We are writing his name on this black board, so that the sisters are reminded to pray for him daily. Intercessory prayers are being offered for Fr Tom. Usually we do not keep photos on the tomb of our dear Mother, but we have placed a photo of Fr Tom on the tomb, close to the statue of our Blessed Mother, and have exhorted our sisters all over the world to keep praying for the safe release of Fr Tom.”
