Pope John Paul II in the Encyclical on missions; “Redemptoris Missio” wrote such words: “The testimony of Christian life is the first and irreplaceable form of mission.”
“The evangelical witness to which the world is more sensitive is paying attention to people and love shown to the poor and the little ones who suffer. ” (R.M., point 42)
So each of us is a missionary in our environment in which we live and fulfill our apostolate.
I am grateful to God that again after a 3-year break, I can serve in missions of our Congregation and Church, this time in the Philippines, in the capital of the country, Manila.
It is a huge city of 20 million people created from the merger of 16 adjacent cities. I think that here, more than anywhere else, you can observe the existing contrasts on various levels.The first is both conspicuous wealth and poverty – often extreme.
You can see beautiful rich houses, shopping malls, skyscrapers and streets like from movies of American districts, and a few kilometers away shantytowns and slums, people living in barracks – huts made of leftovers found in a garbage can, without access to water, electricity and current, in an area that looks like one huge garbage can.
Some families with children live directly on the street or under a tree or bridge or in the cemetery.The second contrast is Filipino Catholicism. On the one hand, over 90 percent of people are Catholics and you can see religiosity outside, e.g. in a supermarket at noon through megaphones the Angelus prayer is conducted, and at 3 p.m. prayer to the Divine Mercy, each motorbike and cars you will find a rosary, almost every house has figurines and religious paintings, and on the other hand, a small percentage of Catholics attend Mass, almost all of them.They receive Holy Communion, and confession is hardly ever said, as evidenced by it no confessions in a typical parish church. LGBT propaganda stayed that way strongly accepted by society that people with a different sexual orientation manifest their otherness completely freely and are not even heard in the church Christian teaching on the subject. Many couples live without getting married and quickly break up, creating new relationships. And in civil law, divorce is not granted, only one can apply for marriage annulment. The abortion law is also restrictive, i.e. a total ban. Until some 15 years ago, the Philippines was full of priestly and religious vocations, and nowadays there is a huge vocational crisis. A lot of religious congregations – especially there are no completely new pleasures for women, and what is worse, many Filipino sisters are leaving religious life.Unfortunately, our Congregation also has not yet lived to see local slowdowns, though strenuous prayers and participation in numerous vocational activities on various islands of the country. We are currently waiting for the arrival of candidate Rachel, who is unable to travel due to the pandemic. Our sisters here in Manila have undertaken various missions and apostolates as a center tutorial for girls, kindergarten, catechesis at school and other activities for the benefit of the local society. When I joined the community two years ago, sister Martyna introduced me to for several years she has been carrying out an apostolate in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Manila – Payatas, just a few kilometers from our home.
It is a trash district where rubbish is brought from all over the city and a large proportion of the people living in the city, segregates rubbish in conditions that degrade people dignity, too meager, the lowest wage, enough for a little rice for the family. That is why in this district a large number of people, especially children, are malnourished, which results in high mortality – especially in children. For this reason, the sisters considered it right to start the so-called feeding programs for children,which is also run by the parish under which this poor area inhabited by 100 people. Using the experience of the local parish, we first choose the place where it is most poor families with children, often it is an ordinary square or chapel area, we visit these families, at the same time enrolling children in the program, it is a group of up to 50 children – depending on the funds obtained for a given program. Every day from mothers of these children prepare a warm, nutritious meal from Monday to Friday fruits, thus learning how to properly nourish these children, and we coordinate this work and give the children vitamins. Such programs also include, in addition to the meal, which is the main focus, also educational activities for children and catechesis. We first conduct a prayer with the children, often sung, then a short catechesis on a selected topic, and then educational activities depending on the age of children: pre-school, school, learning English. Children eagerly participate in the activities, because it is a time for them, where they are surrounded by care, attention and love that they often don’t have in the family. Mothers also help us with organization of classes and meals. Such a program lasts 6 months, then we look for a nother places to look after and help as many families as possible. Through close contact with children, we also get to know their families and problems by visiting often their homes. This is an opportunity to come to the rescue as far as possible specific, difficult situation. It is often help with getting medicine or getting to hospital.Sister Barbara was very moved by the conditions in which these families often live -wet, dirty barracks, without water and light, with a group of small children, she collected from her own friends some money and managed to buy 3 houses for 3 families with children. Now that we visit these families you can see a big difference in the lives of these families. They hope for a better future, they also try to take care of the family more, children go to school, they are there clean and tidy, the house becomes beautiful and the joy of guests is on their faces. We collect funds for this apostolate from benefactors from Poland, Germany and other countries and church organizations. Every Saturday we organize meetings for children from the neighborhood at our house.The Main goal is to teach children Christian values, catechesis and spending profitable and joyful time. About 50 children come, sometimes more.
