Respecting our churches

Our Lady of Grace church, Zabbar, Malta

The Sunday Gospel reading today shows Jesus getting upset at seeing the people turning his Father’s Temple into a marketplace. May we have the same respect and love of our churches as Jesus did 2000 years ago. Looking at Maltese churches, I have no doubt that the people here have loved and cherish their churches, as they’ve done over the past 500 years or more, since the time that many of them were built. I share with you three different churches, three different styles of architecture that is prevalent in the Maltese islands.
