Mass with the newly ordained priests

20/05/2025   The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mellieħa

Il-prinċep tad-dinja ġej. Il-prinċep tad-dinja jiġi kull darba li niftħulu l-bieb. Jipprova jidħol anki mill-ventilatur. Il-prinċep min hu? Il-prinċep tad-dinja huwa x-xitan, il-giddieb, il-qattiel.

Minn qaddejja ta’ Alla nistgħu nsiru qaddejja tax-xitan. Ġesù jgħid ċar u tond li huwa l-iben t’Alla, “kontra tiegħi xejn ma jista’ jagħmel”. Mhux se jisraq qalb Ġesù imma lilna jipprova jisirqilna qalbna.
