When the times were evil and dangerous, Roeland would still hold amass on the Begijnhof in the evening, with Neeltje Jacobs Duyst. Itwas already dark. I would be on the lookout to see if there was nodanger.He would start the sermon when the Bailiff's officer came to ask ifmissionaries had a meeting somewhere in the Begijnhof. I said,"Young man, you are wrong. Where is that meeting supposed to be?"The officers of the Bailiff then came back with four large dogs, andbelieved they could then catch Roeland. But the birds were ourfriends and the priests themselves were on good terms with thesheriff.That is how he passed through difficult times. Although his motherlived at the Begijnhof, he did not dare to stay with her. He went tohelp Grietgen Huijbrechts. He assisted her in illness and made hercomply with ecclesiastical obligations. There was a wanderer in theyard who heard Father Roeland address her warmly and withcomforting words, as you do to a sick person.In those evil times, Roeland once held mass at Arien Flooren inVoorburg at night behind the village. There was a great meeting. Butthe dogs barked so loudly that Father feared that the barking wouldbe heard in the village. Father called me to him and asked: "Let thehouseholder put those dogs somewhere they would not attract theBailiff’s police”.During Easter, he held a mass in Voorburg with Job Jacobs. And theagents of the chief came to look for Easter eggs. And they feared thatthey actually came to do an invasion. Roeland did not know where tohide, there was so much commotion around the house. But the agentsdisappeared when they had the Easter eggs. They were hungry too!Roeland held a meeting at night in Voorburg, at Jan Leeuwen’schurch. There was such a big storm with heavy rain and wind that114
evening that it seemed like winter. No weather to go there. De Potterehad to do the work in those evil times, bring all things along: chalice,ampoules, mass bread, wax candles, candlesticks, even the wine forthe sacred service we had to bring with us.That was how concerned he was. On and on, he visited the Gasthuishospital and the old people's homes. Disguised, he visited sickpersons at home and organized secret public masses.When Roeland left Delft, he said to me: "Here you have two bags ofmoney. All in all, twelve hundred guilders; six hundred in each bag."One bag I brought to Mr. D. in the Begijnhof, and the other bag ofsix hundred guilders I brought to Mr. W. at the Begijnhof. There youcan see if the father has exercised charity. Such a person was Roelandde Pottere.All of that was so risky and Roeland had to find ways to achieve hismission. He would take a pump on his shoulders and discretely enterthe Gasthuis; then he spoke to the sick person as if he were apumpmaker, and as if the sick person was his friend. And so he hadthe sick person meet his ecclesiastical obligations in the Hospital !115
