Salt of the earth and Light of the world – Bishop Galea-Curmi

06/02/2023   Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Intom il-melħ tal-art…Intom id-dawl tad-dinja” (Mt 5:13.14). Dawn iż-żewġ affarijiet li jsemmi Ġesù nindunaw mal-ewwel li huma affarijiet li aħna lkoll nafu bihom.
