Letter 74: Our generous Lord has granted us once again to enjoy the feast and to send your excellency the festal greeting.
To Urbanus,
Our generous Lord has granted us once again to enjoy the feast and to send your excellency the festal greeting. We pray that you may be well and prosperous, and that you may share in the unspeakable, divine gift which supplies to those who approach it the seeds of the blessings we hope for, and gives us the pledges of the life and kingdom that have no end.
These things we ask the loving Lord to grant you, for it is natural for friends to pray that their friends may be blessed.
