The Renewal of the Order redone 2018

The Renewal of the Marian Order in 1909-1910 74 If you think I should know the contents of your conversation, please write me about it because the letter you sent to Rome will be lost there. All this indicates that we should meet at Mariampole at the end of this month. After discussing everything with Rev. Sekowski, we will have to go to Warsaw to see Bishop Ruszkiewicz and from there set out for St. Petersburg. If we have to go a day or so later, it won’t mat- ter. I will deliver two or three lectures for you since we need to accomplish what we have started, and that’s the way it is. Going to Sejny is not necessary at this time. It can be put off, although I believe it would be better to settle matters now since later it will be difficult to get there, especially from St. Petersburg. Don’t be stingy with your time, Brother, and write as often as pos- sible, because I am waiting for your letters. I don’t want to make deci- sions all by myself in such an important matter. Perhaps I was han- dling matters too high-handedly as best I could in Rome, assuming that you and Rev. Sekowski will accept everything. My only consid- eration was the glory of God and the benefit of the Church as I con- ceived it in my obviously weak and unworthy understanding. How much I would like to talk with you and Rev. Sekowski now! But one must be patient. We must make arrangements as to which day we will meet in Mariampole, probably the 26th, so that we will have enough time to go to Sejny if we so decide and certainly to Warsaw. You did very well convincing Grigaitis 6 to hire one more servant. I am kissing you, Jerzy LVA, set 1674, inv. 1, vol. 99, pp. 63-64, original, in Lithuanian. 6 See Document 14, note 6. The purpose was to create a job for a servant in the St. Petersburg Academy which could be given to a candidate to the Congregation of Marian Fathers.
