And now, I have finished telling Your Excellency what I remember about Jacinta’s life. I ask our Good God to deign to accept this act of obedience, that it may kindle in souls a fire of love for the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
I would like to ask just one favor. If Your Excellency should publish anything of what I have just written, would you do it in such a way that no mention whatsoever is made of my poor miserable self? I must confess, moreover, that if it were to come to my knowledge that Your Excellency had burnt this account, without even reading it, I would be very glad indeed, since I wrote it solely out of obedience to the Will of our Good God, as made known to me through the express will of Your Excellency.
