I
am hungry for the work and I wish with all my heart to be one of the
chosen Ones, whose privilege it will be, to sacrifice themselves for
the salvation of the souls of the poor Islanders... I am not afraid
of any disease, hence it would be my greatest delight even to
minister to the abandoned ‘lepers.’
