Kemm hi ħaġa sabiħa li qed niċċelebraw din l-armonija bejn il-bniedem u l-ħlejqa. Il-klieb, bis-sensibbiltà, ix-xamm u l-preżenza tagħhom – kull min għandu kelb id-dar jifhem x’qed nipprova ngħid – mhux biss jgħallmuna imma wkoll jgħinuna.Jiena nibqa’ nammira kemm il-kelb iġib miegħu lealtà u fedeltà.

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Illum il-Knisja tiddedika din il-ġurnata b’mod speċjali għal dawk li huma morda, dgħajfa, anzjani u mġarrba. Mhux biex tħares lejhom mill-bogħod, imma biex tkun qrib, biex tisma’, biex tmiss it-tbatija tagħhom, u tkun magħhom. Dan hu l-ispirtu tal-Jum Dinji tal-Morda.

Meta qed ngħidu “tarf il-mantar”, din kellha sinifikat ukoll fit-Testment il-Qadim… Read more »
