Ambrose St. John Raccolta, or Collection of Indulgenced Prayers and Good Works

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Their friendship is recorded in the concluding sentences of the Apologia, in which that work is offered as a memorial of affection and gratitude to the Fathers of the Oratory: And to you especially, dear Ambrose St John, whom god gave me when He took everyone else away; who are the link between my old life and my new; who have now for twenty one years been so devoted to me, so patient, so zea lous, so tender; who have watched me so narrowly, who have never thought of yourself if I was in question.
