Arrigo Miglio, president of the Bishops Commission for Social Problems and Labour, who at the start of the celebration gave Pope "Joseph Ratzinger" his best wishes for his name day. "At the same time continued Benedict XVI in his sermon it is essential that men do not become slaves to work, that they do not worship it, demanding to find in it the ultimate and final meaning of life". In this respect, the Pope urged to live the day of rest, which "enables men he said to recall and relive God’s work" and "render thanks for their lives". The sermon was closed by an appeal to the young "who have problems fidnding work, the unemployed and all those who suffer from the difficulties resulting from the widespread crisis of employment". The Pope asked for "peace and serenity" for everyone. ” “
