| Abstract: | Carmelus Scicluna Dei et S. Sedis Apostolicae Gratia Electus Archiep. Rhodi Episcopus Melitae Eidem S. Sedi Immediate Subjectus etc etc etc Venerabilibus fratribus, et dilectis filiis, capitulo, clero, et universo populo melitensi salutem in domino sempiternam. Onus angelicis humeris formidandum quum numquam quaesivissem, neque infirmitati meae unquam imponendum cogitassem: vix primum de voluntate Sanctissimi Domini ad hanc sedem me evehere statuentis nuncium mihi allatum est, quin obstupescerem tantamque novitatem horrescerem, facere non potui. Tunc enim statim animo mihi obversatum est, quot qualesque dotes in pastore animarum requirantur, qualis sollicitudo et vigilantia in Episcopo exigatur, quamque de animabus sibi commissis rationem quilibet Ecclesiae praepositus supremo sit Judici redditurus. Meque haud levis timor incessit, ne qui privatus eurisque solutus viam salutis agilis currere potuissem, gravi animarum pondere onustus, futuram mei sortem in discrimen adducerem. Qua cogitationum mole pressus, jam onus refugere, animarumque sollicitudinem jam declinare statueram. |
