therefore, implore that those hol^ aspirations be
continued, that Our motives may be purified lind all
Our actions directed by the Holy Spirit.
15iit "tieloved Brethren- and Children in Christ,
think not that Our absence was occasioned by a
desire for personal gratification or private advan-
tage ; Our sole object in withdrawing for a time
from Our Pastoral charge, was an ati^ious and ear-
nest wish to promote your eternal happiness, and
the extension of that Holy Religion which was
cradle in the crib of Bethlehem mid confiFmed
with the blood of Our Sacred Redeemer on the
Cross.'- ' -'---.-■ ■ ■■ ' -' ^ ;■ '• :■ - :
The time of that absence may be properly di^
vidf^d into two periods, — the one of Our sojourn in
London to seek from the Government of England
for the Catholic People of Newfoundland, the poor
boon of a scrap of ground, whereon to erect a Tctti-
ple to the Living God suitable to the extent and
character of the Congregation — a comfortable
dwelling for the Ministers of God, a house where
the virtuous votaries of Religion may be able to
lead your female little ones in the ways of grace
and happiness, and finally where We may be able
to lay.<H3tt a convenient and sufficient depository
for your mortal remains and those of your poste-
rity, to await that call which We trust will awaken
you to a happy, a glorious Resurrection.— The
