"I know that I will not see the consequences of my calling, but I know strongly, with greater certainty than death, that these consequences will come. They will not come in the sense that a certain order of life will be established that we predicted or that we wanted, but in the sense that the foolishness and evil in which the people of the Christian world now live will disappear. So it shall be, I know it with greater certainty than that of death, surely so it shall be, I am convinced.

""Știu că nu voi vedea urmările chemării mele, dar știu cu tărie, cu mai mare certitudine decât cea a morții, că aceste urmări vor veni. Nu vor veni în sensul că se va instaura o anumită ordine a vieții pe care am prevazut-o sau pe care am dorit-o, ci in sensul că vor disparea sminteala și răul în care trăiesc acum oamenii din lumea creștină. Așa va fi, o știu cu mai mare certitudine decât cea a morții, cu siguranță așa va fi, sunt convins."
