May 20: Letter to Fr. Féraudy announcing his appointment to the canon’s seat made vacant by the death of Fr. Flayol. Letter from Jauvat announcing the death of Fr. Brunet, curate at Aubagne. My heart is heavy because he was a young and very holy priest. But what deep sorrow to that Fr. Albini is again in danger. I do not know what to think. After the miracle [p. 65] of his first healing, a new imminent danger. What to do? Try a new forceful appeal to the Lord? The soul is oppressed, the heart torn. Dominus exaudiat. Diary Oblate Writings XX May 21, 1839 May 21: Before my Mass in my chapel I gave the religious habit to three Brothers who are destined to serve the prisoners. They are the core of the association that we intend to create. I put them under the direction of Fr. Fissiaux, giving them the name of the Brothers of Saint Peter in Chains. My uncle caused us much concern today. He became extremely weak, his mind was wandering, he had no strength to drink or speak, and he was in a continual state of drowsiness. We were really alarmed, and were so concerned that we could not eat dinner. The doctors that we called did not seem very hopeful. What can you do for a 91-year-old man? Wait. Thank God the wait was not long. The sick man broke out in a good sweat. We no longer see any danger, and after a day of anxiety we all went to bed at peace. Oblate Writings XX May 22, 1839 May 22: My uncle had a very good night. He is back to normal. This is really amazing. I thank God. I needed this relief because yesterday was very painful for me. Letter from Fr. Bermond. He has translated the he wants Life of the Venerable Paul of the permission to have it printed after having some of our Fathers look at it. I doubt there is much interest in this life. I will examine it when I pass through Laus. Letter from Fr. Rouvière. He is overjoyed at all that God has done through his ministry in the holy missions.
