    It-tbatija tal-innoċenti, b’mod speċjali meta narawha fit-tfal, f’dawk li m’għamlu ħsara lil ħadd, tqanqal mistoqijiet kbar…

  • Saint Mark 7:1-13 

    When the Pharisees with some scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus, they observed that some of his disciples ate their meals with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.
