Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I am at violin lessons, but, thankfully, able to check email. This message just arrived from Helen's husband:

"Ave Maria! Colette Grace was born at 2:40pm, after a 6 hr labor. She weighs 7lbs 14oz and looks great! She is already nursing peacefully. Helen has a tremendous sense of relief and is doing great. Thank you for your prayers!"

Welcome to this beautiful blessing from God!

Our Lady of Altagracia, pray for us!
St. Colette, pray for us!
