One thousand, nine hundred and fifty years ago, St Paul, the Apostle, was delivered from the shipwreck through the mighty power of God the Father, our Lord and Master, to undertake the mission of spreading the Word to the people of our islands. Imbued with the power of the Spirit and encouraged by the hope which God Himself instilled in Paul’s heart through His Angel, and as ordained by His Divine Plan, Paul brought to our ancestors, and to us, their descendants, the Good News of the Kingdom of God – a Kingdom as envisaged by Jesus Christ, Son of God made man, who through his birth, life, death and resurrection brought man to eternal life… Read more »

World Youth Day 2011
The Italian official site of WYD 2011 in Madrid (16-21 August) is www.gmg2011.it. It is operating from today, 8 February, 12 o’clock. Promoted by the National Service for the Youth Pastoral of CEI, it is meant to be a milestone for all the news on the 26th World Youth Day.

Fis-sena li l-Papa Bendittu XVI ddedika lis-saċerdoti, id-Dar tal-Providenza qed tfakkar il-mitt sena mit-twelid ta’ Dun Mikiel Azzopardi, il-fundatur tad-Dar. It-tema li ntagħżlet biex tfakkar dan l-anniversarju: ‘Dun Mikiel, il-ħabib ta’ kulħadd’ tgħid fi ftit kliem min kien dan il-qassis u kif għandu jkun kull saċerdot.

Illum id-dinja tiċċelebra Jum il-Ħajja. Huwa l-Jum li fih nifirħu bil-Ħajja fiha nfisha. Min jemmen jirringjrazzja wkoll għax jara fil-Ħajja, don ta’ Alla, u għalhekk jagħraf valur iktar profond, għaliex magħqud ma’ Alla u ġej minn Alla. Huwa ċar li dan ifisser, li l-ebda bniedem u b’mod speċjali ml-ebda nisrani li jemmen, ma jista’ jkun favur xi ħaġa li tillimita jew toqtol dan id-don.
Naħseb li dan il-Jum irid jagħti ċ-ċans lil kull persuna, biex tagħraf x’inhi r-relazzjoni u l-valur li hu jagħti lill-Ħajja tiegħu u tal-oħrajn… Read more »
