Abstract: "Volendo creare un'immagine della bellezza assoluta e manifestare
chiaramente agli uomini e agli angeli la potenza della sua arte, Dio ha fatto
veramente Maria tutta bella. Egli ha riunito in Lei le bellezze particolari
distribuite alle altre creature e l'ha costituita il comune ornamento di tutti
gli altri esseri visibili e invisibili; o piuttosto, ha fatto di Lei come un
miscuglio di tutte le perfezioni divine, angeliche e umane, una bellezza
sublime che abbellisce i due mondi, che si eleva dalla terra fino al cielo e che
sorpassa anche quest'ultimo".1983-01-01T00:00:00ZPagan and christian elements in "King Lear"https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/326742018-08-15T01:33:44Z1983-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Pagan and christian elements in "King Lear"
Abstract: King Lear is the climax of Shakespearean tragedy. It is also the best
transition play between the tragedies and the last plays. In King Lear we
have the work of a mature poet and dramatist, such that if we may find
Shakespeare's settled opinion on our subject in anyone play it is best to
look for it, I think, in King Lear. Aristotle gave greater weight to tragedy
than to history because tragedy deals with universals, history with
particulars. Though a tragedy could be constructed on a single tragic event,
the Elizabethan no less than the Greek playwright sought to penetrate to the
universal world of guilt, passion and justice. In King Lear we witness the
actions not of ancient Britons, but of humanity; we see not England, but the
world. Both Greek and Elizabethan tragedy had religious origins;
speculation on the ways of God to men was, therefore, an intrinsic part in
them. The moralities were contemporary with the early Elizabethan drama
so that the religious element in tragedy was not foreign. King Lear is in
many ways a religious play,more than Hamlet or Macbeth. Shakespeare's
other equally religious play is Measure for Measure.1983-01-01T00:00:00ZReconciliation in Christ and Mary, mother of reconciliationhttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/326732018-08-15T01:33:56Z1983-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Reconciliation in Christ and Mary, mother of reconciliation
Abstract: At the dawn of the Christian era, the inhabitants of Malta welcomed in
their midst two great exponents of the Christian faith. They welcomed Paul,
the Apostle of the Gentiles, who brought with him "the word of reconciliation", and they greeted Luke, Paul's fellow-worker and Christianity's first
Marian doctor.
Today Malta is welcoming numerous other distinguished visitors. They
come from many countries on the footsteps of Paul and Luke to honour
Mary, Mother of reconciliation. The Church which is in Malta welcomes
them as brethren in the faith and joins them in praying for reconciliation at
home and abroad.1983-01-01T00:00:00Z
