ARCHBISHOP’S MESSAGE ON THE DAY OF LIFE

Illum id-dinja tiċċelebra Jum il-Ħajja. Huwa l-Jum li fih nifirħu bil-Ħajja fiha nfisha. Min jemmen jirringjrazzja wkoll għax jara fil-Ħajja, don ta’ Alla, u għalhekk jagħraf  valur iktar profond, għaliex  magħqud ma’ Alla u ġej minn Alla. Huwa ċar li dan ifisser, li l-ebda bniedem u b’mod speċjali ml-ebda nisrani li jemmen, ma jista’ jkun favur xi ħaġa li tillimita jew toqtol dan id-don.

Naħseb li dan il-Jum irid jagħti ċ-ċans lil kull persuna, biex tagħraf x’inhi r-relazzjoni u l-valur li hu jagħti lill-Ħajja tiegħu u tal-oħrajn… Read more »