We are assisted in these activities by the vicar priest from our parish, who leads catechesis in .local language – Tagalog. Children have a multimedia presentation and drawing classes connected with catechesis, then various games and activities, and finally a modest, warm meal, without which in the Philippines it is impossible to conduct a successful meeting. We also provide assistance in education to a small group of high school youth, leading the so-called scholarship (something like a scholarship). They are the poorest youth from the area families. In return for this help, they volunteer during Saturday meetings with children and help with various housework. They have also been provided by us for spiritual formation. The current time of the pandemic has forced us to limit our external action, but I trust that everything is in God’s Hands and that everything will soon be back to normal. Through prayer and sacrifice, as Jesus teaches us, we can sometimes do more than with our hands. May God be glorified in everything! Please pray for the missions, including those in the Philippines, that we can continue here in the Philippines and God grant to other Asia countries the missionary work of Koscius and our Congregation.
With greetings and prayer for all mission friends

In the retirement home St. Katharina in Treis-Karden the choir director, Sr. M. Ursula Potulski, tells the story of how this came about extraordinary choirs:
„The rusty throats“ were created at the suggestion of an employee at one Advent celebration 2013. It took until September 2014 until we got on 14.09.2014 with 16 residents of our senior citizens house and the daughter-in-law of a resident, Mrs. Löhr, who was able to hold the 1st choir rehearsal. We rehearsed autumn songs for the autumn festival and had success. When we went for the rehearsal of Advent celebrations, it was harder to find beautiful songs than it should be Advent and not yet Christmas chorus. Mrs. Löhr really liked helping me. She played our wish songs from CD’s and copied the texts. Also the employees of the administration and the social service have always supported me. I could always come and ask if they’d read lyrics from songs for me, print among other things .. The employees even designed and helped us with the song folders Cover sheet and empty sleeves provided so that I always have the old songs taken out and insert the new sheets. During various times, Ms. Löhr directed the choir on hospital stays or rehabilitation of mine, otherwise it would not have continued. Our repertoire includes film Melodies from the 20s – 60s, operetta melodies and musicals and of course also folk songs. For Mother’s Day 2015 we gave a one-hour concert and everyone was very excited. This year our 6th Mother’s Day concert should have taken place, but Corona has interrupted our plans. Our last choir rehearsal was on March 9th, 2020. Of course we also sang at Holy Mass on some public holidays and the Singers have always been very proud of it. A special event for us was when we recorded a CD. It was very exciting for us, because 2 employees from the recording studio came to us. 12 Songs were recorded and we had to sing each song twice. It was very exhausting for the singers, but they were very proud when the people praised them for their perseverance and clear pronunciation.
The television was also with us and broadcast for 1 minute through our choir. 3 years ago we sang at the parish festival, where we had a “musical Italy trip “, with songs like:” Come with me to Italy “, “O mia bella Napoli”, “Wenn bei Capri ..” etc. with the song “Arrivederci Roma” all singers waved an Italian flag. It was a great success.
By the way, when we perform in choirs we wear reddish-brown scarves to match the names. Our nursing manager got us these scarves. Our names were created by the residents themselves, who said their voice was now rusty.
Yes, and now we are not allowed to sing at all, neither choir rehearsals nor singing circles in worship. It’s a shame and the residents always ask: when we are finally singing again.

Dear Mission friends,
Best warm regards from Tanzania. Six years have passed in my missionary work in Tanzania, where I was sent by my Congregation of the Sisters of Mary Immaculate. I currently live and work in Dar es Salaam. I am involved in the kindergarten, ST. ANGELS DAY CARE CENTER, I take care of the supply and the economic side of the facility by working with the Tanzanian, Sister Angela who is the director.
