Read this story carefully and then answer the questions that follow:
Danica kien ilha żmien ma titlob bis-serjetà. Lanqas quddiesa tal-Ħadd ma kienet għadha tmur, aħseb u ara.
Jum fost l-oħrajn missierha tah attakk tal-qalb. Ħaduh l-isptar u sabu li kien jeħtieġ operazzjoni urġenti.
Tgħidx kemm marret quddies u talbet bil-qalb matul dak iż-żmien li missierha għamel l-isptar sakemm
irkupra mill-operazzjoni u bagħtuh id-dar! Iżda issa li għaddiet aktar minn sena, Danica ilha ma titlob bisserjetà minn dak iż-żmien.
Danica had stopped praying seriously for a long time. She had even stopped going to Sunday Mass. Then,
one day, her father had a heart attack. He was taken to hospital and it was decided that he needed an
1
urgent operation. During the time her father spent in hospital until he recovered sufficiently and was
discharged, Danica prayed a lot and went to Mass as often as she could. Now, over a year has passed and
Danica has not prayed or gone to Mass since.
Ikkummenta fuq din l-istorja. Hawn min lil Alla jitolbu biss meta jkun ġej xi eżami jew meta jkollu xi
mard fil-familja. Għaliex dan mhux sew? Kif ikun qed iħares lejn Alla min jagħmel hekk? Kif suppost
iħares in-Nisrani lejn Alla?
Comment on the story. There are people who pray to God only before an exam or when someone in
their family falls ill. What’s wrong in this? How do these people think of God? What should God
mean to a Christian?

tiegħu/tagħha?

your age?
6. San Pawl kien ixebbah lill-Knisja ma’ ġisem uman li tiegħu Kristu hu r-Ras. Spjega kif din ix-xbieha
tgħin lill-Insara jikbru fir-rispett u l-għaqda tagħhom ma’ Kristu u bejniethom.
St Paul compared the church to a human body with Christ as the Head. Explain how this image helps

Church.
7. Għaliex jeħtieġ li bniedem ikun kapaċi jaħfer u jitlob maħfra lil ħaddieħor? Kif nafu li Alla lest li jaħfer
lil min jidneb? Fit-tweġiba tiegħek għat-tieni parti tal-mistoqsija irreferi għal xi ġrajjiet u/jew
parabboli li nsibu fl-Evanġelji.

Christian be neither like Albert nor like Monika?
10. B’liema mod il-Madonna hija mudell ta’ kif l-Insara għandhom ikunu? B’liema mod il-Madonna
