Dear Fathers and Brothers in Christ,
I have written many times to ask you for your prayers and you have supported us with such love. This help has been especially precious to our family during this intense period of Covid quarantines and restrictions in the CA Bay Area. The lockdowns and isolation have been painful for our children, especially, but God has truly blessed our family throughout these hardships. We continue to grow closer to one another and have been able to focus more and more on strengthening our relationships through love and understanding.
I beg you to continue to hold us and our beloved adopted family member Christian Montenegro in your hearts and prayers as we journey into this new year. I ask especially that Jesus may lend each of us his meek and humble heart and help us to hold each other in tenderness and love. I ask that our family grow in peace and unity this year.
I have asked the Franciscan fathers with the Seraphic Mass Association to say a novena of Masses for your intentions as you pray so lovingly for all of ours.
