Michael Bonnici writes:
Thinking with a human mind, I consider that, when the soul of my friend John Cutajar expired last on August 27 and reached the throne of God, he obtained an exceptional distinctive grade from the Lord’s judgement within the framework of the eight Beatitudes. He was welcomed in the arms of his Creator with the heavenly words: “Rejoice and be exceedingly glad for great is your reward in heaven” (Matthew 5:12).
Incidentally, his passing away was timed by the Gospel theme of the 22nd Sunday of the Catholic Church calendar on the subject of ‘humbleness’, which was part of his character and considered a special virtue within his Christian belief.
At an early stage of his life he joined the civil service as a working life-time career with an exceptional fidelity service, loyalty, rectitude, punctuality, honesty, exemplary and meticulous attention throughout his various duties of a long public service commitment.
Immediately after his retirement, he devoted much of his time within the Żebbuġ parish and the various civil societies, putting his vast experience within the civil service while enjoying the blind trust of his fellow parishioners.
For a very long time...
