L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

L-espressjoni li Ġesù juża fis-silta li għadna kemm smajna, u li l-Knisja tagħżel fil-festa tal-Arkanġli, “Għad taraw is-sema miftuħ u l-anġli ta’ Alla telgħin u neżlin fuq Bin il-bniedem” (Ġw 1:51), din l-espressjoni li fiha Ġesù jsemmi l-anġli ta’ Alla, tfisser ukoll il-glorja ta’ Alla. “Tassew tassew ngħidilkom, għad taraw il-glorja ta’ Alla, is-sema miftuħ u l-anġli ta’ Alla telgħin u neżlin fuq Bin il-bniedem” (Ġw 1:51)… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
