Fil-jiem li għaddew fil-Kappella tad-Dar tal-Kleru tqiegħed salib li jirraffigura lil Kristu Saċerdot imsallab imma f’pożizzjoni ta’ qawmien. Dan tpitter minn Dun Peter Paul Sultana li hu l-amministratur parrokkjali tal-parroċċa tal-Manikata. Il-pittura saret fuq l-injam wara li nħadmet bil-ġibs. Is-salib tbierek mill-Arċisqof Emeritus Pawlu Cremona.

Għalhekk f’din il-pittura naraw lil Kristu f’direzzjoni ta’ qawmien, anke l-idejn ta’ Kristu jidhru li mhumiex fin-nofs tal-ispazju tal-injama orizzontali tas-salib, iżda qegħdin iktar ’il fuq sabiex jesprimi moviment ’il fuq, li jissimbolizza l-qawmien… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Fit-tifkira llum tal-Madonna tar-Rużarju, tajjeb li aħna nġeddu l-fiduċja tagħna f’din l-omm li takkumpanjana fil-ħajja tagħna. Ġesù minn fuq is-salib tahielna bħala omm, biex hi tieħu ħsiebna, tħarisna, biex tipproteġina u takkumpanjana bl-imħabba.
Filwaqt li aħna nħarsu lejn Marija dejjem bħala dik l-omm li miexja magħna f’ħajjitna, hi wkoll omm li tgħallimna, u tgħallimna ħafna affarijiet importanti għall-ħajja tagħna… Read more »

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
Let us continue to explore the theme of discernment. Last time we considered prayer, understood as familiarity and confidence with God, as its indispensable element. Prayer, not like parrots. No: prayer as familiarity and confidence with God; prayer of the sons of the Father; prayer with an open heart. We saw this in the last Catechesis… Read more »
