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.

Still praying this morning - are there any updates Elizabeth? Does your sister have a family? Storming the heavens for wisdom and peace in this suffering.


We're awaiting the full reading on the MRI. Initial reports are grim, but there is still some hope that it's benign.

My sister has a daughter (14) a son (9) and three husbands (2 "Exes" and a current). Her kids have different dads. I only mention that because these kids are going to be separated if my sister is unable to care for them and it's going to be incredibly difficult for them to be apart.

Elizabeth -
This really is a difficult situation. Thank you for letting us know a little more so that we can pray more specifically.

Peace,
Nancy

I just stopped by hoping for an update, I'll keep praying Elizabeth. Are you doing ok? And how's your mom handling this?

Praying, praying.

Praying for everyone.

I am very sorry!

I will ask my sister and her children to pray...her kids are prayer warriors (as most children are).

God bless,

Marybeth
