&lt;p&gt;Quante lettere le son pervenute dai giovani di Sicilia che domandano le estere missioni? tra queste non ne troverà pur una mia. queste domande bisogna che si pesino pria di farsi, per saper bene discernere se ci chiami il Signore, ovvero il [turbante] o la piuma: a noi giovani, ancor caldi di fantasia, non sarebbero strani questi granchiporri. Quanti e quanti mi hanno invitato di scrivere à V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; per seguirli! ma io aspettava la chiamata del Signore, e non quella degli uomini. Sa Iddio se ho' a cuore i fratelli derelitti, non ancor dirozzati dai costumi barbareschi, che dopo 1847 anni di luce, per arcani consigli della Provvidenza, giacciono tuttavolta nelle tenebre, ma che prò domandare di andarvi senza i mezzi di redimerli? E poi non era pur giusto che io facessi esperimento di mé stesso pria di far la domanda? Ah, quanti fervorosi Missionari hanno speso il loro tempo sui vapori, e sulle strade ferrate, e poi... e poi dar la volta per dove mesi fa partirono, e perche mai,? perche guardarono la missione dal lato favorevole, e non pensarono che dietro ad una scorreria divertita era loro riserbata una scuoletta di grammatica, ed una monotona stazione. Io Padre mio hò imparato a spese altrui, ed hò per questo dato tempo al tempo, e maturata la dimanda. È egli tempo di farla? se guardo i miei meriti, o a dir meglio i miei demeriti, non verrebbe mai questo tempo; se poi la chiamata di Dio pare che io non mi inganni dopo dodici anni di matura riflessione. In Settembre a Dio piacendo mi ordinerò Sacerdote. sarebbe il tempo di spezzare il pane ai famelici delle case del Signore. Non dimando questa o quella missione, le anime che aspettan conforto sono tutti fratelli nostri redenti tutti col medesimo sangue. Il Signore lo permettera? ascolterà V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; le calde preghiere&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Del suo [dis&lt;em&gt;obedientissim&lt;/em&gt;o] servo e figlio in &lt;em&gt;Cristo&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
