Dear friends of the Mission,
I greet you warmly!
With God’s help and even with your prayers we are well and we hope you are all well. The situation in Indonesia is very terrible. We have a curfew from 4 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day. Unfortunately, the epidemic is very widespread. The country’s economy is not good and people are suffering a lot. So we have to help each other in this difficult time. My family is well, only the elder is sick. I and some of the faithful continue to pray to Our Lady. So every day sacred prayers are made, despite my relative difficulty in chanting. But the other priest is afraid to come to Church, and so are the rest of the faithful. Please keep us in your prayers, especially this month, that the Most Merciful God may have mercy on us, just as we from Indonesia always have you in our prayers.
Thank you for the money you send me. It is very important for us in this difficult situation. Thank you for your love for the past 20 years, from the day I started my missionary effort until today.
π. Chrysostomos Manalu
