LETTER #4

St. Martin Valley, the day of the Blessed Virgin

To Giovanni Battista Scaini in Bedizzole

            The part of the letter that describes the recipe for curing an illness of the eyes is omitted, and only the last sentences are reported.

1 Nothing else. Please, entrust us to the prayers of our brothers, especially to those of sir Bartolomeo and sir Stefano. 2 The result of the convert shows you that you are not asking the Lord the grace to act, and faith without works is dead. Do not think of being before God what you think you are.
