  • Relative Hopes People Will Remember Blessed Preca's Life, Virtues
    Relative hopes people will remember Blessed Preca’s life, virtues OTTAWA – Tony Vella, the great-nephew of Father George Preca, said he hopes the charismatic Maltese priest’s life and virtues will be remembered long after his June 3 canonization. Vella called his mother’s uncle, whom he knows as “Dun Gorg,” a “pioneer of the lay apostolate.” Vella, 64, of Kingston, Ontario, served Blessed Preca as an altar boy in his native town of Hamrun, Malta, and “used to see him pretty well every day,” Vella said in a May telephone interview from Kingston. When Blessed Preca began his ministry, Malta, an island nation off the coast of Italy, was largely illiterate. Although Malta is Catholic, the faith there was mingled with superstition. As a deacon, Blessed Preca started “religious discussions” with sailors in the Grand Harbor area and began building relationships with local youths. Shortly after his 1906 ordination, Blessed Preca had what Vella described as a “very charismatic experience” that led him to spend three months alone, praying and meditating in a loft and pondering the Bible, especially the New Testament. A year later, he founded the Society of Christian Doctrine, setting up catechism centers that at first met with a “mixed response” from church authorities. After 20 years of struggle, Blessed Preca’s efforts to form faithful Christians met with the approval of the local archbishop. Vella said Blessed Preca resisted the idea that he had founded the society, preferring to say St. Paul inspired him when he told St. Timothy to hand on to reliable people what St.

  • On This Rock: the Faith of Malta
    On this rock: The faith of Malta On a rock in the middle of the Mediterranean, a young boy proclaims, “I love to learn about Jesus!” Where did such faith come from? Down through the centuries, it came directly from St. Paul the Apostle. The island of Malta rises out of the sea in a position virtually equidistant from mainland Europe to the north, the upper regions of Africa to the south and halfway between the shores of the westernmost ports of the Middle East and the gateway to the Atlantic. It is a small, rocky place hidden in the middle of everything. St. Paul found it by accident, quite literally, when the ship on which he was being taken to Nero’s Rome for the trial that would lead to his martyrdom smashed into one of the outlying rocks just off the coast of Malta, hurling everyone into the sea (cf. Acts 27-28). Paul made it ashore, as did St. Luke and all the others. It wouldn’t be a stretch to call that a miracle, but what happened next eclipses even the unlikeliness of that rescue. For the next three months, Paul healed the sick, instructed the ignorant and proclaimed the Gospel on the island made of rock. By the time he left, the seed of the Christian faith had taken root. Twenty centuries later, this young boy is surrounded by his peers as, together, they are formed in the Catholic faith. St. Paul is long gone, but the gift he gave to the island of Malta has been passed down from generation to generation.

    The Holy See EUCHARISTIC CONCELEBRATION FOR THE CANONIZATION OF FOUR BLESSEDS: GEORGE PRECA, SIMON OF LIPNICA, CHARLES OF ST. ANDREW HOUBEN, MARIE EUGENIE OF JESUS MILLERET HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI St Peter's Square Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday, 3 June 2007 Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today, we are celebrating the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. After the Easter Season, after reliving the event of Pentecost which renews the Baptism of the Church in the Holy Spirit, we turn our gaze, so to speak, towards "the open Heavens", to enter with the eyes of faith into the depths of the mystery of God, one in substance and three in Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. While we allow this supreme mystery to envelop us, let us admire God's glory which is reflected in the lives of the saints. Let us contemplate it above all in those whom I have just presented for the veneration of the universal Church: George Preca, Simon of Lipnica, Charles of St Andrew Houben and Marie Eugenie of Jesus Milleret. I address my cordial greeting to all the pilgrims gathered here to pay homage to these exemplary Gospel witnesses. In particular, I greet the Cardinals, the Presidents of the Philippines, of Ireland, of Malta and of 2 Poland, my venerable Brothers in the Episcopate, the Government Delegations and other Civil Authorities who are taking part in this celebration. In the First Reading from the Book of Proverbs, Wisdom comes on the scene and stands beside God as his assistant, his "architect" (cf.

