&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pax Christi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Il desiderio ardente delle missioni che Dio nostro Signore si compiacque accendermi in cuore fin da che entrai nella Compagnia; fù il motivo per cui io rinunziai al corso intero degli studii, onde poter più presto e fornito di quella scienza, che a sufficienza richiedesi, applicarmi all'esercizio del santo ministero: di questa rinunzia nè sono contentissimo, di quella che io ne abbia, nelle cose teologiche, non solo è utile, non eziandio necessaria a chi è chiamato ad una vita apostolica, spesse fiate mi posero a [...] la mia poca utilità e quindi a dimandare commodo e tempo per la continuazione di quegli studii, che mi mancano: non già con animo di riguardar indietro dopo aver ~~aver~~ messo mano all'aratro, che sarebbe un infedeltà al Signore, un pentirsi del sacrifizio fattogli, ma solo per fine di ripulire l'aratro, aguzzargli la punta, renderlo atto a far solchi più profondi nel campo del padre di famiglia - Si fatti pensieri, li ho manifestati in questi giorni a superiori ed a chi mi governa nello spirito, e tutti di unanime [coscienza] furono d'opinione, che io colla dovuta indifferenza e con tutta la figliale sommissione manifestassi alla 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; quanto siegue.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;" Consideratasi la mia età, ancor di trentunanno, e gli studii già ora fatti, completati, cioè, fino la filosofia, nulla di dogmatica, e quattro soli mesi di morale; considerando l'idoneità, che indi ne rinascerebbe, di servire maggiormente la Compagnia a procurare la salute delle anime nelle missioni qualora fossi meglio istruito; avuto riguardo al modo provvidenziale con cui mi&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;//&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;trovo in Europa, e veduto anche l'esempio del N&lt;em&gt;ostro&lt;/em&gt; S&lt;em&gt;anto&lt;/em&gt; Padre, che per procurare al Signore maggior gloria, si astenne al quanto dal trattar coi prossimi per fornirsi di quella scienza necessaria a si nobil fine; con piena indifferenza e senza veruna sollecitudine di esser[mi...], quello che io dimando o no; prego la 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; che qualor così &lt;em&gt;in domino&lt;/em&gt;, lo giudicherà, per maggior gloria divina, salute mia e dè prossimi, che si compiaccia accordarmi tempo e commodo per provedermi di maggior scienza nelle cose teologiche, o facendo l'intiero corso, od abbreviando l'intero, o cumpendiando la stessa via breve, il tutto come V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; giudicherà più opportuno senza riguardo alcuno sul conto mio: con ciò, Le ripeto, non intendo rivocare la rinunzia antecedente, solo però sgravarmi di un peso in coscienza ed accertarmi meglio della divina volontà.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Sono con ogni figliale riverenza&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;
