L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dawn il-Ħdud ta’ din is-sena, matul is-sena qed naqraw l-Evanġelju ta’ San Luqa. San Luqa huwa ħabib tagħna l-Maltin u l-Għawdxin għaliex fiż-żewġ kotba li kiteb, l-Evanġelju u l-Atti tal-Appostli, isemmina kif isemmi wkoll ir-rakkont tal-miġja ta’ San Pawl fostna.

Grati ħafna lejn dan l-Evanġelista li kien tabib, Luqa, li wkoll hu evanġelista missjunarju. Fl-Evanġelju u fl-Atti tal-Appostli, San Luqa jagħtina riflessjoni dwar il-missjoni ta’ min jieħu sehem dak kollu li ġabilna Ġesù… Read more »
