Dear Ron,
Greetings in the name of the Lord, whom his presentation in the temple we celebrated yesterday, February 2, 2003 being Sunday. Forgive me for not replying you on time; it was just that I was busy at school.

As for the HNS, we have been given a preliminary approval that will eventually culminate in having the HNS flag fly in my parish / diocese. We are to start while we would be monitored for sometime to find out how far we can go not just in words of mouth this time but in action to promote reverence to the name of our Lord said the bishop. Since after the pronouncement, we have had three successive meetings to marshal out plan for action. About 15 persons were in attendance the first day and the rest of the meetings the number increased to 18. We expect more people would join . Our problem is basically publicity because the society is still very new and needs to be given extensive publicity.

According to the bishop we have to make a report on the progress we have made by the end of this February, which he would scrutinize. I have prayed and hope that we would have an interesting report. We are aware that a lot of work must be done in that direction. With God all things are possible.

Since the very first time I mentioned to you that I'm interested in the HNS I never relented to ensuring that it came into being in my parish because I know it must help to minimize the rate of using our Lord's name for joke as I witness in the campus. However the photocopy of the book you sent me has helped in no small measure to sensitize people on the dangers of misuse of our lord's name. I pray and hope that when the HNS is fully established - it would go along way in bringing blessings to our land, which has suffered, and still suffering political crises. The catholic literature you sent me made me to understand how mentioning the name of the Lord saved many people and their lands in time's of trouble.

Dear Ron,

We wish to tell you the outcome of our meeting with the parish preist corcerning the HNS. The fact is that our parish priest after hearing from us directed us to our Diocesan Bishop for approval.

Meanwhile, we would like you to send to us the HNS prayer book and format as part of our proposal to the Bishop. However, you havw to bear with us while we obey and follow the direction an instruction of the the church even if it involves a slow pace.

In Christ Love.

Please, could it be possilble to send at least one or two prayers of the society through net. I evinsage that I may be asked about it at the meeting tomorrow.

I discuused with Jude and suggested having what the typical prayer look like so that we can go with it tommorrow. I don't mean the whole prayer of the society but a bit of it - one or two.

I will not relent, that's my promise to the Lord. Whatever I would go through to get the HNS started is part of the cross I would carry. Lord who began this good work between us will make it a reality. AMEN

Remain blessed
Julius

Subject: MY GROUP SAID LET'S GET IT STARTED

Dear Ron,

My group said let's us go in-group to see the Bishop; we cannot wait to have our inaugural meeting, they screamed as I broke the good news. I could not hold tears as I watched mercy one of our members composes the prayer into song in our morning devotion at school. The bishop will give his assent soon that I know. I printed twenty copies of the prayer, which was not enough, as the demand was high. I have vowed not to disappoint God and the mother association in setting up HNS here.

Knowing fully well the tradition of the Catholic Church, I don't to want to rush things. I'm sure the Bishop will give go-ahead order but he has to take his time. I will be going to see him next week with the mail you sent.

Subject: Greetings from Nigeria

I should have said this earlier but I always forget each time I write. I am interested in the HNS. I wish that it come into our parish and others in Nigeria, I have asked question concerning such pious organization here but nobody knows about it among the people I asked. I hope to visit HNS web site this week but before I start making inquires I would wish to hear from you regarding my intention about HNS coming to our parish and possibly our school.

In Christ love

Julius
