Mt 21:33-43).  He is the Son of God sent into the world, yet he is rejected by the very people who should have welcomed him with open arms.  The One who came to bring salvation is condemned; the One who wishes to give life is put to death… Read more »

Ġesù jsemmi fl-Evanġelju anke l-anġli tat-tfal iż-żgħar (ara Mt 18:10). U għalhekk tajjeb li llum naraw: x’funzjoni għandhom dawn l-anġli? … Read more »
