Bicentenary

Es Cubells (Ibiza), 14 August 1861                                                         


To Juana Gratias in Ciudadela.

The statement is an act of deep trust that binds them. "You know that I love you with that spiritual love that takes as one's own the interest of the soul, and as a faithful friend and solicitous father, I will say with fatherly love what I have to tell you for your good and mine and for the glory of God. If you, God and me are in agreement in what concerns you, everything else is left outside, and any bitterness from God and me, touches the marrow of your bones."

How well he knows her!
