Rest in Love Ik Lioe

Sewaktu kelas IV SD, Lili pindah ke Sidoarjo jadi Ik Lioe yang banyak mengurusi sampai akhirnya Ik Lioe pindah ke Jakarta. Ik Lioe menyuruh berbicara menggunakan bahasa Indonesia, bukan bahasa Jawa.

Lili dibaptis Katolik tahun 1989, di hari ulang tahun ik Lioe. Sewaktu kuliah di Bogor, ik Lioe masih di Jakarta, jadi Lili beberapa kali menginap di tempatnya. Pernah terapi jus bersama selama seminggu: minum jus wortel ditambah jus buah lain untuk detoksifikasi badan.

Sewaktu Ayoeng dan Lili membuka dealer Sara Lee di tahun 1999, di ruko milik Ik Tjien di Tulungagung, di sebelah Ik Lioe, jadi diurus ik Lioe lagi. Ketika dealer tidak berkembang sesuai yang diharapkan, Lili memutuskan bekerja di Surabaya sehingga sekitar sebulan sekali ke Tulungagung untuk memantau dealer sampai akhirnya ditutup.

Ik Lioe biasanya membuatkan kue ulang tahun dengan ditambah camilan lain termasuk dikirim dengan travel. Kalo dikunjungi, pasti disiapkan lumpia dan rujak buah kesukaan Lili, masih ditambah oleh-oleh yang banyak sekali.

Setelah menjadi suster Maryknoll, Lili selalu menyempatkan untuk mengunjungi ik Lioe ketika pulang termasuk 2025.  Meski sudah tidak membuat lumpia, ik Lioe masih menyediakan lumpia di samping membawakan oleh-oleh.

Terima kasih ik Lioe untuk semua perhatian dan kasih selama ini.
Beristirahatlah dalam Kasih!

Christmas Letter 2025 (updated on Jan 17, 2026)

 Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, 

Christmas greetings from New York!

How is your Christmas celebration?  Hopefully all of you have a lovely Christmas celebration with family and friends.

            I attended the Christmas Eve Mass at Our Lady of Martyr: https://ourladyqueenofmartyrs.org/, Christmas Day Mass at Transfiguration Church: https://www.transfigurationnyc.org/, Christmas celebration with Chinese community at St. Mary's Nativity - St. Ann https://marynatstann.org/, Indonesian Mass of Holy Family Feast Day and Christmas celebration at Resurrection Ascension Church Resurrection-Ascension Parish - Rego Park, NY

            I donated my 28th platelet donation on Dec 27: Anastasia Maryknoll: Poster: Blood Donation (updated on Dec 3, 2025)

Since there is a need for a Putonghua training on Marriage Preparation Program, I organized an online training besides online Marriage Preparation Program:

1. Anastasia Maryknoll: Sharing: Online Training on Marriage Preparation Program for Chinese Sisters

2. Anastasia Maryknoll: Sharing: 2025 Online Putonghua Marriage Preparation Program (updated on Dec 6, 2025)  The 62th couple finished the program this month and several couple didn't finish it.

The tea party at Love Cafe is still continued mostly on Saturday evening to celebrate the life and mission of our sisters: Anastasia Maryknoll: Sharing: 2025 Love Cafe (updated on Dec 13, 2025).  The 80^th tea party was held on Dec 30, 2025.  I set up the Pro-Life Nativity:  https://americanfaith.com/pro-life-nativity-vatican/ at Love Cafe.

I joined research as healthy volunteer besides signed for organ, body, brain and spinal cord donation: Anastasia Maryknoll: Sharing: Healthy Volunteer for Research

As my first R1 visa was expired, I went to Hong Kong for the R1 visa interview, to Shenzhen while waiting the to pick up the passport and then went to Indonesia. Since this year is my 18^th anniversary as a Maryknoll Sister, double 18th of Sacrament of Initiation and triple 18th of human experiences, I named all the trips as a Safari of Gratitude including trips to New York City, Dallas, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington DC:

1. Anastasia Maryknoll: Sharing: Safari of Gratitude in Hong Kong (updated on Jun 22, 2025)

2. Anastasia Maryknoll: Sharing: Safari of Gratitude in Shenzhen （updated on Oct 4, 2025)

3. Anastasia Maryknoll: Sharing: Safari of Gratitude in Indonesia (updated on Jun 22, 2025)

4. Anastasia Maryknoll: Sharing: Safari of Gratitude in USA (updated Dec 2, 2025)

 

Several coincidences that happened this year, including getting consolation after "the excitement of Treasurer and community life", continue to be a reminder of Emmanuel, God with us, in my journey as a Pink Maryknoll Sister: doing simple things with simple love to make God's love visible.

This Christmas letter is the 619^th article on my blog and the pictures are available on the bottom of the article.  Here is the link for several pictures at Maryknoll Sisters Center and nearby:

Thank you very much for your gifts, support, love and prayers during 2025!   I do appreciate it.

New York, December 24th, 2025

With love and prayers,

 

 

Sr. Anastasia B. Lindawati, M.M.
