&lt;p&gt;Molto Rev&lt;em&gt;eren&lt;/em&gt;do in C&lt;em&gt;ris&lt;/em&gt;to Padre Nostro&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;So bene che il P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Rettore, non ha molto tempo, ha scritto a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; Paternità sul conto di mia vocazione alle missioni estere e specialmente alla Cina. Io non ho scritto per l'addietro per la ragione che il medesimo P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Rettore mi disse, che avrebbe fatto le mie parti. Ma mi perdoni, se ora coll'occasione del ritorno del P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Assistente Ferrari, mi prendo a dirne qualche cosa io immediatamente, chè penso giovar ciò a darle maggior segno della sincerità de' miei desiderii; e voglio dire, che vengo a supplicarla della indicata grazia tante volte chiesta a Dio ed alla Madre S&lt;em&gt;antissi&lt;/em&gt;ma con incessanti preghiere.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Vorrei P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; mio dire della maturità della mia Vocazione, e le molte ragioni, e stimoli che mi spingono a chiederne sì presto l'esecuzione, ma me ne astengo avvisandomi averne già detto quanto bastava al mio P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Rettore.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;In mano di sua Paternità stà il concedere a me questa grazia della quale non posso ottenere nè desiderare maggiore qui in terra contenendone per me ogni altra. Per tutti i capi io lo confesso ne sono indegnissimo; ma o Dio, e che grazia sono io degno di ricevere? Tanto sarà maggiore l'obligo che sarò tenuto portare al Signore ed a sua Paternità quanto minori sono i miei meriti che la persuado a consolarmi.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Torno pertanto a pregarla, ed a supplicarla per quell'amore che porta all'anima d'un suo miserabile figlio, che mi voglia il più presto possibile, con la prima occasione concedere un tanto bene, ed io all'incontro quanto mai farò e patirò tutto riconoscerò dopo Dio e la Madre S&lt;em&gt;antissi&lt;/em&gt;ma da V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; e nella maniera che mi sarà possibile mostrerò la dovuta gratitudine. Mi annumeri dunque nell'ultimo e più abbietto luogo dì quelli che ha eletti per la Cina, dove sento più desiderio, perchè si può più soffrire, e più facile è il martirio che tanto ho bramato fin da piccolo, o almeno in qualche altra Missione, che purchè mi vi annumeri mi terrò sopra ogni cosa beato.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Io pregherò instantemente la Madre S&lt;em&gt;antissi&lt;/em&gt;ma, che ispiri a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; la decisione e a tal fine intenderò fare ogni cosa di bene.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Nella fiducia di ottenere quanto mi ha posto in cuore Dio Benedetto ne anticipo a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;le più vive grazie. Le bacio umilmente la mano, e le chieggo la S&lt;em&gt;ua&lt;/em&gt; Benedizione segnandomi con rispetto sommo =&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Di V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; Molto Rev&lt;em&gt;eren&lt;/em&gt;da&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Umil&lt;em&gt;issi&lt;/em&gt;mo ed Indegnissimo in &lt;em&gt;Cris&lt;/em&gt;to Servo e Figliuolo&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
