My aunt recounts how Luisa would speak with respect and veneration of the blessed father, describing him as a “ true man of God“, who still had great suffering to face for the good of souls. This is difficult to discover, yet one thing is certain, that the two did know and esteem one another. One question naturally arises, how did they come to know one another?
