My Reverend Mother, before I received news from you a few days ago, I had found out about your sickness together with your convalescence. I rejoiced greatly through the spirit that causes me to have a part in all the things which concern the glory of our Master. Among these things I include your health because it seems to me that at the bottom of your soul you are his. It is this part that takes the place in you of God’s divine heaven. You serve him by a great variety of good works which are born always from this source.
I noticed in your letter the arrangement this kind of sickness forces on you for your life in the future. It is the same arrangement that forces me to receive the Body of the Son of God by a viaticum. If we consider the time of holy communion’s institution, we are obliged to take it following the example of the Son of God who took it the evening before his Passion.
I would like, my Mother, that time would permit me to tell you what a favor God has done for a person giving her back her health provided that she will continue to think about her prior sickness. But as soon as I started into this discourse, the period of time when I was involved in it prevented the determination I had to write you more amply and made me lay down my pen. I beg you to believe that God has given me a complete affection for your service to him and that I am at your disposition as someone who is your very humble and very obedient servant.
