Homily of Pope Leo XIV

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Għadna kemm ilqajna lil dawn iż-żgħażagħ li qed juru d-disponibbiltà tagħhom biex ikunu istitwiti, magħżula għall-ministeru tal-Lettorat, jiġifieri dawk l-persuni li fil-miġemgħa tagħna jħabbru l-Kelma t’Alla. Hemm vers sabiħ li jgħaqqad dak li se nagħmlu minn hawn u ftit ieħor, mal-festa sabiħa li qed niċċelebraw illum. Fis-salm hemm miktub: “musbieħ għal riġlejja l-Kelma tiegħek” (Salm 119:105).
