San Publiju,
Prinċep tal-gżira ta’ Malta u patrun tagħha,
agħtina il-grazzja li aħna nimitawk fil-qalb kbira u ġeneruża tiegħek,

“Dawn x’inhuma għal daqshekk nies?” Dan kien il-kliem li wieħed mid-dixxipli ta’ Ġesù, Indrì, qallu meta semmielu l-ħames ħobżiet u żewġ ħutiet li kellu t-tfajjel hemmhekk, biex jitma’ lil dawk l-eluf.
