p143 [G Biava] [From the Italian.] Thanks again, dear brother, for your letter. . . . Faith that finds an answer to its prayer must have found God and be in communion with Him, but then this God is a God of love, and in order to realise His power so as to have the answer His power must be realised, and faith has found it; but this communion is not possible if love is absent. Consequently, when we come to ask with faith the fulfilment of our desire, we must forgive our brother whatever we may have against him: otherwise we are in the presence of God with respect to His government, subject to the effect of our sins. . . .

Your affectionate brother.
