves.  The Bishop ended his homily by saying that this is the prophetical ministry of the Church.

Nhar it-8 ta’ Diċembru, il-Knisja Kattolika tiċċelebra s-Solennita’ tal-Immakulata Kunċizzjoni. Din il-festa għandha rabta speċjali mas-Seminarju tagħna, minħabba l-fatt li l-Kappella tas-Seminarju għandha bħala titular tagħha l-Immakulata Kunċizzjoni.

Minħabba li din is-sena, s-Solennita’ tal-Immakulata ħabtet il-Ħadd, bħala komunita’ ċċelebrajna din il-festa xi ftit b’differenza mis-soltu. Għalhekk is-Sibt f’nofsinhar Mons. Isqof ingħaqad mal-komunità fis-Seminarju għat-Talba ta’ Nofs il-Jum. Wara l-Lezzjoni Qasira d-Djaknu Daniel Sultana għamel omelija tal-okkażjoni.

Imbagħad kellna l-ikla tal-festa, li għaliha kienu mistiedna wkoll l-għalliema u l-formators, flimkien ma’ Mons. Isqof.

Is-Sibt filgħaxija imbagħad, is-seminaristi taw is-servizz tagħhom waqt il-kant tal-Għasar li kien iċċelebrat fil-Katidral.

L-għada l-Ħadd, is-seminaristi ħadu sehem fil-Pontifikal li Mons. Isqof mexxa fil-Katidral u filgħaxija ingħaqadna mal-Komunita tal-Patrijiet Franġiskani Konventwali li kienu qed jiċċelebraw il-festa titulari tal-Immakulata Kunċizzjoni fejn ħadna sehem fil-quddiesa ta’ filgħaxija li kienet immexxija mir-Rettur tas-Seminarju flimkien mal-formators.

Kif imħabbar iktar kmieni, matul din is-sena is-seminarju ħa l-inizjattiva li bħala parti mill-formazzjoni tas-seminaristi jorganizza laqgħat b’orjentament pastorali. Dawn il-laqgħat għandhom l-iskop li jgħinu lis-seminaristi jsiru jafu aħjar bid-diversi grupp, għaqdiet u ħidmiet pastorali li għandna fid-Djoċesi tagħna waqt li jiffamiljarizzaw aktar ruħhom ma’ dawn l-għaqdiet u l-ħidma li qed iwettqu.

Nhar l-Erbgħa, 23 t’Ottubru kien mistieden is-Sur Alfred Grech, membru fi ħdan il-Leġjun ta’ Marija. Waqt din il-laqgħa, Alfred qasam mal-komunita’ l-istorja u l-oriġini ta’ din l-organizzazzjoni u anke l-iskop li din twaqqfet ukoll f’Għawdex. Huwa tkellem ukoll dwar l-formazzjoni li jirċievu l-membri tal-Leġjun ta’ Marija, kif ukoll dwar il-ħidma li qed twettaq din l-għaqda fid-Djoċesi ta’ Għawdex u lilhinn minnha. Ma naqasx ukoll milli jistieden lis-seminaristi biex ikunu iktar midħla tal-Leġjun u dwar l-irwol li s-Saċerdot imma wkoll is-seminarista jista’ jkollu fi ħdan din l-organizzazzjoni. Huwa stieden ukoll lis-seminaristi sabiex jekk jixtiequ, jieħdu sehem f’wieħed mill-Pellegrinazio pro Cristo li l-Leġjun ta’ Marija ser ikun qed jorganizza matul is-sajf li ġej.

L-Erbgħa, 6 ta’ Novembru kien imiss lis-Sur Antoine Vassallo, president tal-Azzjoni Kattolika f’Għawdex sabiex jaqsam mal-komunita’ tas-Seminarju l-ħidma ta’ din l-għaqda. Huwa tkellem dwar l-oriġini tal-Azzjoni Kattolika ġewwa l-Italja, u kif ittieħdet l-inizzjattiva sabiex din titwaqqaf f’Għawdex. Semma wkoll r-rabta li teżisti bejn is-Seminarju Maġġuri u l-Azzjoni Kattolika, anke għall-fatt li fil-bidu l-membri tal-Azzjoni Kattolika kienu jiltaqgħu fis-Seminarju għall-laqgħat. Huwa fisser l-Azzjoni Kattolika bħala għaqda tal-apostolat tal-lajċi li toffri tagħlim lill-membri biex, imsaħħa mit-talb jaħdmu fil-Parroċċi u fid-Djoċesi f’rabta mal-Isqof u l-Kappillani. Fost il-ħidmiet li l-membri tal-Azzjoni Kattolika jwettqu nistgħu nsemmu ħidmiet mal-anzjani, tagħlim tad-duttrina, u dan l-aħħar l-Isqof wera x-xewqa li fid-Djoċesi ta’ Għawdex l-membri jibdew jieħdu ħsieb li javviċinaw u jgħinu lill-persuni li jħossuhom fil-periferija tal-Knisja.

Imbagħad l-Erbgħa, 4 ta’ Diċembru ġew mistiedna il-koppja Joe u Ġiovanna Rapa li jiffurmaw parti mill-Komunita’ tal-Mixja Neokatekumenali. Waqt din il-laqgħa huma tkellmu dwar l-oriġini ta’ dan il-moviment li beda fis-snin sittin f’Madrid fi Spanja permezz ta’ persuna li kien fi tfittxija tal-fidi. Tkellmu ukoll fuq kif dan evolva kif ukoll dwar l-iskop tal-laqgħat li huma jagħmlu fejn joħorġu fid-dieher it-tlett pilastri li fuqhom hu mibni dan il-moviment, jiġifieri il-Kelma ta’ Alla, l-Ewkaristija u l-komunita’. Permezz tal-laqgħat l-persuna tkun tista’ tagħmel mixja ta’ fidi li għandha twassalha biex tibni relazzjoni ma’ Alla.

