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.

Marie has been anxiously waiting to received "the letter" in the mail from the University of Pittsburgh, her first choice of colleges. She's been accepted elsewhere, but Pitt is where her heart is.

Yesterday she received a letter from Pitt stating she has been "deferred". Simply put, t means she is still under consideration for admission, however, due to the volume of qualified applicants, over 20,000 with only 3,400 spaces available, files must be reviewed individually....etc.

They have given her ideas on ways to help her application, which she will follow up on...however, I know prayer will be her greatest help.

Please pray that if it is God's will for her to attend Pitt in the fall, she is accepted. And, if not, for God's grace to cover her so she is able to accept that decision.

Thank you for helping me out on this one .

If you need more, and you want me to review her work, I'd be glad to do so. Hey, I finished ours, and I'm looking for more to do, don't you know?
