It seems so.  First by the immense, radical and universal good which would be achieved forming teachers according to the spirit of St. Teresa.  In ten years the entire country of Spain would be renewed.  A good head, a good heart, everything good.  And, with the grace of God, this would not be too difficult because:

    ●   My heart tells me that the idea of Tarragona is the beginning of providential things. Teacher: my first wish and sorrow...
    ●  It would be the complement of the association of Catholic Youth.  Oh, how well they would work together; how many miracle we would see!  How soon would the whole world and especially Spain, be renewed.
