Aktar minn 100 sena ilu, żewġ Ġiżwiti Maltin tal-Provinċja Siċiljana tal-Kumpanija ta’ Ġesù marru lejn l-Indja biex iwasslu l-missjoni tagħhom bħala reliġjużi f’din l-art.

Fr Peter Ellul qal li għalkemm it-temp ma għenx għax kienet qed traxxax ix-xita hu apprezza l-ħeġġa tal-persuni kollha, reliġjużi u anke lajċi li għamlu l-ħin biex ilbieraħ filgħaxija inġabru fi Pjazza San Pietru jitolbu għall-bżonnijiet tal-Papa Franġsiku.

“Mument sabiħ ta’ talb, kardinali, isqfijiet imma wkoll Insara li nġbarna flimkien bħal ma għamlu d-dixxipli meta naqraw fl-Atti tal-Appostli li nġabru biex jitolbu għal San Pietru” stqarr Fr Peter… Read more »
