Publikazzjonijiet Agostinjani - Warajk Biss Irrid Nimxi, Mulej!

Fis-sena 1986 ippubblikajna ktieb bl-isem "Lilek Biss Inħobb, Mulej" li kien jiġbor fih numru konsiderevoli ta' talbiet magħmulin minn Santu Wistin lil Alla. B'dan il-ktieb il-ġdid, "Warajk Biss Irrid Nimxi, Mulej!" ħsibna li nagħtu lill-qarrejja tagħna aktar talb sabiħ ta' missierna Santu Wistin. Din il-pubblikazzjoni hija kompletament differenti mill-ktieb stampat fis-sittax-il Ċentenarju tal-konverżjoni ta' Santu Wistin.

Publikazzjonijiet Agostinjani - Id-Diskors tal-Mulej Fuq il-Muntanja (de sermone domini in monte)

Malta Augustinian Province 1999

Dan il-ktieb huwa maqsum f' żewg kotba. L-ewwel ktieb huwa parafrasi u kumment tal-kapitlu ħamsa tal-Evanġelju skond S.Mattew, fejn l-evanġelista jibda d-diskors li Sidna Ġesu għamel lill-folol tan-nies miġburin madwaru fuq il-muntanja.
Fih S.Wistin sikwit jirrikorri ghall-Ittri ta' S.Pawlbiex isaħħaħ l-argumenti tiegħu u jiċċara l-pożizzjoni tiegħu.
Sew fl-ewwel ktieb kif ukoll fit-tieni S.Wistin spiss jirreferi għal siltiet sħaħ mid-diskors tal-Mulej dwar waħda jew oħra mill-beatitudnijiet. Kif hu stess itenni matul il-kummentarju tiegħu, ir-rabta bejn il-beatitudnijiet mhux dejjem tidher ċara, u għalhekk sikwit jistieden lill-qarrejja tiegħu biex flimkien miegħu jaraw u jiflu sewwa kliem il-Mulej.

It-tieni ktiebfih parafrasi u kummentarju tat-tagħlim ta' Ġesu Kristu kif jinstab fil-kapitli sitta u sebgħa tal-Evanġelju skond S. Mattew; jibda b'kummentarju ta' l-aħħar tnejn fost il-beatitudnijiet.
Skond S. Wistin il-beatitudnijiet huma sebgħa li hu jqabbilhom ma' l-għadd simboliku tas-seba' doni tal-Ispirtu s-Santu; il-beatitudni ta' dwak li huma ppersegwitati minħabba l-virtu' jfissirha bħala l-qofol tal-beatitudnijiet kollha.

Publikazzjonijiet Agostinjani - Il-Ktieb tas-Sigħat

F'dawn l-aħħar snin il-Papiet San Ġwanni Pawlu II, Benedittu XVI u Franġisku saħqu fuq l-importanza li għandu llum it-tagħlim ta' Santu Wistin biex jiggwida lill-fidili fil-mixja tal-ħajja Nisranija. Iżda biex dan iseħħ hemm bżonn li jixterdu l-kitbiet tiegħu. L-istudjużi u dawk li jaqilbu l-opri tiegħu għandhom rwol kbir f'dan, u Patri Peter Paul Cachia bħala Agostinjan devot ħa għal qalbu din il-ħidma li joffri din it-traduzzjoni tal-Eżerċizzi Spiritwali fl-Istqarrijiet lill-poplu bil-lingwa Maltija. Jalla x-xogħol tiegħu jgħin lil ħafna jimxu bħala pellegrini ma' Santu Wistin lejn Alla.