Dar es Salaam is a port city that is still developing. Since I came to this country, I notice new roads, more and more cars. Rail transport for both passengers and luggage is developing. Not only our city, but the whole country is developing dynamically. Our Congregation has been present in Tanzania since 1973. Our concern is directed primarily to children, young people and women, but also to all those in need. We have been in Dar es Salaam since 2001. At first it was only catechesis in nearby schools and work in the parish. In 2006, the construction of a nursery was started in order to take care of children and thus enable young mothers to work. Before the construction was completed, it turned out that a kindergarten was more needed. And so it happened, a kindergarten was built, which is still functioning today.
The first group of children was only seven, but the school year ended with 36. Every year the number of children increases. This year we have 120 preschoolers. They are children of different kinds of life and faith.
Some children live at a considerable distance from the kindergarten, so they use the transport offered by our school. The school means of transport is an old bus that breaks down frequently. This makes the organization of school activities difficult and is also very expensive. The kindergarten is increasingly feeling the obstacles related to vehicle repair. We’re trying to raise funds for a newer bus.
The cost of the new car is $ 40,000.
I applied to MIVA POLSKA for funding ($ 15,000) and to the Polish Embassy in Tanzania ($ 12,000). For our goal to be reached, we need another $ 13,000. We save on expenses, but it is still not enough, we count on the gift of the heart and the support of our friends. Together we can do more, give Tanzanian children an opportunity for education.
With cordial greetings, remembrance in prayer

In Tanzania, after religious ceremonies (sisters’ profession, novitiate and postulate), we begin another year of formation. Earlier, I wrote about planning these celebrations, now I will give some information about their course.
After the spiritual preparation in which we were helped by the retreat, we started preparations in organizing the celebration. This year, due to the pandemic. The celebrations were somewhat cumulative in place and time. Everything took place in Chikukwe in two days. This “intense” celebration, however, had its own special charm.
The immediate preparations were also, in a sense, another celebration – a holiday community and good cooperation. Sisters who came from other communities also helped work for celebrations. Each was given some responsibility: for example, Sr. Anna (the postulate mistress) and Sr. Yasinta (the superior of the Nunciature) were responsible for making mandazi and pilau (traditional food that cannot be missed in Tanzania during big occasions). Sr. Ksavera novice mistress was baking bread and bananas with meat. I was assigned to undress the meat preparation (Bull and chickens).
Sr. Franciska, Superior of Nanjota decorated the chapel and was responsible for the liturgy together with Sr. Miriam. Of course there was a lot of fun during this work, but in moderation, because we wanted to respect the concentration of the sisters who prepared themselves spiritually for their great day.
On the day of the celebration of August 28, for some, the wake up time was even at 2:00 A.M. for others at 4.00 AM to be in time with the cooking and final work by morning at 6.30. After common prayers, during the Holy mass four were accepted into the novitiate, postulants who took new names: Sr. Eliana, Sr. Prisca, Sr. Diana, Sr. Grace. In Tanzania, the external sign of novitiate admission is the habit and the white veil. For novices it is always a very important moment because it is visible to everyone change – not only in their lives, but even in appearance. Habits and veils were blessed by Bishop and blessed our new sisters who now, through daily work, prayer, the study of the Word of God and our Constitutions, but above all through ones common living in joys and problems will prepare themselves to confirm their intention to dedicate one’s life to God in a religious community.
After the photo session in beautiful, new habits and a quick but common one for breakfast, there was the last singing attempt under the watchful eye of Sr. Anna.
At 10.00 a solemn mass began with three novices: Sr.M. Stefania, Sr.M. Emilia, Sr.M. MarcelIna,made their first religious vows. And Sr. M. Regina, Sr. M. Clelia, Sr. M. Innocencia, Sr M. Theodora, made their perpetual vows. The liturgy of the Holy Mass itself lasted two and half hours. Probably this time will fall deep in the hearts of these sisters, the time of the wedding with Christ and total surrender to Him. This moment is never forgotten!
Remembering this moment, I think accompanies each of us, no matter what religious internship and helps us through difficult times in our ministry and in spiritual development. These solemn and beautiful celebrations aroused a lot in us joy in the present moment, with new sisters, but also with many memories of our own celebration.
After the beautiful liturgy and the satisfaction of the first hunger, there was an artistic part, during which novices and juniors performed various songs, dances and skits. Looking at them, how joyfully they entertained us, I wondered when they had have prepared? After all, there was so much other work before the celebrations. Singing and dancing are an inseparable element of all celebrations in Africa.
