“This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how” (Mk. 4:26-27).
“With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all” (Acts 4:33).

Jekk tieħu f’idejk il-ktieb “Ngħixu l-Kelma” tiskopri li l-Kelma hi għajn ta’ barka, is-sewwa il-fidi, timla bit-tama, tkattar il-ferħ (…). Kif jgħid Papa Franġisku: “Il-Kelma turina min hu Alla, li għanda l-bniedem, tinfed ir-ruħ tagħna, tfarraġna u fl-istess ħin tqanqalna biex naġixxu u nersqu lejn il-ġrieħ tal-umanita’.
