Father Christie means that he is glad I try to overcome my nervousness and have found so kind a Confessor here.
He alludes to his little book[2] of which I brought two copies to Bruges; your acceptance of one will give me great pleasure.[3] Father Christie does not know how perfectly you understand our language.
I have sent yourp2intention to the Confraternity of the Precious Blood at home, (the Oratory)[4] and had some candles set up in the chapel of the Sacred Heart there; all who see them burning will pray for the same intention, by which means you will have a few more prayers towards it. It is such a pleasure to me to help in my small way! Priests give up everything in order to devote themselvesp3to the salvation of sinners, and we can do so very little in return for all their goodness.
