Rediscovering your style... of prayer!

Rediscovering your style… of prayer!

So if you’re anything like most of us, you haven’t put an outfit together in weeks and you might even wonder how you’re going to get your style back again when this is all over. Prayer isn’t all that different. Discovering your prayer style means trying different things and seeing what works for you and quarantine is a good time to figure it out. People pray differently and that’s the beauty of…

‘My Quarantine is Better than Yours’ What are the words you've heard most often during the past month? "Covid-19", "Coronavirus", "Social distancing", "Self-isolation", "Quarantine".

Kuraġġ fil-Kwarantina Dal-aħħar kont qed nitkellem ma’ xi ħaddieħor li qiegħed f’kwarantina mandatorja u t-tnejn qbilna li waħda mill-iktar affarijiet li qiegħda tiffrustrana hija li bħalissa għandna l-ħin li dejjem xtaqna biex nagħmlu affarijiet li nħobbu jew li nixtiequ, iżda issa xorta mhux qed nagħmluhom.

Challenging God

It’s all fun and games when you’re surrounded by people who have the same mindset as you when your friends are hyped up about prayer and full of enthusiasm to discover who God is.

The question is, what happens when God seems to be so far away? When life presents you with people who not only don’t believe in God but make fun of you because you do; when situations in life get difficult; when your…

Realign, Even After Lent For Lent this year I cut Instagram out. I never thought that it would affect my life as much as it did, both positively and negatively.

20 Things for 40 days

20 Things for 40 days

Another year, another Lent. I admit I wasn’t looking forward to it this year. It can all become a sort of routine which you expect to go through at this time of year. So now is the time to figure out how these 40 days are going to make a difference in your life. Giving up something during Lent can seem boring because let’s face it, most people give up chocolate and/or meat. Why not try giving up…

Seeking direction

Do you know what we’re celebrating today? Today is the feast of when three magi (priests of ancient Persia) found a woman in a house with her baby son. Doesn’t sound so great right? What if I told you that these three magi were following a star from the east all the way to Jerusalem? Not much greater.

Well imagine:

“After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi…

Qed nistenna!

Iż-żmien tal-Avvent ifakkarni ħafna fi stennija, tistenna jew allinqas toħlom li se jagħtuk daqt li ilek tant tixtieq( speċjalment mingħand is-secret santa!), tistenna li tistrieħ xi ftit waqt il-vaganzi u kontinwament nistennew, kemm affarijiet materjali kif ukoll ċertu mumenti. U forsi xbajt tistenna. Qed tistenna l-imħabba familjari, relazzjonali, il-paċi f’qalbek jew xi aħbar importanti. Qed…

Make someone happy this summer: 5 tips!

Make someone happy this summer: 5 tips!

I was waiting at the doctor’s waiting room the other day, and in the span of maybe two hours, there were grumbles of life, death announcements and a catch up of all the strains and pains the old women were experiencing. It only took a few minutes to realise that it was going to be a long wait.

I think that if we had to train our minds to realise that a bad moment does not mean a bad life, we’d be…

"Emotions are great SERVANTS but terrible MASTERS"

“Emotions are great SERVANTS but terrible MASTERS”

“Emotions are great servants but terrible masters” Emotions are one of our driving forces in life that are often the reason why we react the way we do. Are Emotions good? Yes. Emotions are given to us by God, and God doesn’t make mistakes. He gave them to us as tools to use, to add colour and taste to our lives. The satisfaction/ happiness we feel after helping someone encourages us do it more,…

Jump-start January

If I see the words ‘New Year’s Resolutions’ written anywhere else, I’m going to lock myself in my room all month. It’s not that I don’t like resolutions. I think it’s a great way to motivate yourself to be better, but actually, every day is a new opportunity to take the world by storm and improve, try new things, and make it a priority to pray, regardless of the date. Whether you’re inspired by…

In My View: the Catholic Life

Introduction If, like me, you have been brought up in a traditional Catholic family, you may have been conditioned to think about Catholicism in a certain way. While this lifestyle can be beneficial, it also has the potential to mess with the gift that is our faith. Taking some things for granted I was brought up going to mass every Sunday. Today I understand its benefits, but due to the fact…

A.S.A.P

Lol. *Insert pricless face of surprise*. Probabli dawn ikunu r-reazzjonijiet ta’ sħabek meta tgħidilhom b’liema mod spiċċajt l-aħħar jiem tas-sajf tiegħek. Boot camp għalihom ħela ta’ ħin u forsi aktar u aktar l-laqgħat ta’ kull ta’ nhar Ġimgħa. Nammettuha li dan kollu jaqtalgħna qalbna. Nistaqsu jekk il-ferħ li ħassejna kienx biss mill-entużjażmu u nonqsu milli nagħrfu l-preżenza t’Alla jew…

Things to do this Summer The sun, the sea, the ice cream, the holidays... All good things have come round again! Every year we get so excited for summer to come and when it does, we get bored pretty quickly (at least I remember walking around the house by September, not knowing what to do - just me?

Stand in Faith

Life can be difficult, and it’s easy to shift important things down the ladder of priority. This is a T-shirt my dad got me when he went overseas for work. Even though I don’t ride a bike, I understood the phrase “Stand in Faith” with a deeper meaning – endurance. When riding a bike (or running in my case!), it’s easy to get disheartened when you see a steep slope or have a long way left to go.…