When celebrating, it’s hard to do without singing and dancing. Anyway, one thing entails second. How to sing without moving to the beat of the music? How to move rhythmically without drums?
I think that the dance is a mirror of our sisters’ interior. Both this one during liturgy and recreation. The next day, five candidates in Nanjota were admitted to the postulate.
For myself, this time of celebration is always a great joy because I can see how the Congregation lives and grows here. I am grateful to God that I can participate in celebrations that are slowly being forgotten in Poland as a result of lack of vocations. Then I remember my veills, my first and perpetual vows.
It is also a moment of reflection on my zeal and faithfulness to God.
Let us be grateful to God for every vocation in Tanzania.

“Trust God, He has a better plan for you”
One phone call asking: “Sister, could you help work in Żerniki, where the women are infected with the virus? ‘ My answer was, “Yes, I would like to.” I know the house in Żerniki and I worked with disabled children, so for me the work did not scare me, but I had thoughts in my head about how it would work meet these ladies, their names and take care of them? Who else will help? Will there be employees? Despite these questions bothering me, I had peace in my heart and joy that I will be able to help and trust that God will take care of everything. Many of us seem to have a hard time, struggling with some difficulties every day, we complain, we do not have something, that our superiors “tell us to do something” or they also decide for us in certain matters. Sometimes I also complain, every day little things grow into big problems, some limitations which dictates the religious life whether the superiors are “burdensome”. The reality I found after arriving in Żerniki, it allowed me to change at some things in my life otherwise.
The people I took care of endure everything with great patience, without more complaining and resistance, although their everyday life does not fill us with optimism. Our pupils do not have much influence on how this day will run. They depend almost entirely on their guardians – someone has to help them dress, help to the toilet, feed them or even go to the doctor and explain what hurts. The caregivers choose what to eat and what shoes they have for them what kind of deodorant to use. I must admit that it is sometimes hard physically and emotionally. We work for 12 hours a day, in overalls, masks, shoe covers, exercising same activities every day. Routine, fatigue, inner struggle so as not to complain. What gives strength? Unity and mutual cooperation, an interview with sisters, sharing joys and difficult things, mutual help. One smile of the student, without front teeth – real, sincere; look straight in the eyes, from a person who cannot speak, a gesture of nodding his head in evidence gratitude for the meal served, for help in bathing; hug, rest her head on my shoulder with the words “sister I love you” – he can compensate for ones painful legs and fatigue, all the toil. Another time, a girl who comes by after breakfast and gives me a drawing with the image of Merciful Jesus, under which she wrote herself “Jesus, I trust in You” – the tears came to my eyes. Think – Jesus is with me, I have to trust, He is here among these girls, he is in them, He gives strength. One day, during lunch, I notice a moment when one of the women holds the bowl to the less able friend who was sitting next to her, helping her to take the soup. It might seem like an “insignificant gesture”, but how it touched my heart. From them you can learn to be sensitive and perceive the needy.
When I feel tired, have a headache after work, I look at the girl who walks with the image of Jesus, she stares at it, kisses with great tenderness. It makes me wonder how my love for Jesus is. You may ask yourself: Where is God in all of this? After all these women are sick, doomed and dependent on others. Well, it’s in all of these situations, small gestures, in a smile, in a look, in children’s joy, sensitivity.
It is not always the way we plan, invent or dream. You can rebel, get angry, complain, but you can also look for meaning in change plans of your life, adapt to the new situation, because everything it is God who knows better what is best for us. The time spent between these women is one of the most beautiful moments in the last months of my life.

Time…
Message, thought, moment… and decision
The world of people with disabilities has always been with me. In the family home, in School…
But never so much when after the first year of life with my nephew diagnosed with disability. The call to God echoed. So and faith weakened, followed by the question of the “sense” of calling. Is it really a way of life monastic, since God … so absent.
I don’t think the smile, joy and love that this child brought into our family’s life allowed to doubt until the end. I quickly discovered in it “a different, spiritual world” – beautiful and inaccessible even to me – a nun.
