Patri Juan Debono ikompli fil-missjoni tiegħu li jxerred il-messaġġ evanġeliku ta’ Santa Eliżabetta tat-Trinita, soru Tereżjana li saħħret il-qlub ta’ tant nies. Wara li ppublika t-teżi dottorali tiegħu għand l-edizzjoni tal-Vatikan, issa ħareġ it-tieni edizzjoni bit-Taljan, taħt it-titlu ta’ Il PERCHE’ DELLA SOFFERENZA.
Huwa ktieb imprezzabli għaliex fih juri kif din il-qaddisa...
28 novembre 2018 Si compiono oggi 450 anni dall’inizio della prima comunità di carmelitani scalzi a Duruelo. La fondazione, come sappiamo, durò assai poco e può essere considerata un primo tentativo di impostare una vita carmelitano-teresiana al maschile, ancora bisognoso di molte correzioni e aggiustamenti. In questo senso, non si possono mettere sullo stesso piano la fondazione del monastero...
San Ġwann tas-Salib għex fi żminijiet imqallba u diffiċli fl-istorja tal-Knisja. Kultant aħna nħarsu lejn dak li qed jiġri fi żmienna u nimmaġinaw li hu l-iktar żmien iebes u mħawwad, imma naħseb min għandu sens ta’ storja mhux bilfors jasal għall-istess konklużjoni.
San Ġwann tas-Salib kien poeta, artista, teologu, direttur spiritwali, u ta kontribut speċjali f’dawn iż-żminijiet...
On Nov. 28, 1568, St. Teresa of Ávila and St. John of the Cross founded the first monastery of Discalced Carmelite Friars. That makes this year the 450th anniversary of the "official" founding of the friars. St. Teresa chose the friars to live the contemplative life of the Carmelite reform.
readers may already be acquainted with Manuel Farrugia. Farrugia, who hails from Malta, is just 29 years old but despite his young age he has already put together an impressive portfolio of sacred works. One of his major works was featured in The Catholic Herald this past summer to rave reviews, and now yet another impressive work has just been unveiled: his painting of St. Teresa in ecstasy. This...

“O Tlieta tiegħi, il-Kollox tiegħi, l-Hena tiegħi, Solitudni infinita, Immensita’ li fiha jien nintilef: jien bħal priża nintelaq fikom” (Talba Trinitarja S. Eliżabetta). Din kienet il-konklużjoni li wasslet għliha l-Qaddisa Franċiza Elisabetta tat-Trinita’. Effettivament QATT u fl-EBDA ĊIRĊOSTANZA, ma wieħed jista’ jimxi ‘l quddiem fil-ħajja...

They have a very strong numerical presence in Spain and they run most of the places related to our founders.
After a one week course of permanent formation in Madrid given...

A sermon was preached there, and from that church the Blessed Sacrament was brought to our monastery. This inspired great devotion in everybody.”
In this manner, in chapter 9, paragraph...
