L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
Dan is-salib li nilbes jesprimi b’mod sabiħ ħafna l-Evanġelju li għadna kif smajna. Hawnhekk hawn Kristu msallab, u madwaru hawn il-kliem – li qiegħed bil-Franċiż għax dan oriġina Franza – “Kulma għamiltu ma’ wieħed mill-iżgħar fost dawn ħuti, għamiltuh miegħi” (Mt 25:40).
