Dearest M. Daria and all the Sisters: In these days, the confinement makes us live our relationships in a very special way, the inner bonds are strengthened by prayer, by the news of the sick and the Sisters who have left us. Thanks to this initiative, which we are grateful for, we can get in touch with our Sisters all over the world, those we know and those we don’t, because now the “need” to communicate is awakened, the interest to know how you are living these long days and weeks…we trust, as Mother General tells us in her letter and also in the video sent, that this Holy Week we can live it in a deeper, more austere way, more in solidarity with all men and women of the world.
We are living these days following the instructions of the confinement, especially the three older Sisters, because Sr. Véronique has been in charge of acting as a bridge between us and the four girls who stayed in the house… Today I am writing to ask you, in the name of the Community and the girls, for a special prayer. Tomorrow one of these four girls will be operated tomorrow for a serious thing, she was operated three years ago and now the tumor has reproduced…it is urgent. Her name is Aahd, Moroccan, she is 20 years old and we are struck by her strength …. and her serenity. She was admitted today, and we thought that this is the best way for many Religious of Mary Immaculate to pray for her tomorrow… Thank you very much.
With an embrace for all, especially for the Sisters and Communities most marked by suffering.
