08/12/2022   Paul VI Audience Hall, Rome

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

In the process of discernment, it is also important to remain attentive to the stage that immediately follows the decision taken, in order to either catch the signs that confirm it or those that disprove it.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dan l-isem jingħata għaliex hu beda dan ir-rit tal-magħmudija ta’ ndiema, u kellu wkoll il-missjoni li jinawgura l-ħidma ta’ Ġesù, meta Ġesù mar għandu biex jitgħammed fl-ilma tal-Ġordan.
