Malta has been a center of Christian/Catholic civilization, and a bastion against those who would overthrow the reign of Christ, almost since the time of St. Paul. May God keep them strong in the faith.

"...Christ, the desire of nations, who was incarnate for nine months before his birth." What a powerful thought. Jesus Christ, the desire of nations, was truly incarnate, that is, truly GOD, from the first moment of His miraculous conception. If you know anyone who doesn't believe that abortion is wrong, ask them to meditate on that for a few minutes. And then ask, what would be the state of humanity if Jesus had been aborted in Mary's womb?