As announced earlier, this year the Seminary has taken the initiative to organize meetings with a pastoral orientation. These meetings form part of the seminarians’ formation and aim at helping the seminarians to get to be better acquainted with the various groups and societies in the Diocese and with the pastoral work being carried out.

On Wednesday 23^rd October, Mr Alfred Grech, member of the Legion of Mary, addressed the first meeting.  Mr Grech talked to the community about the origins and history of this organisation and about the reasons why the Legion was set up in Gozo as well.  He talked also about the formation that the members of the Legion of Mary receive and about the work which this organisation performs both in Gozo and abroad.  He emphasised the role that priests and seminarians can have in this organisation.  He invited the seminarians to get to know the Legion better and to participate, if they so wished, in one of the Pellegrinazio pro Cristo that the Legion of Mary will be organising next Summer.

On Wednesday 6^th November, it was the turn of Mr Antoine Vassallo, President of the Gozo Catholic Action Movement, to address the community of the Seminary.  He talked about the origins of this movement in Italy and about how the movement came to Gozo.  He referred to the close links that exist between the Major Seminary and the Catholic Action Movement.  In fact, the first meetings of the movement used to be held at the Seminary.  He defined the Catholic Action Movement as a movement of apostleship of the laity that teaches its members to work hand in hand with the Bishop and the parish priests in the parishes and in the Diocese.  The work carried out by the members of the movement includes support to the aged and the teaching of cathecism.  Lately, the Bishop has encouraged the members to approach and support people who feel that they are being rejected by the Church.

Then, on Wednesday, 4^th December, the community was addressed by Joe and Giovanna Rapa, members of the Komunità tal-Mixja Neokatekumenali.  They talked about the origins of their community back to in the sixties.  The community was founded in Madrid by a person who was seeking faith. They talked also about how the movement evolved and the aims behind the meetings they hold.  These meetings focus on the three pillars on which the movement is founded, mainly the Word of God, the Holy Eucharist and the community.  Through these meetings, a person can start his walk of faith that will lead him to build a relationship with God.

Nhar is-Sibt 30 ta’ Novembru filgħaxija Mons. Isqof Mario Grech, ingħaqdu mal-komunità tas-Seminarju għall-ftuħ tal-wirja Redemptione li qed tittella’ fl-okkażjoni tal-festa tal-Kunċizzjoni ċċelebrata fit-8 ta’ Diċembru.  Din ġiet organizzata mill-Kummissjoni Djoċesana tal-Arti Sagra f’kollaborazzjoni mas-Seminarju tal-Qalb ta’ Ġesù.

Fil-ftuħ tal-wirja Fr Daniel Xerri, ir-Rettur tas-Seminarju, wera l-aprezzament għax-xogħol li sar u kif għal darba oħra din il-wirja qed titella’ fis-sala tas-Seminarju. Huwa qal li f’dawn ix-xogħlijiet wieħed jista’ jimmedita fuq figura hekk importanti għalina – il-figura ta’ Marija.

Din il-wirja teħodna fuq misteru hekk kbir: it-tnissil mingħajr tebgħa ta’ Marija. Ir-rettur qal li dan ikompli jurina kemm hi importanti Marija fil-ħajaj tal-bniedem u għandha tkun il-mudell tagħna. Fl-aħħar Fr Daniel irringrazzja lil dawk li għenu bix din il-wirja setgħet tkun possibli fosthom l-Aħwa Ħbieb tas-Seminarju.

Imbagħad, Joe Camilleri għamel analiżi tal-biċċiet esibiti.  Mons. Isqof għalaq billi stqarr li l-arti tista’ tkun mezz tajjeb ħafna biex issir l-evanġelizzazzjoni waqt li rringrazzja lil kull min ħadem biex tittella din il-wirja.

Il-Wirja Mater Immacolta tibqa’ miftuħa sal-Ħadd 8 ta’ Diċembru, festa tal-Kunċizzjoni.

On Saturday evening, 30th November, Bishop Mario Grech joined the community of the Seminary in the inauguration of the exhibition Mater Immacolata  which is being held  on   the occasion of the feast of the Immaculate Conception, celebrated on the 8th December.  The exhibition is being held by the Diocesan Commission of Sacred Art, in collaboration with the Sacred Heart Seminary.

In his opening speech, Fr Daniel Xerri, Rector of the Seminary, showed his appreciation for the preparatory work that had been done and for the fact that, for the umpteenth time, this exhibition is being held at the Seminary.  He said that, through these works of art, one can meditate a figure that is so important to us – the figure of the Holy Mother.

This exhibition takes us back to a great mystery: the Immaculate Conception of Mary.  This mystery reinforces the importance of Mary in the life of man and Mary should be a model to all of us.  Fr Daniel thanked the organizers and helpers, among whom the Aħwa Ħbieb tas-Seminarju, who made this exhibition possible.

Then, Mr Joe Camilleri gave a critical analysis of the exhibited works.  Bishop Grech concluded the evening by a short address in which he said that art can be a good means of evangelisation.  He too, thanked all those who had helped in this exhibition.

The exhibition Mater Immacolata will be open up to Sunday, 8th December, feast of the Holy Conception.
