Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

  The Parish Church of Saint Joseph, Manikata

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Imbierek il-bniedem li jittama fil-Mulej, u l-fiduċja tiegħu fil-Mulej” (Ġer 17:7). Dan hu li għadna kif smajna llum fl-Ewwel Qari mill-Profeta Ġeremija, u li tlabna wkoll flimkien fis-Salm: “Hieni l-bniedem li jqiegħed fil-Mulej it-tama tiegħu” (Salm 40:5). Dan hu li qed niċċelebraw illum, speċjalment f’din l-okkażjoni tal-ħamsin sena ta’ din il-Parroċċa tal-Manikata.
