L-Ispirtu Missjnarju fil-Provin\u010bja Agostinjana Maltija<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minn Patri Lu\u010bjan Borg \u2013 Agostinjan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Missjunarju f\u2019Kuba<\/strong><\/p>\n

L-ispirtu missjunarju minn dejjem kien pre\u017centi fil-Provin\u010bja Agostinjana Maltija, u l-aktar mis-seklu XX \u2019il hawn.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Biex ng\u0127id sar aktar vi\u017cibbli meta xi a\u0127wa tal-Provin\u010bja \u0127allew xtut art twelidna biex imorru, fis-snin g\u0127oxrin u tletin tas-seklu XX, jg\u0127inu fl-Awstralja. Fosthom kien hemm P. Mikiel Mizzi li fis-sena 1933 \u0121ie msejja\u0127 sabiex jag\u0127mel parti mill-ewwel komunit\u00e0 Agostinjana ta’ Ippona, fl-Al\u0121erija. Orizzont ie\u0127or fl-istess snin infeta\u0127 meta wasal P. Cauchi f\u2019Toronto, il-Kanada. Sfortunatament il-Provin\u010bja qatt ma rnexxielha tifta\u0127 missjoni hemm. Aktar tard, fis-snin tas-sittin, \u0121ara l-istess \u0127a\u0121a meta l-Provin\u010bja li kienet issostitwiet lill-a\u0127wa Fragiskani Minuri (ta’ \u0120ie\u017cu) f\u2019Portsmouth, fl-Ingliterra, ma wasletx biex ikollha komunit\u00e0 stabbli hemmhekk. Kien g\u0127alhekk li l-\u0120eneral A. Trap\u00e9, wara tliet snin ta\u2019 esperimentazzjoni, talab lilll-Provin\u010bja tirtira mill-Ingilterra.<\/p>\n

L-attivit\u00e0 missjunarja tal-Provin\u010bja Agostinjana Maltija \u017cviluppat b’mod aktar strutturat fis-seklu g\u0127oxrin, l-ewwel u qabelxejn fil-missjoni tal-Afrika ta’ Fuq, fl-Al\u0121erija u t-Tuni\u017cija. L-Agostinjani, spe\u010bjalment meta saru Ordni mendikanti, xtaqu jer\u0121g\u0127u lura lejn l-Afrika ta’ Fuq, art twelid Santu Wisitn, il-fundatur spiritwali tag\u0127hom. Wara diversi tentattivi, dan se\u0127\u0127 fis-sena 1930 meta l-\u0120eneral Cl. Fuhl qala\u2019 l-awtorizzazzjoni li jwaqqaf kunvent f\u2019Ippona, fejn Santu Wistin g\u0127ex, ipprietka u wettaq l-ministeru tieg\u0127u sa\u010berdotali u ta’ isqof mis-sena 391 sat-28 ta’ Awwissu tas-sena 430, jum il-mewt tieg\u0127u.<\/p>\n

