First Reading: Jeremiah 23:5-8
Psalm: 71 (72):2,12-13,18-19
Gospel: Matthew 1:18-24

Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly.

Nirringrazzja lilek, Eċċellenza President, talli komplejt din it-tradizzjoni tal-predeċessuri, tradizzjoni antika ta’ solidarjetà, f’idejn il-kapijiet tal-istat tagħna… Read more »
