L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Żgur li kull min kien preżenti għal din il-ġrajja li jirrakkonta San Mark fl-Evanġelju tiegħu baqa’ mbellah b’dak li ra. Kien hemm dawk in-nies kollha, ġewwa u barra; imbagħad ħin minnhom fetħu s-saqaf u mit-toqba rawhom iniżżlu lill-mifluġ quddiem Ġesù. Naħseb qam għagħa sħiħ. Kienet ġurnata li żgur ma jinsewx! Speċjalment imbagħad meta dak ir-raġel li niżżluh hekk, ħareġ ’il barra mill-bieb jimxi… Read more »

Xi jrid jgħidilna b’din l-għażla li jpoġġi l-fejqan tal-lebbruż propju fil-bidu tal-Evanġelju tiegħu? … Read more »
