Transcript:

Yes, I was invited by your group of the blessed Ivan Metz to come to Croatia. Therefore, I wanted to know more about Ivan Metz. I was reading the materials that are accessible on the internet, and I was very much impressed by this figure of a young saint, a layman. This is very timely for our time. We have to have examples of lay people, laymen, who deeply loved Jesus Christ, the Catholic faith, and the liturgy.

Specifically, he was a specialist in liturgy and loved so much the beauty and the richness, the logical and liturgical richness of the traditional Mass because he grew up with it. We have to, I think, use more of his writings, which he left us, about the holy liturgy and about Christian life and holiness, of course, also. I also very much would like him would be canonized and put forward as an example, especially for young men who live in the world. We need this today.
