              <text>&lt;p&gt;Molto Rev&lt;em&gt;eren&lt;/em&gt;do in Christo Padre&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;P&lt;em&gt;ax&lt;/em&gt; C&lt;em&gt;hristi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;In questo giorno consagrato alla memoria del gran Apostolo delle Indie, ho mandato in effetto la grazia che la P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; si è degnata concedermi: cioè mi son consagrato a Dio ed unito alla Compagnia coi santi voti. Favore grandissimo al certo del quale dopo Dio, alla P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; sono debitore. La ringrazia dunque il Signore per me: ed io in pegno della mia gratitudine non potendo far altro le applicherò per un mese tutte le opere di devozione. In questo giorno pure, col consenso del Padre Spirituale, ed anche partecipato il P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Provinciale, ho fatto il voto delle missioni, il qual voto l'avevo promesso a Dio se mi fosse dato di ritornar nella Compagnia, quando ero ancora in Malta. In adempimento di questo voto, esterno alla P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt;, quello che un tempo feci anche di presenza, la brama di aver questa grazia, e per quanto sia possibile, che ciò non tirasse a lungo. Conosco che per adesso, a causa degli studi non son capace ma coll'ajuto di Dio spero di esserlo. Io da parte mia desidero, anzi di ciò ne ho fatto anche voto, di esser pronto ed internamente voler solo far di studio quanto è necessario per un Missionario fra gli Arabi. Benchè sono indifferente a qualunque parte, sento un inclinazione particolare, come è noto alla P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; per la Siria. Adunque la supplico a suo tempo della grazia. Quando sarò capace di farla da Maestro d'infimetta in Bejrut come il F&lt;em&gt;ratello&lt;/em&gt; Vecchi; eccomi pronto alle disposizioni della P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; spero molto nella S&lt;em&gt;antissi&lt;/em&gt;ma Vergine Maria, la quale sin ora mi consolò in tutte le mie brame, sarà per consolarmi in quest'unica (da poichè che ho fatto i santi voti e so che quasi di certo non posso perder la gioja della santa vocazione non desidero altro che le missioni straniere). La P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; si degni di tenermi presente nelle sue orazioni onde aver da Dio compito questo santo desiderio.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Sono con tutto l'affetto&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Della P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; M&lt;em&gt;olto&lt;/em&gt; R&lt;em&gt;everenda&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Infimo in Christo figlio&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Benedetto Saverio Maria Schembri S&lt;em&gt;ocietati&lt;/em&gt; J&lt;em&gt;esu&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
