fixed the devotion for all the months and I have also drawn the
lots for the months each one of us will see to. Now let me tell
you what each one has drawn. The months that came to me
were: «May dedicated to Our Lady, June dedicated to St
Aloysius and November dedicated to All Saints».
M. Vertova’s months are: «January dedicated to the Sacred
Heart, for unfortunate sinners, March dedicated to Jesus
Crucified and September dedicated to our sweet Mamma
Mary». Lucia got: «February dedicated to the Blessed Trinity,
July dedicated to the holy Souls of Purgatory and December
dedicated to Baby Jesus». Giulia got: «April dedicated to
Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, August to Jesus Spouse of
our soul and October to our Guardian Angel».

Before a month starts the one who according to the lots
drawn has to see to it, has the duty to draw up a good number
of devotional practices suited to the month and writes them out

for the others so that all four of us observe them together.
Besides, if in that month there is some Novena, she will have
the added task of forming another list and send it to everyone.
If anyone in the group fails to do any of the fixed practices, she
will do an act of humility and report it to the one who has
proposed it. Each one should, of course, make it a point to
send in good time to all the others the information on what has
to be done, to ensure a good start.
We shall let this month be; we shall start next month, which is
M. Vertova’s lot. If you like this plan, well and good - we’ll do it.
If not, we shall drop the idea. Please tell Marianna as well,
