Naʻe fakamamahi e mālōlō ʻeku faʻeé, ka kuo “folo hifo hoku mamahí ʻe he fiefia ʻa Kalaisí.”
ʻI ha hoʻatā Sāpate ʻe taha, naʻá ku kamata fakakaukau ai kia Sīsū Kalaisi mo ʻEne feilaulau fakaleleí. Naʻe tokoni e ngaahi fakakaukau ko iá ke u ongoʻi malu mo nonga ai.
Ka neongo ia, naʻe fakafokifā pē ʻeku manatuʻi ʻa e ngaahi tūkunga fakautuutu ʻo e COVID-19 ʻi hoku fonuá. Naʻá ku ongoʻi loto mamahi he taimi pē ko iá koeʻuhí ko e kakai naʻe faingataʻaʻia fakamāmani lahí.

Lolotonga e mahaki fakaʻauha fakamāmani lahi ʻo e COVID-19, kuo fuesia fakafoʻituitui ʻe ha tokolahi ʻa e kavenga ʻo e mole ha taha ʻoku nau ʻofa aí.
Naʻe haʻu leva ʻeku fakakaukaú ki heʻeku faʻeé, ʻa ia naʻá ne mālōlō ʻi hoku taʻu nimá. ʻI he hokohoko atu e tafe ʻa e loʻimatá ʻi hoku fofongá, naʻá ku lotu ki he Tamai Hēvaní fekauʻaki mo ʻeku ʻofa lahi ki aí. Pea naʻá ku manatuʻi leva naʻe tangi ʻa Sīsū mo Mele mo Maʻata hili e pekia ʻa Lasalosi, hona tuongaʻané mo Hono kaungāmeʻá (vakai, Sione 11:19–35). Naʻe fakafiemālieʻi au ʻe heʻene manavaʻofá, ka naʻá ku kei tangi pē ʻi heʻeku fakakaukau ki he lahi ʻo ʻeku ʻofa ki heʻeku faʻeé.
ʻI he hokohoko atu ʻeku lotú, ne u fakakau ʻeku fineʻeikí ʻi heʻeku lotú. Naʻá ku fakakaukau kiate ia peá u fakakaukauloto ki ai ʻokú ne ʻi muʻa ʻiate au.

Naʻá ku kiʻi tuʻu, pea fonu hoku lotó ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei. Naʻá ku lotu ki he Tamai Hēvaní ke tāpuakiʻi au mo ʻeku tamaí ke ma kātaki kae ʻoua kuó ma toe fetaulaki mo ʻeku faʻeé. Naʻá ku tangi leva ʻi he fiefia mo e ʻamanaki lelei ki he fakataha nāunauʻia ko ia ʻoku fakafaingamālieʻi ʻi he Toetuʻu ʻa e Fakamoʻuí.
ʻOku ou ongoʻi houngaʻia lahi ki he Tamai Hēvaní ko e palani ʻo e fakamoʻuí. Naʻe fakamamahi e mālōlō ʻeku faʻeé, ka kuo “folo hifo hoku mamahí ʻi he fiefia ʻa Kalaisí” (ʻAlamā 31:38). ʻOku ou houngaʻia kiate Ia. ʻOkú ne fakafoʻou ʻeku ʻamanaki lelei ʻi he moʻui ka hoko maí. ʻOku mahuʻinga lahi ange ʻEne Toetuʻú kiate au he taimí ni ʻi ha toe taimi kimuʻa.
