What are you saying? Are constant illnesses preventing you from coming to us? But you have arrived, you are with us, you have done everything for us, judging by the disposition of your will, and you do not have the slightest need to apologize for this. Your ardent and sincere love, constantly kept in such strength by you, is able to replace us with many joys. You have made us very concerned now by notifying us of your illness. As soon as you get rid of it (God willing, you will get rid of it and be completely healthy again), then immediately notify us in order to relieve us of our worries. What I have always written, I say again now: no matter where we have to be, even if we are sent to a country even more desolate than this, we will never cease to take part in you and your situation. You have presented to us such guarantees of your ardent and sincere love that they can never be destroyed or fade with time, and whether we are close to your nobility or far away, we will always retain the same love for you, knowing the sincerity and genuineness of the favor that we have always enjoyed from you. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
