Resilient Children (Ages 0-6 years), we are pleased to announce the follow-up

parenting. The course is academic, researched and very practical, allowing time
for discussion during the sessions.

SPECIAL PAST FEATURES
ARCHPRIEST's MESSAGE (Is-Sibt 24 ta’ Awwissu 2013 )
Traġedji, Kumdita’, Għeluq
Għeżież,
1. IL-FATT LI AĦNA POPLU ŻGĦIR U NGĦIXU FUQ GŻIRA ŻGĦIRA, aħna meħlusa minn traġedji ta’ proporzjonijiet kbar bħal ma nisimgħu jiġru kważi kuljum f’diversi pajjiżi. Biex insemmi xi wħud: il-vjolenza li qed taħkem l-Eġittu u s-Sirja; l-inċidenti gravi tat-tren f’Santiago de Compostella u tal-coach fin-naħa t’isfel tal-Italja; l-għarqa ta’ vaporetto bil-passiġġieri fil-Filippini u l-isplużjoni ta’ submarine Indjan; it-terremoti fiċ-Ċina u nħawi oħra; it-trombi tal-arja fl-Amerika ta’ Fuq u l-maltemp qawwi f’diversi nħawi tad-dinja... Il-lista hi twila u ma tispiċċa qatt. Ilkoll kemm aħna “nirringrazzjaw ‘l Alla” għax traġedji bħal dawn lilna rari jmissuna. Tajjeb iżda li ninteressaw ruħna f’dak li jkun qed jiġri fid-dinja għax dawk li qed jiġu effettwati huma bnedmin bħalna. U t-tbatija ta’ kull bniedem għandha dejjem tinteressana.
2. MIN-NAĦA L-OĦRA, FUQ IX-XTUT TAL-MEDITERRAN QED ISSEĦĦ TRAĠEDJA OĦRA – dik tal-immigranti. Kull meta nara l-filmati ta’ dgħajjes b’immigranti, uħud minnhom nofshom mejta, deħlin f’pajjiżna, aktar milli naħseb fil-problema li dawn se jikkawzawlna, nipprova naħseb fuq il-problema li jkunu għadhom kemm għaddew minnha huma. Aħna, minn djarna, ma nistgħux nimmaġinaw eżatt dawn in-nies minn xhiex ikunu għaddew biex waslu fostna. Il-vjaġġi twal biex ħallew pajjiżhom, daħlu l-Libja, qasmu l-Mediterran huma u jaraw uħud minn sħabhom imutu mgħarrqin quddiem għajnejhom, is-sħana u n-nixfa li jġarrbu bejn sema u ilma... .......ikompli aghfas hawn

NGOs, Xbiek, Salib it-toroq
Għeżież,
KIF TAFU, IŻ-ŻJARA TAL-PAPA FRANĠISKU fil-Brażil ġiet u marret. Nistgħu ngħidu bla tlaqliq li kienet suċċess u żgur li ħalliet impatt kemm fuq dawk li kienu preżenti kif ukoll fuqna li segwejniha permezz tal-media. Din kienet l-ewwel żjara tiegħu barra mill-Vatikan u allura kien hemm ċerta aspettattiva. Il-ġesti tiegħu, uħud minnhom innovattivi, ġibduna lkoll. Tajjeb iżda li ma nibqgħux fuq il-ġesti iżda nixtarru wkoll id-diskorsi tiegħu li meta wieħed jirrifletti fuqhom jinduna kemm huma prattiċi u kemm jistgħu jgħinuna fil-ħajja tagħna umana u Nisranija. Illum se nieħu xi siltiet mill-ħafna diskorsi li għamel fil-Brażil fl-okkażjoni tat-28 Jum Dinji taż-Żgħażagħ għar-riflessjoni tagħna:
1. FL-ISPTAR SAN FRANĠISK D’ASSISI GĦAD-DIPENDENTI MID-DROGA U L-ALKOĦOL:
“It-tnaqqis fit-tixrid u l-influwenza tad-droga ma nilħquhx billi nilliberalizzaw id-droga kif qed jiġi propost f’diversi partijiet tal-Amerika Latina. Huwa aktar neċessarju ikompli aghfas hawn

Imigrazzjoni: Għaliex ħutna ż-żgħar ibeżżgħuna?
Dan l-aħħar qamet diskussjoni kbira dwar il-limiti għall-ospitalità li nistgħu noffru aħna l-Maltin għall-vittmi tal-immigrazzjoni forzata. Hemm limiti ovvji - il-fatt li aħna gżira, popolazzjoni żgħira, u fl-istess ħin fuq art żgħira. Malta għandha l-iżjed densità qawwija ta’ popolazzjoni fl-Ewropa.

WEDDING SEASON… THE RIGHT TIME TO MARRY? - PREPARING FOR MARRIAGE
As the fragility of marriages increases, the lavishness of weddings increases too. Is it a question of investing in form at the expense of substance?
People may and do disagree about what marriage is. But all newly-weds seem to agree that weddings are becoming a costly nightmare. I often wonder if investing more in marriage than in weddings would result in longer-lasting and happier families. Who knows? continue click here...- PREPARING FOR MARRIAGE - CLICK HERE
