Iklin Parish - Living Beyond Sunday

Fiona Borg Catania

+8

Our relationship with God is not supposed to stay within the walls of our parish church when we leave after Sunday Mass. Instead, ‘the mass is ended go in the peace’ is an exhortation so that what we received during mass transform our hearts, our families, our homes, and our schools into a welcoming place to encounter Christ until we gather again the following Sunday to be strengthened and sent forth once again. In this course, Living Beyond Sunday, we explore how the liturgy, as the source and summit of Christian life, can inspire and shape our daily living. The course invites adults to discover how the rhythm of the liturgical year offers a spiritual framework that can be lived out beyond the church walls. Through practical suggestions and reflective insights, participants will learn how to engage with the seasons of the Church and bring the richness of Sunday into everyday life—making faith more tangible, meaningful, and transformative throughout the week.

Ignatian Rules of Spiritual Discernment

Fiona Borg Catania

+7

“Discernment” has become a buzzword in contemporary Church circles, thanks to late Pope Francis’ frequent invitations to undertaking discerning processes. The influence of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola (founder of the Jesuit order) is clear: indeed, some of the more famous and more frequently quoted parts of this classic Christian work are in fact the “Rules for Discernment of Spirits”. Centuries of Church experience have proven these rules to be a solid foundation for proceeding in a journey of discernment with greater security and depth. By attending this course, students will become familiar with the Rules for Discernment of Spirits outlined by St. Ignatius in his Exercises: their content, their timing within the dynamic of the Spiritual Exercises, their continuing validity and correct implementation in today’s world. Enriched by this knowledge, students will then also explore Ignatius’ proposals for how to pray about fundamental life choices.

Malta’s Catholic Churches as Bibles in Stone

Fiona Borg Catania

+8

The course is composed of five sessions which will each be held in a different location. The aim is to integrate Sacred Scripture with Sacred Architecture, linking the two dimensions. It is designed for anyone with an interest in how the intrinsic link between the two can emerge in some of the Churches that surround us and the meaning that can be deduced from such surroundings. Among the Churches considered in this course, we find the Annunciation Church in Balzan, St Mary's Church and St Helen's Basilica in Birkirkara, the Rotunda in Mosta, and St. John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta. This course aims to help the student see the space surrounding them in places of worship with new eyes and be able to experience this presence in a different way. This course is suitable for all, regardless of their background in architecture, and no prior experience is required.
