Your Grace my dear Archbishop
It was extremely kind of you to ring me before
our departure from Dublin. I am deeply grate-
ful to you. Mr. Jones letter regarding the
inadequate sewage disposal prevented a
big problem and Mr. O Briens absence did
not help. I have had no further word from
Mr. O'Brien but I did write to him yesterday
telling him that should I be needed it
would not be difficult to arrange to go to
Dublin
Mr. Jones talked with me this morning
by phone from Dublin and told me the
tenders were in but very high. He is send-
ing them by post this evening. I am
wondering just what I should do If
possible I should like to settle the builder before
going to Rockwell as I do not want my attention
divided when there When the Sisters are settled I
hope to go on to Paris Lourdes and Rome 2.1 as
Rev. M General wishes me to take Mother Antoninus
along. Before making long range plans I
would appreciate a suggestion from you Your
Grace, please Perhaps Mr. O Brien and Mr. R. Ryan
have been in touch with you
We should be leaving for Rockwell around Aug.21
It would be lovely for the Sisters to begin their work
under the protection of the Immaculate Heart of our
Mother a feast dear to the Holy Ghost Fathers and
dear to you, too who asked for the Sisters They
are very happy to go although there is a
little fear of not measuring up. I have tried
to dissipate this and so did Rev. M General
Crude instruments can become great powers
for good when in the Hands of the Master
Since you were instrumental in revealing
the plans of Divine Providence for our
Sisters in Rockwell I know Your Grace will
pray for them, will you not
Mother General is back in Paris and will leave for
Chambery tomorrow She carries a loving and
grateful memory of your kindness and fatherliness
that nothing can efface, and the Fathers of the
Holy Ghost did outdo themselves to enhance her
souvenirs. AIl this meant so much to me
My gratitude is profound, Domine non sum
dignus.
It is refreshing to be among ones own after
months of irregularity and activity. Like
a sponge submerged Iam trying to absorb.
and like your little robin in Killiney, I am
seeking some spiritual crumbs from your
spiritual fullness your holiness, please
You know, Your Grace that you are now
enlisted in prayers of all our Congregation
and our Father dear St Joseph will always
watch over you who have been so good to us.
With every kind wish for you personally
and humbly asking your blessing I am
Most respectfully in M.
Your devoted child
S.Mary de Pazzi
