Sponsorship of Honor
she could thus be empress, and it is in this way
that her close friends and faithful saw her. This
great woman, discrete, simple, Christian in all her
ways, was interested in our work in Manila since
the beginning. As she is older, she has hesitated
for a long time to give her agreement for a
sponsorship of honor, knowing that she can no
longer travel and give enough of herself. But what
is enough, and which touches us deeply, is her
moral authority, reinforced by the spiritual force
obtained by the beatification of her father-in-law,
the blessed Charles of Austria. Thus, for this
reason, our residence home #5 for the boys was put
under the patronage of this woman. We wish to
express our most sincere and deep thanks to Her
Imperial Highness Regina for her kindness, her
fidelity in friendship and her prayer for all of
our children.