Time passed and a lot happened. Sometimes I was able to help my sister in accompanying her and her son in subsequent hospital stays. In Wrocław in the hospital in the neurological ward, I met a boy with a beautiful smile, and a snow-whiteblonde hair, with an extremely severe, painful disease. Everyone was talking to me that it is “Sisters child.” I was surprised and I asked: “what is it?” It turned out to be a boy from our home in Piszkowice. Such a little creature has stolen my heart again. Yes, it was “my child” – our sisters, my sisters from Piszkowice. This the short meeting remained firmly in my heart.
When there was a request for help at home in Piszkowice in August because of the virus, it was obvious to me that I wanted, even had to. Unfortunately
the circumstances in which I received this message made it impossible for me to help “immediately”. When the Provincial Sister asked for help in our home in Żerniki … Oh … “they are not children anymore”, it was in my head. It was harder for me to make a decision as soon as before. Not even now I can fully explain how it happened that I am here. I don’t think so I analyzed and did not ask for details of the work. Well. I will. And that’s it. I was glad to hear about the sisters who were to be there with me. We like each other meet in our “senior” group. The first moments of our joint work – white foils, which we had to wear awkwardly from head to toe, mask and gloves… they were holding our breath. And how to work in it …? Not at all like to stand in front of a sick person in foil …? 12 hours of work every day, Saturday, Sunday and the awareness that no one will name us yet, that we were left alone in foreign land, home, work, people. Those were difficult moments.
The first day of work in these clothes, as I call them – lasted ages. But it came the first evening and the joy of being able to download it and the prospect rest…. This joy was short-lived because a new joy came …
Evening and a half-night meeting with the Sisters. We did not know how to “talk”. So many thoughts, so many things. We shared our fears and fears with what was ahead of us and the “How…? How can we do it? So many new things to work with these women. We didn’t remember anymore most of the information – who sleeps where, whether they are “mixed”, are they calm … One of the sisters interjects with the question “is M pampers smaller than L? “And many others…, but one thing was sure in each us, was the prayers of our sisters and the certainty of God’s presence, because “where two or three are in My name, there I am among them” Mt 18:20
The next days were meeting time. Time to meet God himself. Live present in our midst and in each of us. God present above all in our sick girls. I felt that I was making friends with girls. That I hug, ever stronger, more honest and that I want their good from my heart. God is so close here, at your fingertips. Through someone’s washed face, through dinner served, washing the floor… Every smile and gesture of these women. “Sister, I love you,” repeats Agnes, an inhabitant of the local house. At first, I usually heard these words, then I felt them inside me they live as they also become mine … “I love you Agnes … I love you Girls…”.
In the church, they are her heart, It can be a hand, a leg … but they are the most important ones and precious part of her that touches God’s heart.

“O Lord, I love the house where you live and the place where your glory dwells” Ps. 26.8
This fragment accompanied me when I started volunteering in Żerniki. We prayed with Him during the noon prayers of the breviary. After arrival, Looking at the women who were here, I knew that this place, God was here. It is His home and I can be here. Working in this place teaches me to respect handicapped and sick women mentally. There are women with whom contact is limited: they won’t talk, won’t show, about what they mean. And one of the sisters says: they understand a lot. They are the people who deserve tremendous respect, treatment with dignity: in words and gestures. I can see being among them, like our joy, openness towards them inspires their trust, kindness, as it helps to nurture and care for them. When I met them their names became even closer to me. The initial horror of “if I can” is gone fast. We entered the rhythm of this house, which is determined here by caring for women: feeding, dressing, washing. I like the smile of these women, their laughter, I feel their gratitude, I can see how eagerly they are with us. We accompany women in their joy, sadness and fear – all of us in these feelings we’re similar. Women need so little – tenderness and an open heart, someone who looks kindly, hugs and stays with them. For them, the world is not important material, (although, like many women, they enjoy a nice blouse, beads around their necks). This to me shows that man is relational. What a person longs for the other, by touch, by a real presence. The experience of presence is strength, safety, love, this is what these women show me so touching. I’m not the only one for them, but they too for me. Being with women teaches me what is gentleness and humility. We are similar when we say the word “mama” with tenderness. Many women, even those who speak little, often repeat the word “mama”. It’s so touching that a mother is always the one closest to you. It is written deep within their hearts. Here I meet the richness of their hearts. One of the women says, “I don’t have mamma, but I have the Mother of God who is in the chapel”.
