Fil-\u0127ajja tieg\u0127i sa issa, l-Mulej tani l-grazzja li niltaqa\u2019 u anke na\u0127dem ma\u2019 \u0127afna nies li kienu u g\u0127adhom ta\u2019 ispirazzjoni kbira g\u0127alija. Wie\u0127ed minn dawn il-persuni huwa John L. Peel li l-Mulej sejja\u0127lu g\u0127al g\u0127andu dan l-a\u0127\u0127ar.<\/p>\n
John kien ra\u0121el e\u017cemplari li fis-sempli\u010bit\u00e0 tieg\u0127u g\u0127ex il-mixja tal-fidi tieg\u0127u. \u017bgur li ma kienx perfett imma l-qaddisin huma wkoll dawk li jg\u0127ixu l-Van\u0121elu fis-sempli\u010bit\u00e0 tal-\u0127ajja ta\u2019 kuljum.<\/p>\n
John kien ukoll ra\u0121el tal-familja. Hu ddedika \u0127inu u l-ener\u0121ija kollha tieghu g\u0127all-familja u g\u0127ix is-sej\u0127a ta\u017c-\u017cwie\u0121 b\u2019im\u0127abba kbira. John \u0127abb bla kundizzjonijiet. Kien jg\u0127ix g\u0127all-familja. \u0126abb lil martu Antoinette b\u2019im\u0127abba kbira, \u0127abb lil bintu Christine u ddedika \u0127ajtu g\u0127aliha 24 sieg\u0127a kuljum u fl-istess \u0127in ta l-istess im\u0127abba u attenzjoni lil ibnu John, lil martu Angela u n-neputijiet Stephanie Anne u John Mark. \u0126ajtu nistg\u0127u ng\u0127idu li kienet innu ta\u2019 m\u0127abba. Imma dan l-innu tal-im\u0127abba ma g\u0127exux biss mal-familja tieg\u0127u imma wkoll g\u0127exu ma\u2019 tant nies o\u0127ra li l-Mulej laqqg\u0127u mag\u0127hom. John kien bniedem li lest jinsa lilu nnifsu biex ja\u0127seb fl-o\u0127rajn. Il-\u0121enero\u017cit\u00e0 u d-dedikazzjoni kienet bla limitu u din narawha tispi\u010b\u010ba fil-\u0127idma mifruxa tieg\u0127u ta\u2019 volontarjat ming\u0127ajr \u0127afna daqq ta\u2019 trombi. Dejjem issibu lest biex jg\u0127in.<\/p>\n
John nistg\u0127u ng\u0127idu li kien wie\u0127ed mill-veterani li \u0127admu qatieg\u0127 fis-settur tal-Persuni b\u2019Di\u017cabilt\u00e0 f\u2019Malta. Il-\u0127idma tieg\u0127u f\u2019dan il-qasam rat il-bidu tag\u0127ha mat-twelid tal-g\u0127a\u017ci\u017ca bintu Christine. Minn dak inhar \u2018il quddiem huwa qatt ma \u0127ares lura u baqa\u2019 attiv u nteressat sa l-a\u0127\u0127ar f\u2019dak kollu li kien qieg\u0127ed ji\u0121ri f\u2019dan is-settur. G\u0127al tmintax-il sena s\u0127a\u0127 kien Chairman tal-Asso\u010bjazzjoni Down Syndrome li matulhom ukoll kien rappre\u017centant tal-istess Asso\u010bjazzjoni fuq il-Federazzjoni Maltija ta\u2019 Organizzazzjonijiet Persuni b\u2019Di\u017cabilt\u00e0 (MFOPD). G\u0127al xi \u017cmien kien ukoll President tal-istess Federazzjoni. John irrappre\u017centa lill-Asso\u010bjazzjoni Down Syndrome g\u0127al diversi drabi, barra minn Malta u lill-Federazzjoni fuq il-Kumitati fi \u0127dan il-Kummissjoni Nazzjonali Persuni b\u2019Di\u017cabilit\u00e0 (Illum tissejja\u0127 il-Kummissjoni g\u0127ad-Drittijiet ta\u2019 Persuni b\u2019Di\u017cabilt\u00e0). John kien President Onorarju tal-Asso\u010bjazzjoni Down Syndrome. John kien ukoll g\u0127al diversi snin membru fil-kumitat tal-G\u0127aqda Nazzjonali \u0120enituri b\u2019Di\u017cabilit\u00e0. Barra minn dan g\u0127al bosta snin u sa ftit granet ilu kien jg\u0127in ukoll b\u2019\u0127idma volontarja fid-Dar tal-Providenza. U jekk dan ma kienx bi\u017c\u017cejjed ma nistg\u0127ux ma nsemmux l-involviment tieg\u0127u, ukoll fuq ba\u017ci volontarja, fir-Royal British Legion u fir-Royal Air Force Association (RAFA) fejn kien jg\u0127in b\u2019mod spe\u010bjali lil familji ta\u2019 ex-servicemen biex ting\u0127atalhom il-pensjoni u flus o\u0127ra dovuti lilhom.<\/p>\n
Il-Papa Fran\u0121isku jg\u0127id li l-im\u0127abba mhix kliem, hi g\u0127emil u qadi; qadi umli, mag\u0127mul fis-skiet u fil-mo\u0127bi, kif qal \u0120es\u00f9 nnifsu: \u201cidek ix-xellugija m\u2019g\u0127andhiex tkun taf x\u2019inhi tag\u0127mel il-leminija\u201d (Mt 6:3). Hekk kien John u g\u0127alhekk jibqa\u2019 ta\u2019 ispirazzjoni g\u0127alija.<\/p>\n
