community by telephone. He is already back [from Rome], and this very afternoon he<br />

came to see us. The professed sisters, the novices, and both groups of students<br />

assembled <strong>in</strong> the quadrangle [the girls‟ playground <strong>in</strong> front of the build<strong>in</strong>g] and waited for<br />

our dear Father. The children welcomed him with songs and poems, and then we asked<br />
