Dawn id-direttivi, li jidħlu fis-seħħ fl-1 ta’ Lulju u japplikaw biss għal din is-sena, jispjegaw b’mod dettaljat dak li kien tħabbar mill-Isqfijiet fiċ-ċirkulari tal-24 ta’ Marzu li għadda u li issa jista’ jiġi attwat.

Today’s passage is part of the missionary discourse, with which the Teacher prepares the Apostles for their first experience of proclaiming the Kingdom of God… Read more »
