Il-Kardinal Mario Grech, Segretarju Ġenerali tas-Sinodu tal-Isqfijiet, stieden lill-Knisja biex “tagħmel kull sforz biex tiżgura li t-tielet fażi tal-proċess sinodali ykun pass ’il quddiem fl-esperjenza u l-għarfien tas-sinodalità”.

It-tħeġġiġa ġejja minn nota ppubblikata għas-60 anniversarju mit-twaqqif tas-Sinodu.

F’ittra li kiteb, il-Kardinal Grech jgħid li l-Papa Franġisku jsejjaħ lis-sinodalità “t-triq ipprivileġġjata biex niksbu l-komunjoni fil-Knisja”.

Dawn is-sentimenti sabu eku wkoll fi Ljun XIV, li fl-Angelus tal-Ħadd li għadda tkellem dwar l-“intuwizzjoni profetika” ta’ San Pawlu VI meta ħoloq is-Sinodu tal-Isqfijiet fl-1965, hekk kif il-Konċilju Vatikan II kien qed joqrob lejn tmiemu… Read more »

Before this date, he had already sought properties in Floriana, Gżira and Ħal Lija, but lacked the means to purchase one.
