"Being a professor here is a wonderful assignment from our Lord". This was affirmed by the professor of Moral Theology and priest, Tomás Trigo, during the last class he gave on April 25, in which he was accompanied by students, professors and staff from the School of Theologyas well as colleagues and friends from other centers.

On this occasion, he changed the topic that he had prepared as the last lesson focused on "The notion of love sui in St. Thomas Aquinas", to remember some brushstrokes of his 29 years at the University.

The illusion showed on his face when he remembered so many colleagues and teachers who have accompanied him, such as José Luis Illanes, Pedro Rodríguez, José Morales or Teodoro López. As well as some of the anecdotes lived in the School and in Pamplona, among others with professors Augusto Sarmiento, César Izquierdo and Enrique Molina in their outings to the mountains. Or the visit of Cardinal Ratzinger, when he was invested honorary doctor, who gave the professors so much advice on how to do "good theology" and spoke to them a lot about the importance of studying the Fathers of the Church.

He expressed his satisfaction at having been able to form priests of so many nationalities who will later be spread throughout the world "giving reason for hope," and recalled three ideas that he has always tried to transmit to them: first, the foundation of Christian morality "which reminds us that God loves us madly, which is why he has made us in the image of Christ; therefore, the moral life consists in identifying ourselves with Christ"; second, that "we cannot depreciate reason because not everything is a question of faith, otherwise we would have a fideistic morality"; and third, that God, more than demanding, asks us for our love. "The morality that God gives us is based on love, not on obligation without rational foundation," he said.

He assures that from all these years he takes with him a greater knowledge of the Church, here and in other countries, but above all the teachings that teachers and students have transmitted to him: "that are not in books or on the Internet, but that teach you to be a better person".

In his message he also had words of gratitude for the board Directive of the School, for his colleagues of the academic staff and for the secretaries and staff of the University.

He assures that, except for finishing the course well, he still does not know what his plans will be from now on, and smiles when he says that priests never retire: "we are not afraid of unemployment".