I do not know where the strength to work in me comes from, it is another day of duties after 12 hours a day. I see it as a gift. This time now is such an enrichment for me. I am glad to see my sisters with whom I can be here together. I can see how the joy of being together favors productive work, the work is smooth, and we have a lot of fun. Here all other problems fade away.

The pandemic has been prevailing in the world for a long time, but I was hoping that it would not come to us to Piszkowice, this quiet village of the Kłodzko Valley, and yet it did not forget about us, experiencing us with its existence.
It all started with the deterioration of the health of our Sister Superior Lucy. I thought this condition was related to chronic cancer and metastasis that we had known about for a long time. We knew that this transition time would come one day, but none of us expected it to come so quickly and with covid infection. The sisters also began to fall ill, but after the doctor’s visit, we calmed down a bit.
Due to the lack of improvement in the health of the sisters, despite the treatment, we decided to test all the sisters. We were waiting for the results to know about our health. The next day we heard that we were all infected except for one eldest sister. A quick decision – isolation so as not to infect children and other workers was taken. Fear gave strength to move the sisters and place them in other rooms of the house. The condition of Sister Superior Lucia was deteriorating all the time. From Tuesday, she received respiratory and pharmacological support. After receiving a positive result, Sr. Mother Superior immediately launched all contacts to help our children and employees. You could notice all the time concern about the children, us and the employees.
The disease continued to progress, her condition worsened by the hour. We watched helplessly, counting only on God’s Mercy. I did not care that I was also infected as I did not have typical symptoms, it was important for me to be with our sister. The night of August 1-2 was the worst. I was with my sister until 1:15 am, then sister Paula changed me and then the transition to the other side began. Our powerlessness, how to alleviate suffering and enormous shortness of breath … When I came in the morning around 6:05 am sister Lucy was conscious all the time, she was breathing with difficulty, she asked how long will it take, because it’s already four hours? The last spurt: “I want to go to bed” (my sister was sitting in the armchair all the time, because she had great shortness of breath due to lung metastases). At around 6:55 am, knowing the time to walk was near, I went to get the rest of the sisters. Sr. Superior Lucy was looking for us, we started the prayer, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, which she prayed so often. After the prayer, at 7:40 am, she went to the Father’s House full of peace, on the feast of the Mother of God.
Then came impotence, a moment of breakdown, what will happen to the children, how many children and workers are infected. Who will take care of who will help? We cannot, we are isolated! All that remained was a silent prayer with all of ourselves, as the disease began to give more and more symptoms. The answer came in no time. Sr. Alma from Świnoujście will come to you, she will help you. I immediately shared this message from the Provincial Sr. with the Sisters, I hope that she will be able to cope with the situation. On Saturday, after positive covid results, I only made calls to my friends asking for prayers for our intention. All the time I turned to Saint Joseph, the Founder and the late sister Lucy for help in our difficult situation. There were people who responded quickly to our request for help. Soon Sister Vianey from Branice also came to help. God, thanks to You, the situation is slowly stabilizing, but there are still no people to look after the children. I was only able to ask St. Joseph for help. As always, I was not disappointed at his intercession.
Then came the next days when we tried to pray together but we were physically unable to do so. The disease progressed from day to day in individual sisters to a different degree, they had sometimes better and sometimes worse days.
The only thing we had in common was being together for a while, or having meals together, or sitting next to each other for a while, helping, supporting each other.
Sister Lucy was a mobilization for us, her attitude of struggle, service until the end of her days, despite my impotence, I went to my sisters to be with them. Here I understood how important it is, apart from prayer, to be together with the sisters. Prayer is a very important link, but being, understanding and mutual concern of the sisters added the willingness to overcome difficulties related to the disease. There were very difficult moments, I did not know how to pray, somehow the prayer did not stick together. The Lord made me quickly understand that He was with me again. One text message I received and here a reply to my current condition, then a phone call from a friend, a clergyman and another tip: “Praise the Lord in every situation …”! And here the Lord entered again with His grace, like a father who loves his children very much, from that moment I started reading my favorite Psalms again and again and every day He gave me the answer to my given situation (Ps 38: 2-4 Ps. 46 1-4 Ps 23, 13 Ps. 28: 1-2 Ps 66, 9-11 Ps 119, 25-27 Ps 134 Ps 111 7: 9). Thanks to His word, more was coming every day.
