«Beloved children, young people of the Lord,

On this day, I come to you carrying in my hands the lily of purity.

This lily, my children, is a precious gift that God wishes to plant in your hearts. Nurture it with care. Do not allow the world to destroy it. Water it with prayer, with good choices, with a life turned toward God, and you will see beautiful seeds sprout in your souls.

I ask you, on this day: seek peace. Pray for peace—peace in your hearts, peace in your families, peace in the world.

Beloved young people, the world offers you many paths, but not all lead to life.

Many paths lead to sadness, to addictions, to emptiness, and to the loss of the soul.

I tell you as a father:

  • Do not let yourselves be deceived. God has a plan for each one of you. A plan of love, of light, of purpose.

But to discover it, you must turn to God; you must pray; you must quiet your heart and listen to His voice.

Flee from sin; turn away from the vices that imprison the soul and steal your freedom. You were created to be free in God, not slaves to the world.

Seek prayer:

  • In prayer you will find strength.
  • In prayer you will find guidance.
  • In prayer you will find true joy—and do not walk alone.

Children, turn to your families:

  • Talk with your parents; pray with them. A family that prays together remains steadfast and finds peace.

That is why I ask you:

  • Pray the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In Her you will find consolation, protection, and the sure path that leads you to Jesus.

Santo Rosario

Look also to the examples of the young saints.

Remember Carlo Acutis [1], who lived in your time and chose God above all else.

Follow the example of Dominic Savio [2], who sought holiness in joy.

Be inspired by Louis Gonzaga [3], who preserved his purity with love.

And also by Geraldo Majella [4], who lived in simplicity and trust in God.

They were young people just like you:

  • They, too, had choices to make.
  • They, too, faced challenges

And they chose God. You, too, can choose.

(Bow your head to receive the blessing of Saint Joseph)

On this day, I bestow a special blessing upon you, recalling the grace granted in this shrine. Just as on that day, August 23, 2000, I remain present, watching over you, guiding you, and interceding for you. Receive this grace (make the sign + of the cross).

Embrace this call and do not be afraid to belong to God.

I, Joseph, watch over you, protect you, and lead you.

Remain in peace.

I am Joseph, the carpenter».

  1. St. Carlo Acutis (born May 3, 1991, London, England—died October 12, 2006, Monza, Italy; beatified October 10, 2020; canonized September 7, 2025; feast day October 12) was an English-born Italian computer programmer who became widely venerated as “the first millennial saint.” Only 15 years old when he died of leukemia, his beatification in 2020 by Pope Francis and his interest in using digital communication to teach others led to Acutis being popularly dubbed “the patron saint of the Internet.” He was canonized by Pope Leo XIV on September 7, 2025.
  2. St. Dominic Savio was a 19th-century Italian teenager who was a student of John Bosco and became a Catholic saint. He was studying to be a priest when he became ill and died at the age of 14, possibly from pleurisy. He was noted for his piety and devotion to the Catholic faith, and was canonized a saint by Pope Pius XII in 1954. Bosco regarded Savio very highly, and wrote a biography of his young student: “The Life of Dominic Savio”.
  3. St. Aloysius Gonzaga (born March 9, 1568, Castiglione delle Stiviere, Republic of Venice [Italy]—died June 21, 1591, Rome; canonized 1726; feast day June 21) was an Italian Jesuit who is venerated as a patron saint of Roman Catholic youth. He is also a patron of students and people with AIDS and their caregivers.
  4. St. Gerard Majella was an Italian lay brother of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, better known as the Redemptorists, who is honored as a saint by the Catholic Church. His intercession within the Catholic Church is for children, unborn children, women in childbirth, mothers, expectant mothers, motherhood, the falsely accused, good confessions, lay brothers.
