Evidentement qed jirreferi għad-dar ta’ Żakkew, dak ir-raġel qasir li kellu jitla’ fuq siġra, biex jara lil Ġesù, li kien magħruf bħala bniedem xħiħ, li mhux biss kien jieħu t-taxxi, imma  wkoll kull tant jieħu iżjed milli hemm bżonn… Read more »

B’rabta ma’ Nsara minn knejjes differenti, Mons. Hector Scerri sostna fuq l-importanza li dak li nistgħu nagħmlu flimkien, nagħmluh flimkien, kif ukoll li l-għaqda u l-ekumeniżmu ma jfissrux li nkunu kollha l-istess, imma li nersqu lejn xulxin – “Unità ma tfissirx uniformità.
