Dear Sisters, My name is Veronica Angel, and I am a student from Indonesia. I hope it is alright that I write to you with a humble request for prayers. For some time now, I have felt a quiet desire in my heart to return to the Catholic Church. I was introduced to the faith earlier in my life, and recently I have been praying and reflecting more deeply about coming back. However, my family is Protestant and I feel afraid and unsure about how they would react, so this journey has been something I carry mostly in my heart and in private prayer. At the same time, I am currently preparing to apply for a scholarship to study at Atma Jaya Catholic University in Jakarta. The selection process will include tests and interviews this August. I truly hope that I may be accepted, and I pray that this path will help guide my future and my faith. I kindly ask if you would remember me in your prayers — that I may have courage, wisdom, and peace as I make decisions about my future, my studies, and my journey back to the Catholic Church. Thank you very much for your time and for the prayers you offer for so many people. Please keep me in your prayers. God bless you. Sincerely, Veronica angel

I (22) recently found out that my boyfriend's (26 years) brain tumor became worse and now he has only a few months left. The doctors had said the surgery is too risky saying that there are chances that he might die if it doesn't go well. I don't know the details of the medical things fully. We have known each other for more than 3 years and been together for more than 2 years. All his life he suffered a lot. His parents struggled a lot when he was a baby to make ends meet. ... It is heartbreaking that he doesn't get to enjoy life that much. The tumor was found 2024 year end and he was supposed to become better but instead it has become bad. They said he only had a few months left. I don't want to believe in their words. I don't know what to ask for in this world. I am just here praying and hoping and wishing. Please pray for his recovery and miracle. He is a good man. I just want to ask for some prayer for him to get better and get to enjoy life he deserves. No one deserves to face so many hardships in life. He has dreams too.
