A lot of the Maltese seem to be losing their faith.
They moan about the bells. I lived with the bells in my younger days and I felt each time they rang, cheerful or sad, they sent a message to me to pray.
They moan about the feasts. The feasts bring more people towards our faith, when we celebrate our saints and our Holy Mother. Without such saints there to help us along in our life we would have nothing.
It’s also an opportunity to be with families and friends. That’s what life is about. The feasts also takes us into churches so we may pray like good Catholics.
Obviously, the people who complain so much are losing their faith. We are happy in our way of life and proud of it.
