St. Joseph Marello - 1891

And now, Dearly beloved, there only remains for me to
urge you to pray for the Sovereign Pontiff, Leo XIII, that the
Lord may deign to preserve him for many more years in the love
of his children and for the good of the Church. Pray also for our
August Sovereign and the Royal Family, for the State authorities
and for Us who love you with a paternal affection and from our
heart we bless you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit.

Acqui, January 24, 1891
