&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pax Christi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Io non posso lasciare di vieppiù scrivere a Vostra Paternità Molto Reverenda del desiderio onde ardo delle missioni straniere, sebbene per un altra parte mi sembra inconveniente presentare a suoi piedi i desiderii di me infimo fra' i servi e figli suoi in G&lt;em&gt;esù&lt;/em&gt; C&lt;em&gt;risto&lt;/em&gt;. Ma il Signore è quegli che tanto efficacemente mi parla in cuore e mi fa animo a non lasciare di più e più pregare V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; che voglia esaudire questa dimanda che le fò per un intimo sentimento dell'anima proveniente senza dubio dall'amabilissimo donator d'ogni bene. Mi lascio nelle mani di V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;mi mandi ove più le aggrada, solamente sappia che da sei anni continui io sento il Signore battermi alle porte del mio cuore, e scelsi la compagnia fra le tante religioni, principalmente perchè con facilità mi venga aperto l'adito alle missioni, le quali poi furono l'unico stimolo che mi mosse a cercare d'una religione.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Padre Nostro mi conceda questa grazia!&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Le bacio rispettosamente le mani mentre colla dovuta venerazione e stima mi dico pieno di fiducia in Dio che mi fia concessa la grazia&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Di V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; M&lt;em&gt;olto&lt;/em&gt; R&lt;em&gt;everenda&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
