Dear volunteers of the Order of Malta,
I wanted to express my appreciation and that of the Sovereign Council to all the Order’s members, volunteers, doctors and paramedics who, under our white octagonal cross, have offered solidarity and comfort with even that simplest of gestures: an outstretched hand.
In your eyes I can see the dedication and love with which thousands of members and volunteers in our Grand Priories, National Associations, delegations and Order of Malta’s relief corps worldwide have brought aid and assistance to the sick, to their families, to the isolated elderly, to the poor and to the marginalized.
