Gozo Minister mum on brother’s beatification process

Gozo Minister Giovanna Debono does not want to comment over the process going on in Gozo to beatify her brother.

Contacted by sister newspaper Illum, Minister Giovanna Debono refused to comment on Fr Mikiel Attard’s process for beatification.

Whilst the Postulation in Gozo responsible of the process has called on the public to come forward with graces obtained through the intercession of Fr Attard, it also adds that it has already started receiving such graces.

Ara vera poplu baxx, pastaz u bla valuri. Jekk Giovanna kellha huha li kien qaddis f'hajtu u dan jafuh l-ghawdxin kollha, hi x'tahti? Jien naqbel ma min kiteb li j'Alla dan il-gvern iwarrab mill-iktar fis possibbli ghax ma jistax igib wahda zewg! Tilef il-kontroll u l-ministri m'humiex ta' stoffa! Ftit xhur ohra jkollna gvern iehor, izda din li zzeffnu lil knisja mhux sew! Ara hawnx xi bully fostkom u jnizzel ftit xi affarijiet tajbin li ghamlet il-knisja. Min irid jghix barra l-knisja bicca tieghu, issa anke divorzju gabilkom GonziPn! Imma hallu lil min hu kattoliku jemmen u jghix kif jixtieq. Iva jekk Dun Mikiel kien qaddis f'hajtu halluh ha jigi bbeatifikat bhal kulhadd!!! Issa mbaghad il-kontijiet ta' govanna taghmilhom hi mal-Mulej! Nixtieq insib Malti jew Ghawdxi li qatt ma mar ghand xi ministru jew xi ras kbira ghal xi grazzja. Iebsa Gann imma nipprova naqdik..... U abbli ghandek xi villa tal-gvern, xi tifla cabin crew mal-air malta, ir-ragel ta' 45 b'sahha jaqleb knisja u abbli harguh borded out, u llum driver ma xi ministru! Forsi tawk xi dar l-armier, minn dawk sea-view, bl-arlogg tad-dawl u l-ilma ukoll! U minjaf il-pilloli tal-kolesterol kemm ilek tohodhom b'xejn hux Gann!!! U halluna!!!

Ladarba il-popolarita` ta' Giovanni naqset minhabba l-entry ta' Chris Said fix-xena politika, Giovanna trid forcina biex terga tirbah il-voti waraja! U m'hemmx ahjar milli taghmel ftit propoganda b'dan il-fatt!

@ Human Torch...ir-rabja li ghandek u l-hdura li tohrog minnek hija xi haga tal-biza'. Qisek bniedem iddisprat. Idhol dahla fik innifsek u ara minn fejn gejja din is-sitwazzjoni miskiena li tinsab fiha u pprova irranga ghax il-mibeghda tikkunsmak u taghmillek hajtek mizerja. In-nom-de-plume li tinheba warajh ukoll juri x'tip ta' karattru int. Nithassrek L-anqas xahra f'gismek ma rrid inkun. Good luck.

Very smart move. I knew Fr Attard at a young age and I remember him giving me good advice at a very young age. And people should stop judging. Her brother's priestly duties and thoughts are not part of her political career. People, let's all grow up and stop fanning hate and nonsense.

Tajjeb kieku, l-Għawdxin ikollhom speċi ta' "one-stop-shop" - il-pjaċiri mingħand Ġiovanna u l-grazzji mingħand ħuha.

Ma nixtieqx nidhol fil-mertu jekk Dun Mikiel Attard ghandux jigi dikjarat beatu , dak tarah il-Knisja u il-Vatikan , izda li il-Knisja Ghawdxija trid thaffef dan il-process propju issa li qorbot l-elezzjoni , turi kemm fid-djocesi ta' Ghawdex hemm min hu lest li jhalli lill min jinqeda anke bl'aktar affarijiet sagri , imbasta jintlahaq l'ghan tieghu . Tkunux aktar nies ipokriti . Tinqdewx aktar bir-religjon . Ghamiltulha hsara bizzejjed . Eccellenza , ghadek ma nbahtx kemm ghandek ilpup libsin ta' naghag madwarek ? Jew dawk ma jimpurtax ?

Surely Giovanna doesn't comment over the process..being in some sort of a 13-year long hibernation, only to wake up a bit for the odd inauguration or to discharge some platitudes about eco-gozo-cultural-heritage-history...actually, is she for real? Or is she a waxwork ?

Hekk l-ghawdxin ikollhom qaddisa fl`art u iehor fis-sema. Pero jien ha niehu cans. "Father Mikiel Attard, nitolbok tehles lill poplu Malti minn dan il-Gvern sahta ta` Malta u Ghawdex" Minn hawn u ftit xhur ohra nkun nista nikteb lil Kurja bil-grazzja li qlajt.

Ma nafx kif ma tressaqx ukoll isem il-Ministru ghal Ghawdex ukoll, ghax mistaghgbin kemm taqla grazzji. Ara vera il-Knisja ta'Malta qabdet triq ghan-nizla u b'dawn ic-cucati iktar sejjra tkompli ghal-aghar.

Kollha qaddisin dawn...Jahasra ghalfejn f'Malta in nies ma jindunawx li dan il Gvern u ta' madwaru jaghmlu kollox ghal interess personali taghhom u ta' familthom...Kieku veru ghandna dawn il qaddidin kollha f'Malta, kieku m'ahwn dawn il probelmi kollha u id-dejn li qed iffaqqar izda genna ta l-art. Malti qum mir raqda u tajjar lil dawn l-ghazzien ta Gvern min hemm darba ghal dejjem!!!
