Il-messaġġ tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

L-ewwel nett nixtieq nirringrazzja lil kulħadd tal-preżenza tagħkom u b’mod speċjali wkoll insellem lil dawk li qed isegwuna b’mod diġitali jew virtwali fuq iż-Zoom.

Il-fatt li tilqa’ ma jfissirx li tieqaf tisma’… Read more »

Aħna l-qari tal-10 ta’ Frar, ovvjament naqrawh kollu u nieħdu pjaċir nisimgħu li “meta ħlisna mill-għarqa, sirna nafu li l-gżira kien jisimha Malta” (Atti 28:1)… Read more »
