Dear Patti, finally the box of spiritual
treats has arrived, tardy but safe! What a
blessing! Thank you so much! I have
arranged for the monthly Novena of
Holy Masses you requested to continue
being offered at the Holy Sepulchre
until the end of the year. We can receive
mail but no tourists. There is no work
for the people and increasing numbers
come to the monastery door for food -
over 300! We are in the hands of Mary
and our beloved Princess, St. Philomena.
We trust the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
for everything. With gratitude,
< Fr. Luke of the Holy Ghost

Dear Mrs. Patti, I would like to know
more about the devotion to Our Lady
of Good Deliverance! That is the need of
our time, not only in the USA, but also
for the entire world! Things here are
so bad especially the melting down of
the true Faith and the hardened ice of
love in our hearts! May Our Lady help
us all! < Fr. Michael - NIGERIA >
Here in Rwanda, we
have started working
slowly. Some churches
have been allowed to
have Mass on Sunday
with not more than 3
Masses with less than
300 per Mass. We hope
that, one day, God will
deliver us from this evil. < Fr. Longin
RWANDA >
Thank you for your recent packet of
prayer cards and information. I know
of what you write. The Immaculate Heart
of Mary will triumph! Unfortunately,
only a handful of my parishioners recite
the Rosary daily; I will propose to them
the Living Rosary. Even one decade is
better than nothing. Do you have any
info in Japanese? I plan to begin enrollment
on Dec. 8. Now, I am teaching them
the Rosary prayers again, and then assign
the Decade. Please send me the Decade
cards and enrollment forms. Did the
recent hurricanes affect you? I am
praying for your complete recovery.

There is great need for evangelization
in Christian Communities, due to the
effect of the COVID pandemic. Most
people have lost hope in the Catholic
Faith and the forthcoming of Jesus
Christ Our Savior. The government is
corrupt. Daily, there is persecution,
demolishing of Churches and land
grabbing. People are being murdered
every day because they speak the truth.
It is incredible! The priests and nuns
are beaten and hunted down. We need
your prayers! < Major Seminarian

The package arrived today. Thank you
for sending us so many beautiful and
useful devotional items. The cards in
Shona are helpful as well. Here, we
are spared from the virus. Our poor
hospitals would not be able to care for
many patients. May God bless you all!
