Transcript of the full video (below): I want all of you to be happy, and I ask this of our Lord with all my soul. But if you want to be happy, you have to be ready to follow our Lord, following in his footsteps. He didn't hesitate in following the path, one which was tough, requiring strength and resistance. So you have to make it your goal to work and to sanctify your work.

In this way, you will be capable of keeping a home, if this is the path God has in store for you. You will face all the things this world holds, and not all of them are pleasant; those things which are not pleasant are transformed into something pleasant through your good humor.

Your duties as a Christian can be summed up in being loyal. He who does not keep up his struggle - a struggle against himself - is not a loyal person. Wherever it may be: high, low, to the right, to the left... anywhere! If you don't struggle, you will not be loyal. So you should resolve to be loyal, to take life seriously. Students, by studying; and those who work, in working. And to work hard, without pulling back! With perseverance!

I see you, and I think, "the world needs people like you," in your environment, in your work, in your family, in the place where your life is unfolding, in your place of rest or amusement, may you be a man of integrity, strong, amiable and Christian. So I expect all of this from you.
