With tenacity and faithfulness, you have gone ahead with your people in this way, unwaveringly even in the hours of severe trials. The fact that Providence wants to allow you, despite your advanced age, to see yourself and your people crowned at the goal and your own life's work by the salvation and the final assurance of a happy future of the Czech people, is the sincere wish with which I commemorate yours today.
