              <text>&lt;p&gt;Molto Reverendo in Cristo Padre&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Pax Christi&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Colgo l’opportunissima occasione di questo Reverendo Rettore, che si reca costì per la Congregazione Provinciale, per spedire a Vostra Paternità questa mia lettera. A prima vista intenderà bene lo scopo della medesima. Non altro fine mi spinge che il desiderio di far conoscere a Vostra Paternità di conservare nel mio cuore viva la brama d’andare alle missioni estere, che altre volte ho significato, e di ripeterne le istanze. Deh, Molto Reverendo Padre trovi un posto ancora per me, e mi consoli. Mi mandi ove più sarà il suo gradimento, sieno i popoli selvaggi, o idolatri, o barbari. Non ho altro in cuore che patire qualche cosa per amor di Gesù Cristo, e ridurre al suo Cuore amabilissimo qualche anima.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Caso però che Vostra Paternità avesse operarii a tal uopo più acconci di quello che sono io, le propongo un nuovo progetto (scrivo con questa libertà a Vostra Paternità, perché la paterna sua bontà m’invita a far così). Il progetto si è, che m’associi a qualche zelante nostro missionario, il quale sia contento di dare solamente gli Esercizi spiritualio missioni ne’ villaggi, campagne, e ostelli, e in qualche piccola città di poca rinomanza d’Italia, con questa condizione, che ove si fosse chiamato, non si dovesse andare che a piedi pellegrinando, e non si dovesse ammettere altro cibo che grossolano, e tanto quanto fosse necessario al sostentamento delle forze. In una parola rinnovare il metodo de’ santi missionari antichi più celebri della Nostra Compagnia. Imperciocché la spesa di vetture, e il trattamento più dilicato sono ordinariamente la causa, per cui i parrochi presenti piuttosto poveri, si astengono di chiamare i missionari, e coltivare le loro rozze parrocchie.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Iddio benedetto ispiri a Vostra Paternità qualche buona risoluzione, e consoli il mio cuore desiderosissimo di tanto bene. Pronto però a fare in qualunque modo la Santissima volontà di Dio, sono in unione de’ &lt;span&gt;Suoi Santissimi Sacrifizi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Infimo in Cristo Servo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Francesco Siciliani S&lt;em&gt;ocietatis&lt;/em&gt; J&lt;em&gt;esu&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
