Il-laqgħa ta’ Pawlu ma’ Ġesù fit-triq ta’ Damasku hi f’mument ta’ dawl qawwi, qrib nofsinhar, meta fid-deżert ix-xemx tiżreġ.

Għandu bżonn l-għajnuna ta’ sħabu, kif qrajna fit-tieni qari llum, f’rakkont li żgur tafuh tajjeb, intom il-membri tal-parroċċa ta’ Ħal Safi. Kellu bżonn l-għajnuna ta’ sħabu biex jobdi l-Kelma ta’ Ġesù, li tistiednu jmur Damasku… Read more »
