              <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Molto Rev&lt;em&gt;eren&lt;/em&gt;do in C&lt;em&gt;ris&lt;/em&gt;to P&lt;em&gt;ad&lt;/em&gt;re N&lt;em&gt;ost&lt;/em&gt;ro&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Pax Christi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Mi valgo della venuta in cotesta de’ p&lt;em&gt;adri&lt;/em&gt; missionarî valachesi per rinnovare a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; le mie preghiere di mandarmi ovunque le piacerà alle missioni estere, alle quali da gran tempo mi sento chiamato. Fortunati le mille volte cotesti p&lt;em&gt;adri &lt;/em&gt;Basile Guagliata e Bartoli, a’ quali il Signore accordò finalmente la sospirata grazia di partire a travagliare nell’abbandonata vigna del medesimo Signore! Ma sventurato me, che qui mi resto a pascermi solo di desiderî! i quali non potei quest’anno sfogare altramente, che con una piccola missione all’Isola della Favignana; dove con licenza de’ superiori ci recammo nel tempo delle vacanze dagli studi tre compagni Teologi con un padre anziano. Oh me beato se siffatti desideri verranno una volta a compimento!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sarà poi vero che soli essi cotesti miei compagni di classe godranno la sorte delle missioni? e non ne sarò a parte ancor io? Tanto spero ottenere dal misericordiosissimo Signore, cui ho già fatto il sacrifizio di tutto me stesso. Io intanto non cesserò di scrivere a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;, finchè non ne abbia decisiva risposta. La P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;a V&lt;em&gt;ostr&lt;/em&gt;a mi perdonerà, se forse colle mie lettere sarò importuno. Che vuol’Ella che io le dica? È l’accesa brama di ajutare tanti sgraziati miei Fratelli, i quali ogni giorno a gran numero eternamente si perdono, che così mi fa parlare. Prego adunque grandemente V&lt;em&gt;ostra&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;ad avermi presente alla prima occasione che le si offrirà di dovere inviare de’ missionarî, e raccomandandomi moltissimo a’ di Lei santi sacrifizî mi dico&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&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;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
