| Abstract: | The Mediterranean island of Malta is often referred to as ‘The Island of Paul.’ This designation was notably reflected in the theme of St Pope John Paul II’s first pastoral visit to Malta, which took place from 25 May to 27 May 1990, under the title: ‘Peter on the Island of Paul.’ At the conclusion of the Mass he celebrated on the Floriana Granaries, Pope John Paul let it be known what he intended to do following his experience on these islands: “I shall return to Rome and I shall meet Paul. It is necessary to meet Paul and to tell him about Malta. I shall say: “Paul, do you remember Malta? Do you remember that you founded a Church in Malta, and I found after so many centuries that it is a wonderful Church?" [excerpt] |
