Illum huwa jum ta’ ringrazzjament, ta’ ferħ u ta’ tama. Niċċelebraw il-gradwazzjoni ta’ sitt persuni fit-tmiem ta’ programm impenjattiv ta’ riabilitazzjoni. Il-mixja tagħhom ma kinitx waħda faċli.

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.

Treating others as God treats us – Bishop Galea‑Curmi

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Qegħdin fi żmien li mhux daqshekk diffiċli li nifhmu dak li kien hemm fit-Testment il-Qadim: “Għajn b’għajn u sinna b’sinna” (Mt 5:38). Kultant meta tismagħha, tieħu l-impressjoni li int għandek tivvendika ruħek, imma meta din daħlet fit-Testment il-Qadim, ma daħlitx biex tħeġġeġ lin-nies jivvendikaw ruħhom, imma daħlet bħala restrizzjoni. Fil-fatt, insibu fil-ktieb tal-Eżodu: “int tħallas ħajja b’ħajja, għajn b’għajn, sinna b’sinna, id b’id, riġel b’riġel, dabra b’dabra, ġerħa b’ġerħa, tbenġila bi tbenġila” (Eżodu 21:23-26)… Read more »
