Nov 21 2024 Share

During a parliamentary discussion on the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, and Public Works’ financial matters, Minister Chris Bonnet announced that, starting in December, bus frequencies on major routes connecting northern and southern Malta will increase.

From December 1st, the frequency of buses on high-demand routes, particularly those linking southern areas like Fgura and Qajjenza to northern towns such as Mosta, Burmarrad, and San Pawl il-Baħar, will be enhanced.

Malta is currently the second EU country to offer free public transport, which has seen a significant rise in users, particularly among local residents.

Minister Bonnet also revealed that ferry usage has risen in the first 10 months of 2024. Plans are underway to extend the current ferry service, which operates between Sliema, Valletta, and Birgu, to Marsaskala.

‘God’s Influencer’ Carlo Acutis Set To Become 1st Millennial Saint

'God's Influencer' Carlo Acutis Set To Become 1st Millennial Saint
Nov 21 2024 Share

Carlo Acutis, a London-born teenager known as “God’s influencer,” will be canonised as a saint in April. Acutis, who passed away from leukaemia in 2006 at just 15, will become the first millennial declared a saint by the Catholic Church.

Dubbed the “patron saint of the internet,” Acutis was recognised for his devotion to digital evangelism. He created a website cataloging Eucharistic miracles, a project launched mere days before his death.

This initiative, now translated into multiple languages, continues to inspire Catholics worldwide and highlights his enduring legacy.

Though born in the UK, Acutis spent most of his life in Italy, passing away in Monza. His body was later moved to Assisi, where it is displayed alongside other relics.

He was beatified in 2020 following his first recognised miracle: the healing of a Brazilian child born with a rare congenital condition.

In May, Pope Francis confirmed a second miracle attributed to Acutis—the sudden recovery of a Florence university student from severe brain trauma.

This confirmation paves the way for sainthood, requiring proof of two miracles beyond natural explanation. The canonisation is set for the weekend of April 26, as announced by Pope Francis at the Vatican.
