He who comes from above is above all others; he who is of the earth is earthly himself and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven bears witness to the things he has seen and heard, but his testimony is not accepted by anybody; though anyone who does accept his testimony is attesting that God is true, since he whom God has sent speaks God’s own words, for God gives him the Spirit without reserve. The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything to his hands. Anyone who believes in the Son has eternal life, but anyone who refuses to believe in the Son will never see life: God’s retribution hangs over him.’
The Saint of the day: St Gemma Calgani
“Dak li hu ġej minn fuq hu fuq kulħadd; min hu mill-art hu ta’ l-art u jgħid ħwejjeġ ta’ l-art; dak li hu ġej mis-sema hu fuq kulħadd u jixhed dak li ra u sama’; imma x-xhieda tiegħu ħadd ma jilqagħha Min ikun laqa’ x-xhieda tiegħu jkun wettaq li Alla hu l-verità. Għax dak li bagħtu Alla jgħid il-kliem ta’ Alla, għax Alla ma jagħtix l-Ispirtu bil-kejl. Il-Missier iħobb lill-Iben, u ħalla kollox f’idejh. Min jemmen fl-Iben għandu l-ħajja ta’dejjem; iżda min ma joqgħodx għall-Iben ma jarax il-ħajja, imma tibqa’ fuqu l-korla ta’ Alla.”
