And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

Fl-Evanġelju li smajna llum, Ġesù juża din it-tixbiha: meta tkun għadek fit-triq ma’ min jixtieq itellgħek il-qorti —jew ma’ min għandu għalxiex itellgħek il-qorti— tkunu qegħdin f’mixja flimkien, sinodali… Read more »
