Wieħed mis-sinjali ta’ San Tumas d’Aquino hija li fuq is-sider tiegħu jkun hemm qisha bħal xemx tiddi ħafna. Ħafna drabi l-qaddisin nagħrfuhom b’xi sinjal li f’kull, biex ngħidu hekk, rappreżentazzjoni tagħhom, ikun preżenti biex jiddistingwihom minn qaddis ieħor.

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
Today I would like to focus on the prayer we can do beginning with a Bible passage. The words of the Sacred Scripture were not written to remain imprisoned on papyrus, parchment, or paper, but to be received by a person who prays, making them blossom in his or her heart.
