MESSAGE OF THE GRAND MASTER AND HEAD OF THE STATE
ON THE OCCASION OF THE CELEBRATIONS OF THE DAY OF SAINT JOHN OF JERUSALEM,
THE TRUE PATRON OF OUR SOVEREIGN ORDER AND STATE
AND THE NATIONAL DAY OF OUR STATE
Dear Dames and Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem, also said Knights and Dames of Malta,
Every year on this day - the 23rd day of the month of January - we celebrate the Day of Saint John of Jerusalem, the true Patron of our Sovereign Order, therefore we also celebrate the National Day of Our State. On this occasion, in my personal name and on behalf of the KMFAP leadership, I want to salute all of our Dames, Knights, Damsels and Squires and reassure that we are honoured and proud to have you all as members of our Order and citizens of our State.
Personally, I am also honoured and proud to continue deserving your trust, confidence and friendship in our Crusade for Peace, Understanding, Equality, Respect for all Human Beings and their choices, for Animals and for the Nature, a real 21st Century Crusade in favour of all of those who are ill, who are in need or deprived from Freedom and Human Rights.
For this Crusade we need each and everyone of you and the commitment of all, because it is a Peaceful crusade in favour of Positive objectives and basic Human Principles.
Attached to this message I send you a short Biography of our TRUE AND ONLY Patron, Saint John of Jerusalem, also known as Saint John the Almsgiver, who dedicated his life to help and assist those in need.
We count on you.
Yours in Saint John,
His Most Eminent Highness Jose, Prince
Grand Master and Head of the State
