    L-ewwel nett nixtieq niringrazzja lil Fr John li qralna l-Kelma ta’ Ġesù, l-Evanġelju, u lil sħabkom talli qrawlna l-Kelma ta’ Alla. Fl-Ewwel Qari li smajna kien hemm sentenza li fakkritni f’dak li qegħdin nagħmlu llum għaliex il-Ktieb ta’ Bin Sirak jgħid hekk: “It-tifkira tiegħu jxandruha l-ġnus u t-tifħir tiegħu ħabbru l-ġemgħa”…
