Before concluding this celebration, I affectionately greet all of you who have participated, and also those following it through the media.

I thank the cardinals and bishops present, and all the representatives of ecclesial movements, associations and new communities.  Dear sisters and brothers, with the strength of the Holy Spirit, set out renewed by your Jubilee.  Go and bring the hope of the Lord Jesus to everyone!

In Italy, and in other countries, the school year is drawing to a close.  I would like to greet young people and all students and their teachers, especially the students taking exams at the end of their studies in the coming days.

Now, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, let us ask from the Holy Spirit the gift of peace.  First of all, peace in our hearts, for only a peaceful heart can spread peace in the family, society and international relations.  May the Spirit of the risen Christ open paths of reconciliation wherever there is war; may he enlighten those who govern and give them the courage to make gestures of de-escalation and dialogue.
