Illum ippermettuli nibda mill-aħħar, mill-mistoqsija li Ġesù għamel lil kull wieħed u waħda minna. Fil-fatt sejjaħ lin-nies flimkien mad-dixxipli tiegħu u għamel appell lill-umanità kollha, anke lil dawk li ma kinux qegħdin isegwu: “X’jiswielu l-bniedem jekk jikseb id-dinja kollha mbagħad jitlef ħajtu?” (Mk 8:36) Donnu Ġesù qed jagħmel differenza bejn il-ġid ta’ din id-dinja — li tikseb id-dinja kollha — u ħajtek… Read more »
