Following him who gave that perfect way to his followers, so that they might be the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world" (Mt 5:13-16), we wish to strive to strengthen the spiritual foundations on which human society must be based.

Your dignity demands this, since, as We have said, the preachers are your substitutes. The good of Holy Church demands it, for surely if any one should be the "salt of the earth and the light of the world," [Matt. v: 13, 14], it is the man who is engaged in the ministry of the Word.
Postulat id vestra ipsorum dignitas, quorum vices a praedicatoribus geruntur, ut diximus; flagitat Ecclesiae sanctae utilitas, quandoquidem sal terrae et lux mundi esse [15], si quis alius, is debet qui in verbi ministerio versatur.

Conscious of this sacred duty of the ministers of Jesus Christ to shine before men as teachers of virtue, first by example and then by word, so that they really become "the salt of the earth,...the light of the world"(4) from the first centuries the Church has shown particular care for the instruction and education of youth destined for the priesthood.
Quam ob rem cum Ecclesia sibi conscia esset ad Christi Iesu administrorum officium pertinere, coram hominibus se magistros virtutis primum exemplis editis tum elicitis verbis praestare, ut re ipsa sal terrae ... et ... lux mundi (Mt 5,13-14) fιerent, iam inde a primis suae vitae saeculis singulariter cavit, ut adulescentes ad sacerdotium nitentes bene instituerentur et educerentur.

Cuiusmodi cooperatio per illam communionem agitur, e qua exordium sumpsimus, scilicet vitæ, caritatis et veritatis, in quam Populus messianicus a Christo Domino est constitutus, ab Eoque ut redemptionis instrumentum assumitur et tamquam lux mundi et sal terræ ad universum mundum mittitur.

But what is the actual state of affairs of the "earth" and the "world", for which Christians ought to be "salt" and "light"?
