Hearty congratulations and thanks to Church and State for the wonderful order and excellent organisation we had during the papal visit to mark St Paul's shipwreck on our shores 1,950 years ago.

It was a visit that brought hope, peace and joy to the hearts of many. In the name of all those who join me, my thanks extend to all those who, in any way, contributed to making this a truly historical event.

It was a joy to see people from all walks of life join together and participate with such enthusiasm in both prayer and rejoicing.

The warm welcome given to the Holy Father by young and old was outstanding. The expression of wonder and elation on Pope Benedict's face was enough to realise it was a complete success.

May this message of love brought over to us by His Holiness kindle our faith in Christ. May Catholic Malta find new ways and means to witness this love in a secularised world.
