TO THE SAME
Trust in Maria Bambina - Complaints concerning St Aloysius.

HAIL TO THE HEAVENLY INFANT MARY

Very Reverend Father Confessor,

I am sending you some more work to do for Mary’s sake.
She never leaves us idle, not even for a day; but she is quite
right to make us work for her, since she herself is all the time
working and striving for us. I will send it to Rev. Fr. Taeri
today, on your behalf, because you will certainly have no time
to do so, while I will find time somehow.
By now the Lord has restored my usual gladness, and
even more, because I am beside myself with gladness. The
dear, loveable ‘Bambina’ looks upon the most needy and helps
them. Nevertheless, I am expecting some cross soon, very
soon. It doesn’t matter, anyway, for the Lord will help me;

otherwise I will surely betray Him. I hope, or rather I am sure,
that the sweet Bambina will also comfort you, Reverend
Father. Do place all your afflictions in Mary’s Cradle and She
will turn every one of them into heavenly joys. For charity’s
sake, put in a word for me too. I beg you, out of charity, to give

- 600 -
