To the Men and Women of the Cloth


Lorot Son of the Hills, we send you to the Comboni Missionaries spread all over the World. These men and women of God have abandoned their earthly possessions, passion of the flesh, things they would have loved to do to be with the sons and daughters of the hills. To them do we send you Lorot Son of the Hills.

Go and tell them this: 
That they should continue the Lord’s work in the spirit they are doing it despite all that is occurring around them. They should continue to tender the Lord’s Vineyard with love even when fellow men counter them with ridicule and ill-will. That they are the parents of the orphans and the husbands of widows on behalf of our Good Lord. That their names may not be written in the hearts of men and on stones but they are written in the lives of men and women they serve.

Tell them not to despair. Tell them that their Good Lord in the heavens is pleased with their works. Tell them men may be unkind, but the Good Lord is always kind; that men are forgetful and bear short memories, but the Good Lord knows everything without limit; that men are trapped in their own selfish desires, but the Good Lord is pure and encourages us to be so. 

Go and tell them Lorot Son of the Hills that we say thank you.
