  • Curia Arcivescovile, Floriana
    19 giugno 2019

  • Il-Kappella tal-Madonna tal-Abbandunati, il-Wardija
    15 ta’ Ġunju 2019

    Il-festa għażiża tal-Madonna tal-Abbandunati, meqjuma f’din il-knisja tal-Wardija, titfa’ ħarsitna qabel xejn fuq Marija. Hi tassew sabiħa din l-istatwa titulari ta’ Wistin Camilleri li saret madwar l-1919, mitt sena ilu.

    Kien f’kuntest tal-akbar abbandun, meta kien fuq is-salib, li Ġesù tana lil Marija bħala Omm…

    Aktarx li xi darba jew oħra rajna stampa jew pittura tal-festa tal-lum. Kemm-il darba, f’din il-festa tat-Tlugħ fis-sema tal-Mulej, Ġesù jidher maqtugħ mill-art u l-appostli jħarsu lejh iċċassati.

    Kellhom għalfejn jiċċassaw f’din il-ġrajja straordinarja meta raw lil Ġesù jberikhom u fl-istess waqt iħallihom biex jitla’ s-sema…

  • Knisja Parrokkjali tat-Trinità, il-Marsa
    27 ta’ Mejju 2019

    Franġisku hu isem li jfakkarna f’qaddisin speċjali fil-Knisja u fil-Papa preżenti.  Franġisku kien l-isem ta’ Padre Pio qabel daħal il-kunvent ta’ sittax-il sena biex jissieħeb mal-Patrijiet Kapuċċini.

    Aħna u niċċelebraw illum l-anniversarju (il-132 sena) tat-twelid tiegħu, tajjeb inħarsu lejn dan il-bniedem importanti fl-istorja reliġjuża Taljana imma wkoll dinjija…

    19 ta’ Mejju 2019

    Kif tidħol f’din il-knisja parrokkjali ta’ Ta’ Xbiex, ħaġa li tolqtok hi dik il-kitba kbira li hemm mal-ħajt tal-artal li tgħid: “Fejn ma ssibx l-imħabba, qiegħed l-imħabba u tieħu l-imħabba.” Dan hu l-kliem ta’ San Ġwann tas-Salib, il-patrun ta’ din il-parroċċa…
