The liturgical time of Lent, in itself is a time which demands an exercise in prayer, in fasting and in charity. As in previous years, this year also the Seminary offered various opportunities to the seminarians, both on a personal level and also as a community, to spend Lent in a worthwhile manner. The programme for Lent included an increase in moments of prayer, for example the Mid day prayer, the Via Crucis and the Via Matris. On Friday 20th March, the Seminarians had moments of fraternal correction and participated in the Via Crucis at T’Ghammar. On Monday 23rd March, there was the penitential celebration for the seminarians. Every week during Lent, the seminarians visited the Sacred Heart Minor Seminary to receive donations for Fr Raymond Portelli’s Mission in Peru. This year, the funds would go for new beds in Fr Portelli’s hospital which hosts AIDS patients. On very Thursday of Lent, the seminarians visited various churches to receive donations for the Seminary from the faithful.
