“Mimlija bil-grazzja” (Lq 1:28). Dan huwa l-kliem li l-anġlu Gabriel qal lil Marija, kif rajna fl-Evanġelju skont San Luqa, u huwa kliem li ngħidulha fit-talba “Sliem għalik Marija, bil-grazzja mimlija”. Huwa kliem speċjali għax huwa l-uniku post fl-Evanġelju fejn hi użata din l-espressjoni. Ħadd ħlief Marija ma jissejjaħ “mimlija bil-grazzja”.

Huwa proprju dan li qed niċċelebraw illum fis-Solennità ta’ Marija mmnissla mingħajr dnub – l-Immakulata Kunċizzjoni – u meta aħna nħarsu lejn Marija “mimlija bil-grazzja”, naraw fiha din l-opra kbira li Alla għamel… Read more »
