here is what I would like to say to the children: you all know that Christ had a beloved disciple, John. this John lived a long time and, in his old age, when he could hardly move and hardly speak, he said the same few words to everyone he saw. He said: children, love one another. I am also old, and if you expect me to tell you something, I cannot tell you anything from myself, but I will only repeat what John said: children, love one another. It cannot be said better than that, because in these words there is everything that people need. If men would put these words into practice, if they would endeavor to rid themselves of all that is opposed to love, of strife, envy, reproach, condemnation, and other evil feelings towards their brethren, they would all live well and in joy. And all this is not impossible to do, not even difficult, but easy. If people did that, everyone would be fine. Sooner or later, people will get here. Let's learn from now on, each a little bit.

"lată ce aș vrea să le spun copiilor: știți cu toții că Hristos a avut un ucenic iubit, loan. loan acesta a trait mult și, la adânci bătrâneți, când abia se mișca și abia mai vorbea, le spunea tuturor celor pe care îi vedea aceleași câteva cuvinte. El spunea: copii, iubiți-vă unii pe alții. Și eu sunt bătrân, iar dacă așteptați să vă spun ceva, nu vă pot spune nimic de la mine, ci voi repeta doar ce-a spus loan: copii, iubiți-vă unii pe alții. Mai bine decât atât nu se poate spune, pentru că în aceste cuvinte se afla tot ce le trebuie oamenilor. Dacă oamenii ar pune în aplicare aceste cuvinte, dacă s-ar strădui să se dezvețe de tot ce se opune iubirii, de certuri, invidie, ocări, condamnări și alte sentimente rele față de frații lor, cu toții ar trăi bine și în bucurie. Iar toate astea nu sunt imposibil de înfăptuit, nici măcar greu, ci lesne. Dacă așa ar face oamenii, tuturor le-ar fi bine. Mai devreme sau mai târziu, oamenii vor ajunge aici. Haideți să învățăm de pe-acum, fiecare cate puțin."
