"And then were the midterm holidays. Because I had an aunt who was a teacher and her cousin, who was also my mother's cousin, was the parish administrator in Malé Svatoňovice, so, 'Let's go there to see him.' So we went there and Father Nádvorník had a letter from Father Čáp, who had been his classmate back at the Faculty of Theology and who served in a parish just next to Čihošť. So he asked that Father Čáp what had happened. My aunt copied the letter in which he described the events, she sent it to Father Malý, he gave a copy to me, she sent another to other cousin of hers and... It was during those holidays. Shortly after, the Communists made a big deal out of that." "What was in that letter?" "The letter contained only a matter-of-fact description of the event. And that the Bishop of Hradec Králové, [Mořic] Pícha, named a comission chaired by Abbot Tajovský from Želiv. And that we need to wait for the result, whether it will be verified as a miracle or not. And then it became political because they read Father Malý's letters - they knew about that letter. My aunt had a married sister in Moraždice, she was a godmother to many children there so she knew Father Malý and she thought he would find it interesting. For me, it resulted in being expelled from school in September 1950."
