As it was my desire to attain this honor, I put pusillanimity aside. Moved by zeal and being the Procurator of the order, I asked for my name to be entered in the register as Padre Procuratore Generale di Religiosi Mariani … Polacco. Requesting an audience as such, I was received, I gave the Holy Father a report on our order, on my duties and activities, and I asked his blessing for our congregation. The Holy Father answered : “Benedico tibi et Congregationi” ]I bless you and the Congregation\. Then I said : This Congregation was founded for the greater honor of the Immaculate Virgin. The Holy Father asked : “Immaculate Conception ? Good ! ” And he nodded.