Meta da\u0127lu l-Agostinjani Maltin fl-Al\u0121erija, l-Afrika ta’ Fuq kienet ta\u0127t il-\u0127akma tal-kolonjali\u017cmu Fran\u010bi\u017c. Sa minn qabel il-wasla tal-Fran\u010bi\u017ci diversi Maltin u G\u0127awdxin kienu emigraw lejn it-Tuni\u017cija, l-Al\u0121erija u Tripoli. Fi \u017cmien il-kolonjali\u017cmu Fran\u010bi\u017c in-numru kiber sew. Meta Mons. Lavigerie la\u0127aq isqof tat-Tuni\u017cija u m\u0127abbar amministratur tad-djo\u010besi ta’ Kostantina u Ippona (fis-seklu XIX) kellu l-okka\u017cjoni li jiltaqa’ ma’ \u0127afna Maltin u G\u0127awdxin li kienu f’dawn it-territorji u ammira ferm fihom r-reli\u0121jon kattolika li kellhom, it-tjubija, id-dedikazzjoni g\u0127ax-xog\u0127ol u l-fa\u010bilit\u00e0 li jit\u0127alltu mal-G\u0127arab. \u0126afna minn dawn \u0127utna ma kinux jafu jitkellmu bil-Fran\u010bi\u017c u g\u0127alhekk Lavigerie kien talab lill-knisja Maltija biex tibg\u0127at fi \u017cmien ir-Randan xi sa\u010berdoti biex jag\u0127mlu l-e\u017cer\u010bizzi bil-Malti. Fosthom kienu marru xi Agostinjani. Fatt ie\u0127or li wie\u0127ed m\u2019g\u0127andux jinsa huwa li fis-sena 1928, meta l-banda La Vallette telg\u0127et iddoqq f’Bona kien tela\u2019 mag\u0127ha \u0127una, P. Tonna Barthet, u dan kien ivvja\u0121\u0121a sa Kostantina fejn iltaqa’ mal-Isqof Thienard u ppre\u017centalu x-xewqa tal-Agostinjani Maltin biex imorru ja\u0127dmu fost il-Maltin u G\u0127awdxin tad-djo\u010besi tieg\u0127u. Il-laqg\u0127a ma tantx kellha su\u010b\u010bess u kellha tkun is-Santa Sede biex tift\u0127ilna t-triq.<\/p>\n

Meta l-\u0120eneral Fuhl ir\u010bieva mis-Santa Sede l-awtorizzazzjoni biex jifta\u0127 missjoni f’Ippona mal-ewwel afda din il-missjoni f’idejn il-Provin\u010bja Maltija. Fl-1933, il-Majjistru P. Wenz Agius, il-Provin\u010bjal ta’ dawk i\u017c-\u017cminijiet, iffirma l-kuntratt mal-Isqof Thienard u hekk bdiet \u0127idma fejjieda u missjunarja l-ewwel fost il-Maltin u l-G\u0127awdxin u li ma\u017c-\u017cmien \u017cviluppat ru\u0127ha biex tadatta g\u0127all-esi\u0121enzi tal-mument u g\u0127all-\u0127ti\u0121ijiet kemm tal-Knisja kif ukoll tal-pajji\u017c. Fl-1946 il-Provin\u010bjal P. Pawl Spiteri wessa\u2019 l-\u0127idma missjunarja billi l-ewwel feta\u0127 komunit\u00e0 fil-belt kapitali tat-Tuni\u017cija u ftit wara f’La Goulette. Illum il-\u0121urnata tlifna l-pre\u017cenza Agostinjana fit-Tuni\u017cija, i\u017cda l-pre\u017cenza Agostinjana g\u0127adha \u0127ajja f\u2019Ippona fejn komunit\u00e0 internazzjonali t’Agostinjani \u017cg\u0127a\u017cag\u0127 qeg\u0127din ikompli l-missjoni li bdiet il-Provin\u010bja Agostinjana Maltija fis-sena 1933.<\/p>\n

