Waqt il-programm The Handbook fuq RTK103, Matthew Gauci qal li xi kultant ikollna idea żbaljata dwar il-fidi u naħsbu li hija biss xi ħaġa tal-iffissati, tal-qassisin jew tal-qaddisin.

“The roof of the Catholic Institute is offering a breath of fresh air through art” – Annalisa Schembri

29/07/2025

Background photo: Miguela Xuereb

Id-Direttur Artistiku tar-Roof Top Series Annalisa Schembri stqarret li l-bejt tal-Istitut Kattoliku bil-veduti li għandu u permezz tal-arti, qed joffri nifs biex wieħed jieqaf ftit u japprezza dak li qed jiġi ppreżentat. Min jattendi qed jingħata ċ-ċans li jkun viċin ħafna tal-artisti f’palk pjuttost intimu, għaliex ix-xewqa ta’ Schembri hi li “l-udjenza tħoss aktar milli tara” u hekk jkunu mqanqlin biex huma wkoll joħolqu jew iwettqu x-xewqa artistika li dejjem ħolmu li jagħmlu… Read more »

A Mass praesente cadavere with suffrage for Mr Anthony Spiteri Debono

29/07/2025   The Collegiate Parish Church of St Paul's Shipwreck, Valletta

Ritratt: Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta – Ian Noel Pace L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-vers li l-kor kanta b’mod tant sabiħ qabel l-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna huwa vers tassew kommoventi li jiġbor l-esperjenza tal-mewt għal min jemmen.

Tenuisti manum dexteram mea (qbadtli idi u mexxejtni minn idejja)
Et in voluntate tua deduxisti me (ħadtni skont ir-rieda tiegħek)
Cum gloria assusisti me (dawwartni bil-ġieħ u l-glorja)

Din it-tama tagħna, aħna l-Insara meta quddiem il-fdalijiet ta’ Anthony illum, qegħdin nagħmlu talba lil Alla, għajn ta’ kull ħniena biex lil Anthony, li għaddieh minn din l-esperjenza, isir għalih faraġ, hena u sliem… Read more »
