Sixth point. His behaviour during the time of his studies at padua, and his journey to loretto and to rome

Her answer on the sixth point ivas :

I declare that our Blessed Founder told me that he was sent to Padua to complete his studies. It will be seen from the exercises, resolutions, and rules of piety which he prescribed for himself at that time, which I have seen in his own hand writing, and which are inserted in his Life,

62 Saint Sane J. tie ffifjantal's Depositions written by the Reverend Father, Dom Jean de St. Francois, General of the Feuillants, how our Blessed Founder was from that time guided and directed by the special grace of God, and also what were the occupations to which he princi pally directed his attention. He also told me that while he was at Padua he was seriously ill, and suffered from three deadly and very painful diseases at the same time; all this he endured patiently. The before-mentioned M. Deage, his tutor, thinking that he must surely die, had him asked where he desired to be buried; he replied that his body was to be given to the head surgeon for dissection, in order, said he, that if I have been of no use to the world during my life, my body may at least after death be of some service to it, without any of the riots and difficulties attendant upon body -snatching.

Our Blessed Founder, on leaving Padua, visited the holy Chapel of Our Lady of Loretto, and after that the tombs of the blessed Apostles at Rome and the other holy places there. In telling me about his journey, he convinced me that he had received great consolation and much advan tage from this pilgrimage. And this is true, &c.
