Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

Between 18th and 25th January of every year, Christian Churches and denominations join together in prayer in the process of reuniting as one Church. These dates were proposed in 1908 by Paul Wattson to cover the days between the feasts of St Peter and St Paul. In our schools, there are many students and educators who belong to different Christian Churches and denominations and therefore this week is an important opportunity to know more about each other and to grow in unity… Read more »

On fire!

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

Bless the Lord my soul

1. Let us open our hearts to receive God’s Word
A feeling of expectancy had grown among the people, who were beginning to think that John might be the Christ, so John declared before them all: “I baptise you with water, but someone is coming, someone who is more powerful than I am, and I am not fit to undo the strap of his sandals; he will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Now when all the people had been baptised and while Jesus after his own baptism was at prayer, heaven opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily shape, like a dove… Read more »

Lent and Easter in style

Lent is a 40 day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. It’s a period of preparation to celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection at Easter. During Lent, we seek the Lord in prayer by reading Sacred Scripture; we serve by giving alms, and we practice self-control through fasting. We are called not only to abstain from luxuries during Lent but to a true inner conversion of heart as we seek to follow Christ’s will more faithfully… Read more »

1. Let us open our hearts to God’s Word

Isma’ l-poeżija, moqrija mis-Sa Silvana Cardona

B’ommi fil-ġenna u missieri qisu msiefer

Dan il-Milied qed inħossu kiefer

Għala mà, ħallejtni?

Għala pà, insejtni?

Man-nanna tħallini jum wara jum

Magħha niekol, norqod u nqum

Advent & Christmas in Style

During the Advent season, we prepare ourselves to celebrate the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We celebrate Jesus’ first coming when he was born in a poor manger in Bethlehem and we reflect in anticipation of the second coming at the end of time.

Kbir hu f’nofsok il-qaddis ta’ Israel. (Iżaija 12)

1. Niftħu qalbna għall-Kelma t’Alla
F’dak iż-żmien, in-nies kienu jistaqsu lil Ġwanni u jgħidulu: “Mela x’għandna nagħmlu?”. U huwa kien iweġibhom: “Min għandu żewġ ilbiesi, jaqsam ma’ min ma għandu xejn, u min għandu x’jiekol jagħmel l-istess”. Resqu wkoll xi pubblikani biex jitgħammdu u qalulu: “Mgħallem, x’għandna nagħmlu aħna?”…
