L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Bdejna jiem tassew għeżież li fihom fil-quddiesa l-Knisja ssemmgħalna l-profeziji ta’ Iżaija dwar il-qaddej tal-Mulej, il-qaddej li jsofri, li jġorr it-tbatijiet tal-poplu u għalhekk issir ġustizzja għall-ġnus. “Araw il-qaddej tiegħi li jiena nwieżen, il-maħtur tiegħi li fih qalbi strieħet” (Iż 42:1).
