“Nisel ħażin huwa dan in-nisel! Irid sinjal!” (Lq 11: 29) Dan hu l-ilment li għamel Ġesù fuq diversi nies, u li naqraw illum fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa. U Ġesù jgħid: “Ebda sinjal ma jingħatalu ħlief is-sinjal ta’ Ġona” (Lq 11:29).
Għaliex Ġesù ħadha daqshekk bi kbira li kien hemm diversi nies li riedu sinjal? Għax, fil-fatt, dawn in-nies kienu raw diversi sinjali… Read more »
