Cs. 3

“The Lord has blessed you

and will continue to bless you always.

He will guard you

like the pupil of his eyes

He will fill in you more and more

with His divine Spirit.

Young people, He will make you an instrument

to  prepare the healthy maxims of the Gospel.

I bless you

and  invoke  all those graces from the Trinity,

that lead you to holiness,

for you and for your young people.”
