30/01/2026   The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa, Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Hi l-iċken fost iż-żrieragħ kollha” (Mk 4:31). Dan huwa li jgħid Ġesù llum fl-Evanġelju skont San Mark, meta qed jitkellem fuq iż-żerriegħa tal-mustarda. U hawnhekk, għal darbtejn, Ġesù jqabbel is-Saltna ta’ Alla ma’ żerriegħa.

Opening Speech during the launch of the 'Ethical Adoption of AI: The Position of the Archdiocese of Malta'

Ritratt: Ian Noel Pace – Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta Messaġġ tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Mons Joseph Galea-Curmi
