If it is not too late to make a request, please may I request that the Sunday mass be dedicated to Sierra Leone and the whole of West Africa that they may see the end of this virus soon. That the leaders and the organisers behind the control of this disease in the country may do their work with dedication and care of their people. That the beliefs, superstitions and fear of the people my be replaced by the love and belief in Jesus Christ.
We have been asked not to celebrate mass this Sunday but to pray in the privacy of our homes. So we had Sunday mass yesterday evening instead at some of the churches. So it is a really sad time here but by the grace of God it will soon come to an end.
I will stop for now and apologies for going on too much. Please pass my warmest greetings to everyone at St. Charles. I will keep you posted of the developments here. I will keep you in my prayers as always. May God continue to guide you always.Kind regards,Mercy**************************************
