/ Gospel, Words of Wisdom

Fi żmien Ġesù, li xi ħadd ikun marid bil-lebbra, kien mwarrab u eskluż mis-soċjetà.  Issa wkoll Samaritan huwa persuna eskluża għaliex il-Lhud u s-Samaritani ma kienux jmorru tajjeb bejniethom.  Fl-istorja li għandna, dan ir-raġel kien eskluż doppjament, kemm bħala Samaritan u bħala lebbruż.

/ Gospel, Words of Wisdom

  Hija karba li llum għandha eku. Li nagħmlu mistosqijiet fuq il-fidi tagħna huwa eżerċizzju san. Il-fidi ma nistgħu npoġġuha fuq l-ixkaffa sakemm nużawha, għaliex imbagħad niskopru li saret dgħajfa u bla sens mill-użu tagħha u ma ssostniniex.
