There is something you know about me,
something very personal,
and there is something I know about every one of you
and that's very central to your concerns.
There is something that we know
about everyone we meet anywhere in the world, on the street,
that is the very mainspring of whatever they do
and whatever they put up with.
And that is that all of us want to be happy.
In this, we are all together.
How we imagine our happiness, that differs from one another,
but it's already a lot that we have all in common,
that we want to be happy.

Something is given to us that's valuable to us.
And it's really given.
These two things have to come together.
It has to be something valuable, and it's a real gift.
You haven't bought it. You haven't earned it.
You haven't traded it in. You haven't worked for it.
It's just given to you.
And when these two things come together,
something that's really valuable to me and I realize it's freely given,
then gratefulness spontaneously rises in my heart,
