“Għamilna biss dak li kellna nagħmlu” (Lq 17:10). X’qed jipprova jgħallimna Ġesù, meta jgħidilna, intom qaddejja, dan hu li għandu jiddistingwikom. It-titlu li għandkom tippreferu, huwa li intom issejħu lilkom infuskom qaddejja. Faċli tgħidha, imma mhux daqshekk faċli tgħixha.

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“L-għerf hu spirtu li jagħmel il-ġid” (Ktieb tal-Għerf 1:6). Din is-sentenza mill-Ktieb tal-Għerf tiġbor dak li nixtieq nawguralkom, għeżież studenti li qed tiċċelebraw Jum il-Gradwazzjoni tagħkom.
