Additional Description

Container Summary

1 ALS in French from Jan Philip Roothaan, S.J. in Rome to Albert Roothaan telling of problems Mr. Beiremans(?), an abbe, is having with his mission and that he can do nothing to help him find another position; sending best wishes to Francis Fol, S.J., those at De Krijtberg, and Msgr. Groof; and stating that though he knows the Society is suffering attacks from many sides, he knows that God supports them and that they will endure. "Quant a la Cie.- Oh! oui. Vous avez bien raison de dire que l'Enfer est dechaine contre elle.- Pour moi; je vous avoue que cela me console assez. Car si nous etions moins ce que nous devons etre, on ne crieroit pas tant contre nous. Nous n'avons vraiment d'appui qu'en Dieu seul. Sous son bon plaisir, etre calomnies, (voir meme crucifies)- c'est un grand bonheur. Ainsi, par la misericorde de Dieu, jusqu'ici, je n'ai peur que de la peur. Sursum corda!"
