Several churches in Victoria this week are holding the three days of solemn adoration of the Holy Eucharist known as Kwaranturi.
The Maltese word ‘kwaranturi’ has its origin in the Italian expression Quarant’Ore and refers to the 40 hours of solemn exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and adoration, programmed over three days.
At the cathedral, the Kwaranturi start tomorrow with a concelebrated Mass at 7.30am, while Canon Reuben Micallef will celebrate solemn Mass with homily at 6.30pm, followed by adoration and prayers for priestly vocations by seminarians at 7.15pm.
Friday and Saturday will also be days of adoration, while on Sunday, adoration starts at 3pm with the prayers of Divine Mercy.
