Christian Woman,
You cannot reform society without you.
We will not reform society by laws but by your virtues.
Then the laws will come.

Christian Woman,
as Priests, you have received the vocation
You are the salt of the earth.
If the salt of the earth weakens,
what could we salt it with?

Oh Woman,
How great is your Mission!
May your heart be pure as that of Mary,
pure and uninterested in the affairs of the world.
Egotism does not suit you.
May your vestment be modest as that of Mary,
only then you will be beautiful like her.

May your gathering be sanctifying
as the ones of Mary
And then you shall be the source of our joy
like her,
and men will be better,
life will be softer -
even the laws shall become just and protected
because of you, Woman.
