Il‑kappillani tal‑parroċċi f’Malta ltaqgħu għal‑live‑in annwali, bit‑tema li kienet ‘Missjunarji tat-Tama’, fid-dawl tal-Ġublew tat-Tama li l-Knisja Kattolika madwar id-dinja kollha qed tiċċelebra din is-sena. Huma kellhom il-ħin jirriflettu fuq xi tfisser tkun missjunarju llum u kif permezz tal-ezempju tagħhom, ikunu mezz ta’ tama lill-oħrajn.
Il-live-in ta’ din is-sena sar f’format differenti sabiex il-kappillani jkunu f’ambjent iktar rilassat u ta’ fraternità u jgħinhom jirriflettu aktar fuq dak li semgħu u ddiskutew… Read more »

Hawnhekk, fiċ-Ċentru tal-Onkoloġija, il-Mulej jagħtini l-grazzja li napprezza bil-bosta x-xogħol tant dedikat tat-team mediku kollu. Kemm napprezza bil-kbir il-kura li jagħtuna bħala pazjenti kemm għax hi tal-ogħla kwalità u anki wkoll l-għaliex l-mod kif tingħata hu tassew għaref u li jolqot mill-qiegħ nett il-bżonnijiet ta’ kull persuna.
Filwaqt li nuri l-apprezzament tiegħi lejn kulħadd, ħaddiema Maltin u mhux Maltin, nixtieq ninkoraġġiehom ilkoll ħa jibqgħu dejjem jitgħallmu mhux biss mill-kotba imma, u fuq kollox, mill-minjiera bla tarf tal-esperjenza… Read more »
