"Not only the two Danei brothers but, in addition, three priests and four lay brothers as companions humbly prostrate before Your Eminence and make the same petition and pray Your Eminence to have compassion on them. At present they stay in a poor hovel that is so small and miserable it moves people to pity when they see how many we are who live in it. It is true that our four lay brothers sleep in a poor cabin, and because of the restricted space now that the hot days are coming on, we are molested by an army of fleas and other things, and there is no escape. " 


(St. Paul of the Cross letter 151)
