Excerpt from Acta Et Dicta, Vol. 2: A Collection of Historical Data Regarding the Origin and Growth of the Catholic Church in the Northwest Prayers which on this occasion I offer up on high, for your preserva tion and continued happiness are not restricted to the changeable and perishable possessions which men of the world wish each other; they are well-wishes, prompted by religion, that the Lord might protect you by His grace, and that He grant you all spiritual blessings which I desire for myself. Dear parents, my filial love recalls to my mind the good example with which you have never ceased to inspire me, the salutary lessons which you have given me in such abundance, and inspires me with the most firm resolution to profit by them; forget, I humbly beg, the weakness of my youth; I hope that in the future you will never find me a disobedient child, I shall always be docile and ever desirous of profiting by the kindness showered upon me, so as to merit your es steem and your love.
