L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Il-providenza taċ-ċirkustanzi fil-ħajja, li kull wieħed u kull waħda minna tatna missjoni fil-Knisja.

Għalkemm Korożajn ma tissemmiex ħlief hawn, imma Betsajda – il-kelma tfisser id-dar tas-sajd – kien il-post minn fejn ġew tlieta mill-appostli ta’ Ġesù: Filippu, Indri u Pietru… Read more »