It-tieni impenn kbir li \u0127adet il-Provincja Agostinjana Maltija huwa l-ftu\u0127 u l-i\u017cvilupp tal-missjoni tal-Bra\u017cil. F’dak i\u017c-\u017cmien konna g\u0127add mhux \u0127a\u017cin ta’ a\u0127wa u P. Ugolin Gatt, li kien il-Provin\u010bjal, \u0127ass li ma kien hemm xejn isba\u0127 milli l-Provin\u010bja tifta\u0127 qasam \u0121did ta’ missjoni, din id-darba fil-Bra\u017cil, f\u2019Mato Grosso. Fi Frar 1962 tela’ hu flimkien ma’ P. Pawl Spiteri, ex-Provin\u010bjal u surmast tag\u0127na l-istudenti. P. Pawl ming\u0127ajr ma kien jaf il-Portugi\u017c u \u0121a ta’ \u010berta et\u00e0 offra ru\u0127u biex imur ja\u0127dem hemm. Ix-xog\u0127ol kien kbir \u0127afna u g\u0127all-grazzja t’Alla diversi minn \u0127utna, spe\u010bjalment \u017cg\u0127a\u017cag\u0127, \u0127admu u \u017cviluppaw u wettqu pro\u0121etti ta’ siwi kbir kemm nisrani kif ukoll so\u010bjali fid-diversi stati fejn konna. Billi fil-Bra\u017cil kien hemm Provin\u010bji Agostinjani o\u0127ra ja\u0127dmu hemm in\u0127asset il-\u0127tie\u0121a li titwaqqaf il-Provin\u010bja Agostinjani Bra\u017ciljana. A\u0127na l-Maltin konna minn tal-ewwel li \u0127e\u0121\u0121i\u0121na g\u0127al dan u \u0127dimna biex dan il-pro\u0121ett jirnexxi. Illum \u0127utna l-Agostinjani Bra\u017ciljani qeg\u0127din imexxu din l-Provin\u010bja Bra\u017ciljana u l-Provin\u010bja tag\u0127na g\u0127adha tag\u0127ti sehemha permezz tal-pre\u017cenza u l-\u0127idma ta’ \u0127una P. Pawl Formosa. Ma nixtieqx ninsa l-missjoni ta’ \u0127utna s-sorijiet Agostinjani, Servi ta’ \u0120es\u00f9 u Marija, li huma wkoll fet\u0127u missjoni fil-Bra\u017cil u li g\u0127adhom ja\u0127dmu hemm sal-lum.<\/p>\n

Qatt ma nistg\u0127u ninsew il-\u0127idma fejjieda li l-a\u0127wa tal-Provin\u010bja wettqu mill-kunvent Agostinjan ta\u2019 Katanja fi Sqallija minn meta l-Provin\u010bjal, P. Albert Borg, fis-sena 1978, bag\u0127at l-ewwel komunit\u00e0 Agostinjana Maltija hemmhekk. Lista twila ta\u2019 a\u0127wa mill-Provin\u010bja servew f\u2019din il-missjoni li barra li komplew u \u017cviluppaw il-\u0127idma pastorali tal-a\u0127wa Sqallin, \u0127asbu biex ikunu qrib il-Maltin li kienu jinsabu f\u2019Katanja u \u2019l hemm minnha. Il-Provin\u010bja riedet tag\u0127ti wkoll servizz so\u010bjali billi ttrasformat parti mill-kunvent f\u2019hostel biex jilqa\u2019 lill-Maltin jew \u2019l-G\u0127awdxin li kienu jitilg\u0127u xi jumejn Katanja. Il-\u0127idma baqg\u0127et sejra sas-sena 2007.<\/p>\n

Illum inqasna sew u l-\u0127idma kotrana li g\u0127andna fil-g\u017cejjer tag\u0127na ma tippermettilniex li jkollna aktar missjonijiet tag\u0127na. B’dan kollu l-ispirtu missjunarju g\u0127adu sejjer, u dan fuq kollox bil-\u0127idma li qieg\u0127ed jag\u0127mel P. Mario Abela u l-grupp ta’ \u017cg\u0127a\u017cag\u0127, mag\u0127rufa b\u0127ala Amigos<\/em>, li matul dawn l-a\u0127\u0127ar 23 sena ma naqsux li ta’ kull sena jmorru ja\u0127dmu g\u0127al diversi \u0121img\u0127at – l-ewwel fil-missjoni tag\u0127na tal-Bra\u017cil u dawn l-a\u0127\u0127ar snin fil-missjonijiet Agostinjani tal-Kenya u tal-Mozambik, fil-kontinent Afrikan. Jalla jitwelldu \u017cminijiet a\u0127jar u jikbru l-vokazzjonijiet biex hekk il-Provin\u010bja Agostinjana Maltija jkollha l-forzi me\u0127tie\u0121a \u0127alli ssawwab f’impenji konkreti r-rieda tag\u0127ha li tkompli tkun mixtla ta’ missjunarji li jmorru j\u0127abbru l-Bxara t-Tajba \u2019l hemm minn xtutna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
