Instructions

Remember when you enjoyed a bicycle ride and how the spokes of the wheel moved together. The axle makes this motion possible, holding everything in place and allowing the wheel to turn smoothly. Between the 18th and the 25th of January, Christians from different denominations pray for unity between them. Just as the axle unites the spokes, Christ unites Christians, guiding them toward unity.

  •  Ride your bicycle or observe the wheel as it turns while reflecting on what you’ve read about.
  • On plain paper, draw a wheel (a large circle with a smaller circle inside and lines connecting both circles)
  • On the axle, write ‘Jesus’; between the spokes, write about what brings unity, love and kindness.
  • Ride your bike again or observe the wheel turning. Thank God for helping you and others bring unity between people and move forward.

NIMXU L QUDDIEM

Aħseb f’dawk id-drabi meta ħadt gost issuq ir-rota u kif l-imgħażel (spokes) ta’ kull rota jduru flimkien. X’inhu dak li jgħaqqad dawn l-imgħażel flimkien? Huwa ċirku ċkejken li nsejħulu “fus.” Kull sena, madwar id-dinja kollha, bejn it-18 u l-25 ta’ Jannar, l-Insara kollha jingħaqdu flimkien biex jitolbu għall-għaqda bejniethom. Ġesù huwa dak li jgħaqqadna flimkien bħalma l-fus tar-rota jgħaqqad l-imgħażel flimkien.

  • Ħares ftit lejn ir-rota ddur, jew suq ftit ir-rota filwaqt li taħseb fuq li qrajt.
  • Fuq karta ġdida pinġi rota (ċirku daqsxejn kbir, ċirku ieħor żgħir f’nofsu u linji jagħqdu ż-żewġt iċrieki)
  • Fuq il-fus ikteb ‘Ġesù’ u bejn l-imgħażel ikteb fuq dak li jġib l-għaqda, l-imħabba u ġentilezza.
  • Erġa’ suq ir-rota jew araha ddur. Irringrazzja ‘l Alla li jgħina nġibu l-għaqda bejnietna u qalb in-nies biex jimxu ‘l quddiem.
