In English:
"And so, today, with great strength and great conviction, on the basis of long personal experience of life, I say to you, dear young people: Do not be afraid of Christ! He takes nothing away, and he gives you everything. When we give ourselves to him, we receive a hundredfold in return. Yes, open, open wide the doors to Christ – and you will find true life. Amen."

In Italian:
"Cosė, oggi, io vorrei, con grande forza e grande convinzione, a partire dall’esperienza di una lunga vita personale, dire a voi, cari giovani: non abbiate paura di Cristo! Egli non toglie nulla, e dona tutto. Chi si dona a lui, riceve il centuplo. Sė, aprite, spalancate le porte a Cristo – e troverete la vera vita. Amen."
