L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Agħtini nixrob” (Ġw 4:7). Dawn kienu ż-żewġ kelmiet li qal Ġesù lill-mara samaritana meta ltaqa’ magħha fejn il-bir ta’ Ġakobb. Kienet talba li għamel lilha Ġesù, u minn hemm beda djalogu bejnu u bejn il-mara li ġab bidla sħiħa fil-ħajja tal-mara u ta’ ħafna oħrajn.
Qatt ma basret ma’ min se tiltaqa’
Ħa nħarsu l-ewwel lejn din il-mara samaritana… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
