Adunque non sapendo più che fare, per sfogare la piena del mio cuore; io mi rivolgo alla P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;e manifestandole, che oramai essendo sulla fine degli studii filosofici, secondo il costume della Compagnia aspetto nel principio dell'anno scolastico d'esser destinato a far scuola; la supplico per i meriti del N&lt;em&gt;ostro&lt;/em&gt; S&lt;em&gt;anto&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Ignazio, di cui ella in questo terra fa le veci, che se mai, come spesso le occorre, avesse bisogno di mandare qualche scolastico in qualche missione straniera, qualunque essa sia ed in qualunque parte, a far scuola e [cosi addestrarsi a riuscire] un giorno operario in quella vigna del Signore; &lt;em&gt;Ecce ego mitte me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;Sappia V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; che per sollecitar Dio a concedermi questa grazia, ho offerto un centinaio di messe a sua Divina Maestà, ed altrettante coroncine ai Cuori S&lt;em&gt;antissimi&lt;/em&gt; di Gesù e Maria; ed in questo giorno consecrato a Maria, dopo avere meco per tanto tempo deliberato, risolvei farle la su fatta proposta. Null'altro, se non pregandola di scusarmi dell'ardire, le rinuova la preghiera, onde siccome la V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; Pa&lt;em&gt;ternità&lt;/em&gt; fu quella che m'ammise, e riamise nella Compagnia, e mi concesse ancora di fare i santi voti; così ancora ella farà che mi consoli in [questo più] desiderio delle missioni, per le quali essere stato io chiamato alla Compagnia ho non mediocre sicurezza&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;La prego di tenermi presente nei suoi suoi s&lt;em&gt;anti&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;sacrifici.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
