FR. VIDAL, S.J.
- Father Vidal also wrote me in a very expressive and caring manner. (p.128)
- Father Vidal arrived in the afternoon of the 23rd and has stayed through today. He’s helping us a lot due to his knowledge about how things are done within the Vatican environment and due to his long experience in canon law. We’ve reworded the petitions that we are going to present to Rome because he didn’t care for the ones that we sent to the Chancery Office last week. He thinks that this new rewording will be better accepted in the Congregation of Religious. He has enlightened us about many things. (p. 177)
- Father Vidal provided me with some examples. Using this as a foundation, I made a first attempt… (p. 182)
- Through the Chancery Office I received a communique denying me permission to travel to Rome. Thanks to a letter from Father Vidal, the denial didn’t turn out to have too negative of an impact on me; but even so, I was quite affected. (p. 183)
- On the 24th, I received a letter from Father Vidal that upset me…I read and reread his words of encouragement and they appeared to me to have been written with real affection, but I was not convinced that the proceedings in Rome were carried out well… (p.183)
- I’ve told Father Vidal about everything. I have a lot of confidence in the interest that he places in our matters, in the affection that he shows us, and in the standing he has in Rome. (p. 185)
- I received a letter from Father Vidal. It’s long and very kind-hearted. In it, he tells me about the items that were granted by Rome. (p. 188)
- We sent Father Vidal a copy of the Constitutions by certified mail so that he might carefully review them and tell us what he thinks. Most of that he might carefully review them and tell us what he thinks. Most of all, we want him to look carefully at how the vows are worded because the revised forth Mercedarian vow is written there, the one in which we vow to five our lives if necessary for the redemption of captives. (p. 188)
- The transformation has been granted! It happened so quickly and easily. I can’t stop being amazed nor can I stop giving thanks to God who has shown himself to be so good with us. Father Vidal told us the news in advance. (p. 193)
- The matter of the merge with the Mercedarian Sisters of Barcelona has been forever settled. There will be no merge, not even a meeting. Father Vidal was the intermediary and used exquisite tact. (p.199)
- As soon as I get there, the first thing I would like to do is talk about my plans with Father Vidal. (p. 274)
