I praise God for the zeal with which your workers are laboring and for the other graces He bestows on them and, through them, on the people. I ask His Infinite Goodness to grant them the strength of body and mind needed for such an important and arduous ministry as the mission. You are their Moses, raising your hands to heaven while they combat God’s enemies, and even their Joshua, sine you fight with them by means of the weapons, assistance and encouragement, and talks you give them (V:505-506).
