Instructions
Protective Shield
In 1530, the Knights of the Order of St John came to Malta and protected our islands and did what was right. Today, we can be like knights too – standing up for others and protecting what is good. 💛
- Wear the shield and think of something you want to protect like friendship, peace, kindness, nature, your family, your mind, heart and soul.
- Draw or write a prayer to God to help you protect what is good.
Tarka Li Tipproteġi
Fl-1530, il-Kavallieri tal-Ordni ta’ San Ġwann ġew Malta u pproteġew il-ġżejjer Maltin b’mod tajjeb u ġust. Illum, aħna wkoll nistgħu nkunu bħall-kavallieri billi nipproteġu lin-nies u dak li hu tajjeb. 💛
- Ilbes it-tarka u aħseb f’xi ħaġa li tixtieq tipproteġi pereżempju;
il-ħbiberija, il-paċi, il-ġentilezza, in-natura, il-familja tiegħek, moħħok, qalbek u ruħek.
- Pinġi jew ikteb talba lil Alla biex jgħinek tipproteġi dak li hu tajjeb.
