Mary, image of the Church, the Bride without spot or wrinkle, which by imitating you "preserves with virginal purity an integral faith, a firm hope and a sincere charity",sustain consecrated persons on their journey towards the sole and eternal Blessedness.

To you, Virgin of the Visitation, do we entrust them, that they may go forth to meet human needs, to bring help, but above all to bring Jesus. Teach them to proclaim the mighty things which the Lord accomplishes in the world, that all peoples may extol the greatness of his name. Support them in their work for the poor, the hungry, those without hope, the little ones and all who seek your Son with a sincere heart.……

Given in Rome, at Saint Peter's, on 25 March, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, in the year 1996, the eighteenth of my Pontificate.

聖母，教會的典型，毫無瑕疵與皺紋的新娘；教會效法妳，「忠貞地保持完整的信仰、堅固的希望與誠摯的愛情。」 (註二六三) 請支持獻身者走完唯一的、永恆的幸福之旅。

我們將獻身者託付給妳，這位「訪親」的貞女；使他們能夠迎接人類的需求，給與援助，而最重要的是帶來耶穌。請教導獻身者宣報主在世上所完成的偉業，讓普世眾人頌揚祂的美名。獻身者在為貧窮人服務、為飢餓者、沒有希望者、弱小者以及誠心尋找妳兒子的人服務時，請妳支持他們。……

一九九六，任教宗職第十八年，三月廿五日，預報救主降生節，若望保祿二世頒發於羅馬聖伯鐸大殿。
