Mass on the feast of the Conversion of St Paul

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Kemm hu sabiħ ir-rakkont li jagħtina Luqa fil-Ktieb tal-Atti tal-Appostli, fejn jirrakkonta l-konverżjoni tal-Appostlu Missierna! Fil-fatt fl-istess ktieb, dan ir-rakkont tant hu importanti li nsibuh repetut darbtejn oħra. Dan ir-rakkont li smajna llum fil-bidu ta’ din il-quddiesa, hu r-rakkont li jagħti Luqa, narrattiva ta’ x’ġara. Imma hu l-Appostlu Missierna stess li jirrepeti din l-esperjenza darbtejn oħra.

X’għandi nagħmel, Mulej? … Read more »
