Din is-sena l-Papa Franġisku xtaq li għall-Jum il-Missjoni, aħna naħsbu f’dan is-suġġett, f’din it-tema sabiħa ħafna li tkunu ‘xhieda tiegħi’ (Atti 1:8). Jiena qed naħseb fil-missjunarji Maltin u Għawdxin madwar id-dinja li huma dawk li jwasslu l-istil tal-Evanġelju, li huma qrib il-poplu, li għandhom qalb ta’ tenerezza u ta’ kompassjoni għall-Poplu t’Alla fejn qegħdin, jirrappreżentaw ukoll l-imħabba tagħna.

Imbagħad jgħidilhom: “Għala ma tiġġudikawx intom stess x’inhu s-sewwa?”
Din hija mistoqsija importanti. Tfakkarna li Ġesù dil-kelma użaha darb’oħra… Read more »

Every important activity has its “instructions” to follow, which must be known in order for them to produce the necessary effects… Read more »
