Personal temperament
Fr Alfred Micallef will this weekend lead a seminar dealing with how an individual’s personal temperament in-fluences his/her relationship with other people and with God.
Knowing a person’s tem-perament helps them under-stand the type of work they are most suitable for, it helps them solve difficulties they may have in their relationships and helps them find the most suitable type of prayer for their character.
The seminar, being held at Manresa retreat house, Victoria, starts tomorrow at 9 a.m. and ends on Sunday after lunch.
There will also be exercises to put the theory into practice.
For bookings, call Fr Anthony Cilia on 2155 6635 or e-mail manresagozo@gmail.com.
