Pod jeho vedením se církev připravovala na třetí tisíciletí a skrze různé iniciativy podporoval duchovní obnovu a příklady svatosti pro současný svět.

Quand arriva " son heure ", Jésus dit à ceux qui étaient avec lui au jardin de Gethsémani, Pierre, Jacques et Jean, les disciples particulièrement aimés: " Levez-vous ! Allons ! " Il n'était pas le seul à devoir " aller " vers l'accomplissement de la volonté du Père: eux aussi devaient y aller avec Lui. Je parle de cela du lieu où l'amour du Christ Sauveur m'a conduit, me demandant de sortir de ma terre pour porter du fruit ailleurs, avec Sa grâce, un fruit appelé à demeurer. Faisant écho aux paroles de notre Maître et Seigneur, je redis donc, moi aussi, à chacun de vous, très chers Frères dans l'Episcopat: " Levez-vous ! Allons ! " Allons en nous fiant au Christ. Lui nous accompagnera sur le chemin, jusqu'au but que Lui seul connaît.
