The joy of the Lord be your strength
October 1978
My dearest children,
Br. Sebastian and all in “Gift of Love”, Rome
Let us thank God for all His tender love for each one of us. Be “Ekdil-Prempur”.
Keep the joy of the Lord as your strength – and as a bond of love, peace and joy with our Lady & each other. Let us pray.
God bless you.

Best wishes for the Feast of the Holy Innocents
28 December 1978
My dearest Brothers,
This is to wish you the best on your feast of the Holy Innocents – as the little Society of the Brothers of the Word is still only a little Babe as the Babe of Bethlehem.
My prayers for you is that each one of you having given all to Christ you may also give your life in a Martyr’s death as the little ones did.
Pray much for Mother as I do for you.
God bless you.
Mother
You are always in my prayers
Yemen, 4 August 1981
My dearest Brothers, Br. Sebastian and all in Rome,
This brings you Mother’s love, blessing and prayer for each one of you – that you may grow in the likeness of Christ through love and humility and so proclaim the Holiness of God to all you meet.
You are very much in my prayer – that you really become so free that Jesus may live His life to the full in you.
I hope you have met Archbishop Mayer and ask him. I am still waiting for His Golden Jubilee gift.
On Saturday I leave for Africa – so pray for me.
Happy and Holy feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Cause of our joy
God bless you.
