Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Praying for God's holy will in this, Emily. But also putting in a request that he can be with his family if at all possible. Going to Our Lady for her intercession...
Blessings,

Yay! That's good news (though it would be nice if he had a longer stint at home!!!). Praying for him, and that the flights may bring him home for Thanksgiving!

And praying for your DH too, Mary Chris!

Sorry he won't make it home til December, Emily...but how light your heart must feel that he will be close to home for 2 years!!! I'm rejoicing, and continue to pray for your family, John, and all our military families who give so generously on our behalf!

I'm really smiling thinking of Mary Chris' upcoming reunion!!!

Continuing to pray for your time apart (and very sorry that it's extended!), but it's great news that he'll be home for a while when he comes back! May Our Blessed Mother hold him safe until then.
