I know that the love that you had for us from ancient times and from the beginning, you keep intact and even increase it, not only not allowing it to go out due to the distance and duration of time, but kindling it more and more. It is also a sign that you receive our letters with great joy and that, whether you write yourself or remain silent, you are equally disposed towards us. Over the years I have indeed seen many experiences of your favor. But that is why we ask your honesty to always be so disposed towards us, that we already have many guarantees, many monuments to the sincerity of your love. That is why we carry you constantly in our souls, imprinting them on our minds, and we keep an unforgettable memory of you, although we cannot constantly write to you, encountering an obstacle in the lack of letter carriers. Knowing this, my most modest and most reverent lady, write to us yourself constantly about your health. Although we, having not received a letter from you, always ask those who arrived from there about you; but we would like to receive letters directly from your modesty, conveying the joyful news of your prosperity. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
