We have received the blessing of Saint Mark the evangelist, or rather, to be more accurate, of Saint Peter the apostle, with that charm with which it was transmitted, and offering an address of greeting, we ask that your Beatitude deigns to pray on our behalf, so that we deserve to be snatched from the present evils more quickly, and not excluded from future joys.
