Three-minute reflections


Advent time last year gave birth to the idea of presenting a three-minute reflection on the Sunday Gospel on the Franciscan Friars’ Facebook page by Fr Guardian Marcello Ghirlando, OFM.
Fr Ghirlando said Covid-19 necessarily made it more difficult for the faithful to attend Sunday Mass in small churches.
“Social distancing measures limited greatly the number of people who could attend. So, I decided to deliver a three-minute reflection on the Sunday Gospel,” Fr Marcello said.
The slot has popularly become known as Tlett Minuti mal-Patri.
“I try to present it as short and sweet as possible,” he added.
Fr Ghirlando said he records the short speeches on his laptop and upload them early on Saturdays. He said his aim was to bring the gospel message in a simple and very Franciscan way.

The Paschal Candle


Fr Guardian Marcello Ghirlando lit the Paschal Candle at the church of Saint Anthony of Padua, in Ghajnsielem, during a vigil that was livestreamed on the Friars’ Facebook page.
The event was celebrated with the usual pomp notwithstanding an empty church due to health restrictions.
“The light of Christ’s Resurrection will always overcome the darkness and chaos of evil, sin and death,” proclaimed the celebrant.
Loredana and Albert Lauren Agius led the joyous song of the Hallelujah, while the altar, the Easter Candle and the statue of the Risen Christ were beautifully decorated with flowers by a dedicated team of helpers who always ensure that the church looks beautiful.

Donut Friar founder leaves sweet legacy


GATLINBURG
When James Ryan came to Gatlinburg more than 50 years ago he did more than build a business that satisfied the sweet tooth of tourists and locals alike.
The owner of The Donut Friar, who died Jan. 7 after a brief battle with cancer, also left a legacy with his contributions to the community, particularly the students at Pi Beta Phi Elementary School.
“When we grew up all the kids from school would come over before school and get donuts, and after school before they got on the bus,” daughter Kathleen Greely said.
He enjoyed teaching the youth some basic life lessons, including manners as they asked for the tempting treats that drew them to the store.
