I am not dying, as you had foretold, but I continue to suffer, particularly from cruel insomnia, and as a result I can do nothing useful.

God’s plan for you and for me is surely one of mercy. He will draw some good from what is evil, you can be sure, so, in advance, thank his goodness for this.

I have received from Jerusalem, just today, a letter from the superior of Saint Anne’s announcing that four of the students, among the first to enter the seminary already twelve years ago, having completed their studies, are due to receive sacred orders.

Furthermore, they themselves embraced these diverse languages and customs so as to make their ministry more effective, according to the very wordsof St. Paul, ‘Ominibus Omnia factus sum ut omnes facerem salvos.’

The Fathers of St. Anne’s therefore will consider themselves as specially delegated by their Society in the person of the Society by Catholic France and the Church, to pray at the cradle of Mary, close to
the bleeding wounds of the Passion of her Divine Son on behalf of the Christian world and in particular for deprived Africa.
