              <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pax Christi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&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 Generale&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Se non fossi stato ritenuto da un certo segno di rispetto, e venerazione, verso i cenni 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; più volte nello scorso anno Le avrei rinnovato le mie suppliche, di andare alle Missioni: ma ricordevole che V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;mi aveva prescritto una sol volta l’anno, mi sono contentato di raccomandare la cosa, nelle mie deboli orazioni, a quel Dio da cui solo dipende l’esecuzione di tali desiderî, e col consiglio del mio P&lt;em&gt;adre &lt;/em&gt;Spirituale mi obbligai con voto a chiedere dette Missioni: ora però, scorso il tempo prefissomi non posso negare di essermi trovato in qualche perplessità; e ciò perché riflettendo meco stesso, secondo gli ammaestramenti del S&lt;em&gt;anto &lt;/em&gt;Vangelo, se sia fornito di quelle virtù, che si richiedono ad un sì grande edificio, mi veggo astretto a confessare, d’aver non solo niente acquistato, ma eziandio fatto qualche scapito positivo; e ciò dal poco raccoglimento, e dal soverchio diffondermi nell’esterne occupazioni: quindi prima d’inviarLe questa mia, ne ho interrogato i Superiori esponendo loro, ciò che mi teneva sospeso in tale deliberazione, ed essendo da essi animato a scrivere, di nuovo con questa mia prostrato a piedi 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; espongo il gran desiderio che sento, di cooperar più da vicino alla salute dei prossimi, e seguire le orme del nostro Maestro Gesù portando animosamente una Croce di fatiche, disagi, pene, e cheso io. Questo e non altro certamente è quello che mi spinge a desiderarlo, e ciò che mi consola, è la speranza di essere un giorno esaudito. È vero che&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;//&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;come diceva poc’anzi, non ho atteso a rendermene degno; ma pur suole avverarsi, che non ogni male viene per nuocere: e così spero nella Divina grazia, che avendo conosciuto, in questa S&lt;em&gt;anta &lt;/em&gt;Casa del Noviziato, il mio stato, possa mantenermi constante nel camino della virtù. Quindi mi rivolgo a 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;supplicandoLa, per quanto ama i Cuori S&lt;em&gt;anti&lt;span&gt;ssi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;mi di Gesù e Maria, a voler accogliere benignamente questi miei desiderî, e far sì che si effettuiscano. Chi sa, se la Divina Provvidenza volendomi esaudire, abbia disposto che ne venissi in questa S&lt;em&gt;anta &lt;/em&gt;Casa, onde conosciuto il mio male, corrisponda fedelmente alla mia Vocazione? Sì M&lt;em&gt;olto &lt;/em&gt;R&lt;em&gt;everendo &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;adre &lt;/em&gt;io lo spero, e lo spero nei meriti di Gesù e Maria, e nella protezione dei Santi della Compagnia.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Ardisco per ultimo pregare 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;che scrivendo al P&lt;em&gt;adre &lt;/em&gt;Provinciale mi faccia sapere, per mezzo di lui, se Le sia pervenuta questa mia, ed a Suoi venerati piedi genuflesso Le chiedo Paterna Benedizione.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Della P&lt;em&gt;a&lt;/em&gt;t&lt;em&gt;ernit&lt;/em&gt;à V&lt;em&gt;ostr&lt;/em&gt;a Molto R&lt;em&gt;everen&lt;/em&gt;da&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
