“Be Proud of Your Christian Vocation”
LUQA, Malta, APRIL 18, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Here is the address Benedict XVI delivered today at Malta’s International Airport before boarding a plane to return to Rome at the end of his 26-hour trip to Malta.
Mr President,
Your Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The time has come for me to bid farewell to Malta. I thank God for the opportunity to meet so many of you and to visit this beautiful island. I thank the President for his gracious words and I thank all of you who have given me such a warm and generous welcome. My journey has given me a deeper appreciation of how the Gospel preached by Saint Paul has shaped the spiritual identity of the Maltese people. As I leave you, let me encourage you once more to cultivate a deep awareness of your identity and to embrace the responsibilities that flow from it, especially by promoting the Gospel values that will grant you a clear vision of human dignity and the common origin and destiny of mankind.
