For our Congregation, and for our superiors.
All you saints assist me with your protection and with your prayers! I have spent so much of my life to no purpose! Once and for all, may I renounce the world, with all its pride, vanity and pleasures. Then I will give myself, body and soul, to God... (Paris, 12/12/1835)