  • Surgeon Tells of Crucial Miracle for Malta's First Saint
    Surgeon tells of crucial miracle for Malta’s first saint LONDON – A surgeon who testified about the miraculous healing of a baby at a British hospital said he remains mystified by the child’s recovery, the miracle that cleared the way for the canonization of Malta’s first saint. Dr. Anil Dhawan, professor of pediatric hepatology at King’s College Hospital, London, told Catholic News Service May 22 there was “no scientific explanation” for the full recovery of the Maltese boy who had undergone “devastating” liver failure. The Catholic Church has concluded that the baby was cured through the intercession of Father George Preca, a 20th-century priest who will be canonized by Pope Benedict XVI June 3. Dhawan, 45, gave evidence to a church tribunal set up in Malta to decide if the healing was a sign from God that Blessed Preca is a saint. “The child was diagnosed with fulminant liver failure,” he said. “There was a 90 percent-plus chance that he wasn’t going to survive without a liver transplant. But he survived. Furthermore, he improved on his own. “Acute liver failure in children is quite a devastating illness,” he said. “The majority of them die. Scientifically, I do not have an explanation for this child’s recovery.” The child, who has not been named publicly at the request of his parents, developed severe liver complications just days after his birth in July 2001. He was examined at St. Luke’s Hospital in Malta, but his condition was so grave that he was transferred to King’s College Hospital, home to the world’s largest pediatric liver center.

  • St George Preca Considered Christ Crucified, “The Great Book” and Often Spoke About God’S Mercy and Justice
    Lives of Saints 1880 - 1962 Feastday: 9th May I was born in Malta in 1880. Feeling that I was called to be a priest, I went to the Seminary. As a seminarian, I used to go to the Grand Harbour, meet and chat with the sailors, gradually moving on to discussions on spiritual matters. There were serious doubts whether I would live to celebrate my first Mass in 1906 because of my ill-health, but I survived. Around this time, I also struck up a steady friendship with a group of youngsters who were in the habit of meeting regularly. Soon this group of youths grew so that premises had to be rented out where their meetings could be held. I slowly started wielding these men. I wanted them to be indistinguishable from common people in dress, but to be so well instructed and formed in their spiritual life that they would stand out, by their example, in their everyday life, whether at home or at work. At a time when the laity had not yet been officially recognized as important in the mission of spreading the Gospel, I also entrusted them with the responsibility of teaching catechism. This little group of men and, later women too, grew up to be the Society of Christian Doctrine, SDC, (known in Malta as M.U.S.E.U.M.). When word came to the then Vicar General that a group of “Thank you youths were meeting regularly to talk about God and to read the Bible, suspicions arose. The climax came when I was ordered Lord God, and to close down all the catechetical centres I had opened.

  • Gorg Preca - Apostle of the Word of God and a Precursor of Vatican Council II
    Gorg Preca - Apostle of the Word of God and a Precursor of Vatican Council II earl-Mafio Sultana St. Gorg Preca I (1880-1962) was a Maltese diocesan priest who lived his priestly vocation in total dedication to the ministry of evangelisation, giving a unique preference to the Word of God in a special way in his writings. In 1907, he founded the Society of Christian Doctrine, made up of male and female lay people, who live a celibate life in order to dedicate themselves totally to catechesis. Not only is St. Gorg Preca the founder of the Society of Christian Doctrine, but he also nourished and sustained its members through his writings, which were primarily aimed at instructing them, so that they would be able to instruct others.2 Gorg Preca lived during a period which is dominated by the transition from the modern to the contemporary period. During this era, the teaching of the catechism, as it was then known, was undergoing very rapid, and at the same time radical changes. With respect to catechesis, the modern era can be described as a return to the sources of catechesis, and to the Word of God as the source of all the proclamation of the Church. The modern era had been marked by the Protestant reformation and the Counter-Reformation where we witness to a severe clash 1. Gorg is the Maltese translation of the name George. 2.
