L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dan il-jum fir-Randan, li hu jum partikolari, il-Ġimgħa fir-Randan, il-Kelma ta’ Alla tippreparana għall-misteru l-kbir tal-Ġimgħa l-Kbira. Il-parabbola li jagħti Ġesù llum, titkellem fuq l-iben li jintbagħat mis-sultan, biex iħajjar lill-bdiewa jimxu sew u jagħmlu l-ġustizzja. “Fl-aħħar bagħatilhom lil ibnu. ‘Minn ibni jistħu’, qal. Iżda kif raw lil ibnu l-bdiewa bdew jgħidu bejniethom, ‘Ara l-werriet! Ejjew noqtluh, biex il-wirt tiegħu niħduh aħna’… Read more »
