3. Blessed Redeemer, Saints Peter and Paul were leaders and models in strengthening the faith of the infant Church, and I ask them to pray for my faith to grow strong. Saint Paul wrote in his second letter to Saint Timothy, “I remind you to stir into flame the gift of God that you have.” Wherever I am still a baby in my relationship with You, weak and uncertain, I ask Saints Peter and Paul to pray for me to grow into spiritual maturity. Help me, O Lord, to increase in faith and trust. Where Your presence is but a spark in me, fan it into a flame that brightens other people’s lives. Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us. Amen.

In 1962 Penguin Books published The Dead Sea Scrolls in translation. To everyone's dismay this image of the scrolls was printed on the book cover upside down. I wonder how many people would have noticed this today? 🧐😎

Our May 13th LOGOS event on Mental Health in a Fast-Paced World, enjoyed a great turn out of people who together with special guests Prof. Anton Grech & Dr. Monique de Brincat contributed to a very insightful discussion of ideas and personal experiences resonating a hopeful perspective on how we as a society can support each other to ensure that the people we love and meet in our daily lives can find support in an ever changing world. The discussion touched all of us and left a hopeful perspective on how we all can make a difference. A beautiful poem, gentle music and a fine discussion made this evening truly memorable.🌟🌷🌲🧐
We are very grateful to everyone who had a chance to attend this night's event and look forward to more occasions such as this.

🕯️ In Memoriam: Dr Anthony Spiteri

The Faculty of Theology mourns the passing of Dr Anthony Spiteri, who served for over twenty-five years, from 1993 onwards, as a lecturer in . He also served as Director of the International Institute of Social Sciences and of the Euro-Mediterranean Society of Social Sciences.

Dr Spiteri was a member of several academic associations, including the American Catholic Philosophical Association, the Canadian Society of Christian Philosophers, the Canadian Philosophical Association, the American Philosophical Association, and the Australasian Association of Philosophy.

Many of us who are now academics remember him with deep affection as our lecturer. We recall his gentle spirit, his generosity in sharing his vast knowledge, and his attentive care for his students. His ever-present smile reflected kindness and humanity; his teaching was generous, and his presence humble and soft-spoken.

Dr Spiteri was a true scholar of social and political thought, formed in the Hegelian tradition, yet always deeply human and attentive to the most vulnerable: the refugee, the migrant, the poor, and the sick. Already decades ago, he showed a keen interest in Mediterranean dialogue. A man of faith, he cherished both God and his students, and remained deeply committed to the relationship between faith and reason.

Four years ago, he generously donated his substantial personal library to the Theology Library run by the Seminary and the Foundation for Theological Studies, housed at the Archbishop’s Seminary at Tal-Virtù, Rabat. 🙏
