Small acts, great good – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

04/08/2025   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Hawn ma għandniex ħlief ħames ħobżiet u żewġ ħutiet” (Mt 14:17). Din hi r-risposta tad-dixxipli lil Ġesù, meta hu talabhom jagħtu lin-nies x’jieklu.

Imma f’dil-ġrajja l-importanti mhux li nieqfu biss fuq il-miraklu bħala xi ħaġa ta’ stagħġib, imma li naraw il-mod kif Ġesù jagħmel dan il-miraklu – għax għandu ħafna x’jgħallimna… Read more »
