But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me: the priest who baptized me; those who absolved me from my sins; those whose Masses I assisted and who gave me your Body and Blood in Holy Communion; those who taught me; all those to whom I am indebted in any other way. O Jesus, keep Fr. close to your heart, and bless him abundantly in time and eternity.
