So that I can hear your voice.
you'll stop talking with love;
if you shout, you'll shout with love;
if you correct, you'll correct with love.

It has eyes to see the misery and want.
It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of people.
This is what love looks like.
whose temples you have become.
my strength and in the name of the Lord,
I also have friends who have accepted
to follow the same ideal.

B’qalb mimlija gratitudni u tama, nagħlqu l-ewwel parti tal-Kapitlu Provinċjali Ordinarju. Dawn il-jumejn kienu mmarkati bit-talb, id-dixxerniment u l-komunità, hekk kif fittixna nisimgħu b’attenzjoni l-leħen tal-Ispirtu li qed imexxi ’l quddiem il-Provinċja tagħna.
Mument sinifikanti tal-lum kien l-għażla tal-Kunsill Provinċjali, magħmul minn Fr Terence Spiteri OSA, Fr Pierre Desira OSA, Fr David Cortis OSA u Fr Alex Cauchi OSA; is-Segretarju, Fr Terence Spiteri OSA; u l-Ekonomu, Fr Martin Micallef OSA. Flimkien mal-Pirjol Provinċjali, Fr Leslie Gatt OSA, huma ġew fdati bir-responsabbiltà li jaqdu l-komunità tagħna b’għerf, dedikazzjoni u fedeltà lejn il-missjoni tagħna.
Inkomplu nżommuhom fit-talb tagħna, nitolbu lill-Mulej imexxihom fid-deċiżjonijiet tagħhom u jsaħħaħhom fil-qadi tagħhom, hekk kif issa qed nippreparaw għat-tieni parti tal-Kapitlu li se ssir mit-13 sas-17 ta’ April 2026.
Hekk kif nimxu ’l quddiem, j’Alla dak kollu li beda fl-Ispirtu jagħti frott fl-għaqda, fil-kuraġġ u fis-servizz lill-knisja.

With gratitude and hope, we bring to a close the first part of the Ordinary Provincial Chapter.
These two days have been marked by prayer, discernment, and community, as we sought to listen attentively to the voice of the Spirit guiding our Province forward.
A significant moment of today has been the selection of the Provincial Council, composed of Fr Terence Spiteri OSA, Fr Pierre Desira OSA, Fr David Cortis OSA, and Fr Alex Cauchi OSA; the Secretary, Fr Terence Spiteri OSA; and the Bursar, Fr Martin Micallef OSA. Together with the Prior Provincial, Fr Leslie Gatt OSA, they have been entrusted with the responsibility of serving our community with wisdom, dedication, and fidelity to our mission.
We continue to keep them in our prayers, asking the Lord to guide their decisions and strengthen them in their service, as we now prepare for the second part of the Chapter, which will take place from 13th to 17th April 2026.
As we move ahead, may all that has begun in the Spirit bear fruit in unity, courage, and faithful service.
