    Qed niċċelebraw il-festa tar-Rużarju Mqaddes. Ir-rużarju huwa don minn għand Alla l-Missier għalina l-Insara li nemmnu. Dak li aħna nagħmlu fil-liturġija tul sena: twelid ta’ Ġesù, mewt ta’ Ġesù, il-qawmien ta’ Ġesù aħna nikkontemplawh fir-rużarju f’erbat ijiem.

The family: true resource of Europe – CCEE

06/10/2014
