WE do not precisely know when these Notes were written and published; we only know that in 1767 they were printed at the end of the volume entitled Way of Salvation. We think, however, that they must have appeared sooner, Father Cafaro having died in 1753. We here give some details that the author has omitted. Father Cafaro was received as a novice by St. Alphonsus, at Burra, October 25, 1741; he was then thirty-four years of age, and he lived nearly twelve years in the Congregation. The saint soon gave a signal proof of the esteem and confidence that he reposed in his new subject. In 1743, he chose him for his spiritual director, and made a vow to obey him in all things. At the General Chapter of 1749, Father Cafaro was appointed one of the Consultors-General. St. Alphonsus regarded him as one of the principal supports of his Congregation, and never deviated from his counsels; in Cafaro's last illness the saint did all he could to save his life; and in order to console himself for his "loss, it was while adoring the decrees of Providence that he composed his beautiful hymn on the Conformity to the will of God.
