              <text>&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;Molto Reverendo in C&lt;em&gt;ris&lt;/em&gt;to Padre&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Il motivo, per cui fino ad ora non mi sono ardito di palesare a Vostra Paternità il desiderio grande, che io nutro da lungo tempo per le Sante Missioni, è stato doppio: e prima, perchè non mi sentiva a pezza fornito di quella virtù, che è dote indispensabile per un Missionario, anzi per mia confusione pieno di mille imperfezioni e difetti; poi, perchè non mi trovava peranco in possesso di quella facilità di dire, ossia facondia, che pur conviene assaissimo, e si richiede per un tal ministero. Nè si creda già V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;, che io abbia ora punto acquistato della necessaria virtù, o della richiesta abilità per la Predicazione; chè so ben io, quanto ne sto da lungi ancora. Ma solo, perchè sono in procinto di passare allo studentato della Teologia, e con esso, e per esso mi vedrò aperto innanzi un più vasto campo da operare in servigio di Dio e de’ prossimi; solo, perchè son fermo fermissimo di volere attendere più di proposito, come allo studio Teologico, così, e molto più alla emendazione de’ miei difetti, alla mia perfezione, non voglio più oltre tacermi od aspettare, epperò ricorro umilmente, ansiosamente, ferventemente a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; accioche, ove mi creda in qualche picciola cosa atto a ciò, che ardentemente bramo, mi v’impieghi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;//&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;tantosto, o almeno, almeno (intanto, che io mi studierò di rendermi il meno indegno, che sia possibile di una tanta grazia) mi tenga presente al pensiero, per adoperarmi, quando piacerà a Sua Divina Maestà, nelle Apostoliche fatiche delle Missioni. Io [riposo] in questa mia fiducia, e da questa ritraggo tutto il conforto, che provo nell’intraprendere un tenore di vita più Santo, e in Superare ogni qualunque ostacolo, mi si attraversi al conseguimento di tutto ciò, che mi abbisogna per ottenere il mio intento. Mi raccomando a S&lt;em&gt;uoi&lt;/em&gt; S&lt;em&gt;anti&lt;/em&gt; Sacrifizii e mi dico&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;suo indegnissimo figlio in C&lt;em&gt;ris&lt;/em&gt;to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
