L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

Homily by Archbishop Charles Jude Scicluna
One of the first images I would like to share with you today, inspired by this beautiful reading from Chapter 14 of the Gospel of John, is that of a lover.

He talks about keeping his commandments but he grounds what he says and what he expects from each one of us on love, not fear but love… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi
