On the Road With Saint Augustine: A Real World Spirituality for Restless Hearts

Product Information

St Julian’s is a relatively young village that was practically undeveloped until the 1800s, having traditionally been a fisherman’s village. the area where today lies St Julian’s started being used for hunting by the Knights of St John, who also built the first chapel (known as Lapsi) in about 1580. This was later demolished and rebuilt several times until the final version was erected around 1716. During this time, the village continued to grow slowly. In fact we may have a situation where the apostle, the church founder, perhaps even the founder of the church of Rome, included a woman and the main leadership in Rome was by women. The Thirsty Barber (Triq Ball) offers a pretty unique atmosphere with a 1920’s US prohibition-style interior and service. With a menu of high-quality gins, whiskies, cognac and brandy and more types of liquor it’s a great place to step in for a couple of rounds.

Paul's martyrdom in or around 67 AD is commemorated by Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans and Eastern Orthodoxy on the 29th June each year.

Reading Paul's letters and Acts of the Apostles we learn that Paul was born in Tarsus, in modern day Eastern Turkey, he was a tent maker by trade, was an avid student under the top Jewish teacher in Jerusalem and was also a Roman citizen. Here is a man who worked with his hands but wrote with the grace of a Greek philosopher; a Jewish zealot who nevertheless enjoyed the rights of citizenship in the world's greatest empire.

Romanesque architecture, a new genre of ecclesiastical architecture, was designed with massive archways to cope with huge crowds of the devout. [21] What we know about Paul comes from two extraordinary sources. The first is the Acts of the Apostles, written after Paul's death, almost certainly by the same author who wrote St Luke's gospel. There is evidence that Acts was written to pass on the Christian message, but behind the theology lie clues about Paul's life. The author of Acts claims that he knew Paul and even accompanied him on many of his journeys. The second source is Paul's own letters. They represent Paul's own version of events, and it seems reasonable to accept them as the more reliable account.

Here, only a few routes are named. For a complete list of all the routes (traditional and less so), see: Camino de Santiago (route descriptions). The Damascus Road experience was both a conversion and a call. It was a conversion away from his previous life as a zealous persecutor of Jesus' followers and it was a call to a new life advancing the cause of the new movement with even more vigour than he had shown before. Now, with boundless energy, Paul preached the gospel of the Christ crucified for the sins of all people far and wide, beginning at Jerusalem and continuing all the way to Rome. His achievement was a matter of some pride for him: A Pilgrim's Mass is held in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela each day at 12:00 and 19:30. [40] Pilgrims who received the compostela the day before have their countries of origin and the starting point of their pilgrimage announced at the Mass. The Botafumeiro, one of the largest censers in the world, is operated during certain Solemnities and on every Friday, except Good Friday, at 19:30. [41] Priests administer the Sacrament of Penance, or confession, in many languages. In the Holy Year of 2010 the Pilgrim's Mass was exceptionally held four times a day, at 10:00, 12:00, 18:00, and 19:30, catering for the greater number of pilgrims arriving in the Holy Year.

Although Paceville offers a few good restaurants, there’s a wider variety of choices in other parts of St. Julian’s as well, particularly Spinola Bay, which you’ll encounter along the promenade as you walk in the direction of Sliema. Balluta Bay (the second bay on your way to Sliema) has a small square with a number of smaller cafes, which are great to unwind during the day.
