HAIL TO JESUS AND MARY

Lovere, 17 February (1829).
Dearly beloved Sister,

I am sending you the practices for a Novena, due to start
on Friday. It is meant for current needs. Please pass it on to all
our fellow members etc. I received your welcome letter from
which, no less than through Fr. Angelini, I came to know of the
immense good done in your town. I am very happy about it and
I prayerfully wish holy Perseverance to all concerned. Fr.
Angelini wanted me to assure you of his satisfaction at
everyone’s readiness to carry out his suggestions. He wishes
you to be friendly to everyone and encourage all of them so as
to strengthen them in their good resolutions.
I must ask you to do me a favour: a fellow member of
ours wishes to have all the practices of the months that we used
to observe a few years ago. I have only those for January,
February, March, June, July, August and December –. I don’t
have those for the other five, and so I must ask you to lend
