Abstract
The magnificent gifts that I havejust received from the Gasimi Institute1 and from Contessina Germana Gaslini, and the far too laudatory words of Avvocato Carlo Martinengo, president ofthe institute, threaten to bolster my already redoubtable self-satisfaction, so that I must light bonfires to remind myself of this world's vanities. I can feel in your words and attitudes a warm, optimistic expectation, the certitude of things hoped for, the trust in my missionary zeal—all things that are indispensable to anyone working for the love-borne, love-dedicated Gaslini Institute. I bow before these monuments ofChristian and social charity, which I regard as islands of grace, hope, spiritual enrichment, and salvation, where the noblest spiritual gifts find increase and reach out to the farthest horizons.
