The Minister Provincial, Fr. Sandro Overend, was invited by the youths of St. Anthony’s OFM church in Gozo, to Preside the celebration of the Mass on the third Sunday of Advent. During the celebration the youths, under the spiritual direction of Fr. Joseph Magro OFM, the present guardian of the fraternity, organised a mime offering a deep reflection on the meaning of Christmas and the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ in our lives. Joy, that is of Divine origin, is granted to humanity. If we open our hearts to Jesus and communicate with Him, life will change and we will experience the real joy that the world cannot offer. During trials, we still can experience the wonders of the Lord and His presence.
Fr. Sandro said that the mime was very well organised and it gave the opportunity, to himself, to the many youths and all the congregation that attended the 11.00 a.m Mass, to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and the true joy that the Lord brings to humanity. He also said that he enjoyed the enthusiasm of the Youths and augured them to continue to offer such reflections in a world thirsty for the meaning of the Word of God.
