Prayer Spaces at Home and a Prayer for Malta in Maltese

We celebrate International Mother Language Day every 21st February to become aware of how important it is to learn, use and study our native language. Today, we will reflect on the lyrics of our National Anthem and write our prayer for Malta in Maltese.

  • From poster 1, choose a verse from the Maltese National Anthem which inspires you.
  • Look at the pictures on poster 2. What do they make you think of?
  • Draw the Maltese Flag and write your poem or prayer to God in Maltese for Malta.
