Since my earliest days as a priest — I was ordained a presbyter at only 24 years of age, thanks be to God! — I always had this craze of collecting stories. All kinds of stories from all kinds of sources and all kinds of languages. And so I have stored on my computer (in the beginning it was in box files) thousands upon thousands of stories. Years ago I unearthed some of these stories, added a short reflection to each story and published them in two books in Maltese, entitled ‘L-Istejjer tal-Patri’. This is a translation of these two books. And also some others…I hope they will do good to someone.
Above all, may His name be glorified!
Please, pray for me
