Letter 269

TO THE SAME
She asks for the paper on the “Weeks of St Aloysius” - and for permission
to sit down for her meditation.

Very Reverend Father Confessor,
Kindly send me with Teresa the first paper on the Weeks
of the Sodality of St Aloysius, and also the paper with the
formula of the Act of Consecration, because I forgot to ask you
for them; the Weeks I do have were already done by them twice
over.
I have also one permission to ask of you: if I may

sometimes sit down for the evening Meditation because at
times I have back ache or pain in my legs and if I remain
kneeling down in spite of it, it is a sort of distraction. However, to
be honest, the pain is not so bad and my self-indulgence is
extreme. So if you prefer to withhold your permission, I will be
equally glad and I will manage it without much trouble. I have
actually done this thing, I mean sitting down, already, three or
four times last week. I meant to tell you about it, but I forgot.
For God’s sake, I beg of you, commend me to God. With
profound respect I implore your blessing and sign off

Your devoted, grateful Daughter in J. C.
CAPITANIO B.
