Dear brothers and servants of Jesus,
I recognize that serving Jesus requires self-denial, and both you and Mary have presented yourselves to the Lord as living sacrifices in His service. I am confident that the Lord will reward you, especially during these years of separation from your family.
I pray that the Lord continues to use your lives and meets all your needs, both physical and emotional. You are an example of faith to all of us who live in the "free" world.
On this day, I wish you the best of God's blessings.
With love and prayers,
