Benedict XVI "I extend a warm welcome to Italian-speaking pilgrims. In particular, I greet the participants from the UNIV international meeting, sponsored by the Prelature of Opus Dei. Dear friends, I hope these days in Rome are an opportunity to rediscover the person of Christ and to live a strong spiritual experience and so that you return home with the desire to witness the heavenly Father's mercy. In this way, throughout your life you will realize the desires of St. Josemaría Escrivá: 'How I wish your bearing and conversation were such that, on seeing or hearing you, people would say: This man reads the life of Jesus Christ.'"
