Prayer Diary 2020 The Mission to Seafarers Prayer Diary 2020 “I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Matthew 25: 31-46 Prayers A Prayer for Seafarers O Eternal Lord God, who alone spreads out the heavens and rules the raging of the seas, receive into your protection all those who go down to the sea in ships and occupy their business on the great waters of the world. Preserve them both in body and soul, prosper their labours with good success, in all times of danger, be their defence, and bring them to the haven where they would be. We ask this in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. A Prayer for the Families of Seafarers We pray for the families of seafarers, often separated for long periods from their fathers, husbands, mothers and wives. Protect those families and help them stay close together until they are reunited. Bless the children of seafarers at school and at college and help them in their learning. We pray all this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. A Prayer for the Mission to Seafarers Lord God, be the canoe that holds us in the sea of life. Be the rudder that keeps us on the straight course. Be the outrigger that supports us in times of great testing. May your spirit fill our sails to carry us through the day, and keep our bodies strong so that we may paddle steadfastly on the voyage of life. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).

  • Ecumenism in the Archdiocese of Malta During the Episcopate of Archbishop Joseph Mercieca (1976–2007)
    ROCZNIKI TEOLOGICZNE Tom LXIII, zeszyt 7 – 2016 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18290/rt.2016.63.7-19 * REV. HECTOR SCERRI ECUMENISM IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF MALTA DURING THE EPISCOPATE OF ARCHBISHOP JOSEPH MERCIECA (1976–2007) A b s t r a c t. The long episcopate of Mgr Joseph Mercieca, Archbishop of Malta from 1976 to 2007, is characterized by the fruitful application and implementation of the Second Vatican Council in this European nation, at the southernmost tip of the European Union of which it has been a member since 2004. This research article studies the gradual development of the Ecu- menical Movement in this predominantly Catholic nation from the years immediately following the Council, right through the many initiatives during the period of Mercieca’s leadership of the Church in Malta, particularly the establishment of a Diocesan Ecumenical Commission on a sure footing, the collaboration with other Churches and ecclesial communities, the two pastoral visits of Pope John Paul II and the celebration of a Diocesan Pastoral Synod in the concluding years of his episcopate. This article serves as a case study on the genesis and the subsequent develop- ment of ecumenical relations in a local Church, the ecumenical initiatives taken over the years, and the way forward in this important pastoral dimension of an extrovert Church. Key words: ecumenism; Malta; Archbishop Joseph Mercieca; diocesan ecumenical commission; ecumenical relations. SETTING THE CONTEXT The long and fruitful episcopate of Mgr Joseph Mercieca,1 Metropolitan Archbishop of Malta from 1976 to 2007, is marked by many practical appli- Rev.

  • MDINA La Citta' Notabile the Noble City
    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 197 December 2017 MDINA La Citta’ Notabile The Noble City MDINA THE OLD AND SILENT CITY OF MALTA www.ozmalta.com 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 197 December 2017 MDINA – OLD CAPITAL CITY OF MALTA CITTA’ NOTABILE The history of Mdina traces back more than 4000 years. According to tradition it was here that in 60 A.D. that the Apostle St. Paul is said to have lived after being shipwrecked on the Islands. Furthermore it is said that St. Paul resided inside the grotto know as Fuori le Mura (outside the city walls) now known as St. Paul's Grotto in Rabat. Lamp lit by night and referred to as "the silent city", Mdina is fascinating to visit for its timeless atmosphere as well as its cultural and religious treasures. Mdina has had different names and titles depending on its rulers and its role but its medieval name describe it best - ‘Citta' Notabile': the noble city. It was home then, as now, to Malta's noble families; some are descendants of the Norman, Sicilian and Spanish overlords who made Mdina their home from the 12th century onwards. Impressive palaces line its narrow, shady streets. Mdina is one of Europe's finest examples of an ancient walled city and extraordinary in its mix of medieval and baroque architecture. Like nearby Mdina, Rabat played a major role in Malta's past and is a prime source of its cultural heritage. This large provincial township was part of the Roman city of Melita, with the sites and archaeological relics found testifying to the town's importance during the Roman period.

As we take note of this T anniversary of King Charles's baptism, we do well to remind ourselves that our own baptisms, just as his was, are baptisms into the death of Christ, through which we rise to new life. Some of us may find that we are more fully to embrace the death of Christ than we may have imagined at our baptisms, not least if we were baptised as infants, but we all share with King Charles his resurrection faith in an "incorruptible crown." We’re pleased to report that most members have already paid their dues. We’re particularly thankful for six new Life Memberships, a record membership count of 450, and many purchases of devotional goods. Our XXXVII Annual Mass is now only six weeks away – see details on p 6. Please remember that there is a 15 January deadline if you are making an Annual Mass donation and want to be listed in the printed program, and an 18 January deadline to sign up for the luncheon at the Mass.
