Alla jnebbaħ lil Pietru biex jagħraf li Ġesù hu l-Messija. “Imma intom min tgħidu li jien?” staqsiehom. Qabeż Xmun Pietru u qallu: “Inti l-Messija, Bin Alla l-ħaj” (Mt 16:15-16).
Dik kienet risposta tajba, il-konferma tal-identità ta’ Ġesù u Ġesù jilqa’ din l-istqarrija tal-fidi li mhix biss ta’ Pietru imma tal-Knisja wkoll… Read more »

“Tibżax, Marija, għax inti sibt grazzja quddiem Alla. Ara, inti se tnissel fil-ġuf u jkollok iben u ssemmih Ġesù. Hu jkun kbir, u jkun jissejjaħ Bin l-Għoli. Il-Mulej Alla jagħtih it-tron ta’ David missieru” (Lq 1:30-31).
