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.

How marvel-ous and awe-some! Thank you for sharing.

P.S. I turned 40 on the Assumption this year.    But your celebration is much more exciting.

Hope you are feeling tremendous joy---a dear priest used to say to us, "your soul is as beautiful as it was on the day of your baptism"!

THanks for all your prayers!! It was a special blessing. I had a wonderful very old very kind priest and he also gave me the sacrament of healing too! I am soo glad that i went. It took much more energy to hold onto judgement than to go to confession. I plan on continuing to go regulary. I find that it is harder for me to forgive myself, and this allows me to aceept the forgiveness of Jesus and let go!!1
ALl your prayers were definitly felt and i thank you soo much!!!
