Pope Benedict's first tweet in Latin

Back in January, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI added Latin to the list of languages in which he tweeted.  His first tweet in Latin was:

"Unitati christifidelium integre studentes quid iubet Dominus? Orare semper, iustitiam factitare, amare probitatem, humiles Secum ambulare."

Fortunately, the language is relatively simple.  Most of the words even I know, or at least I can make an educated guess.
