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.

Maria Ashwell just called me from the hospital where she's been admitted. She's having complications at 34 weeks and they are discerning early delivery. Please pray for wisdom, grace, and strength for all.

UPDATE: Elizabeth just called and is trying to make her way to the hospital to provide prayers and support for Maria. It looks as though an urgent C-section is imminent this afternoon. The baby is at 34 weeks and Maria is quite worried. Please pray for Maria, the baby, and the attending medical staff.

New Update: The OB is agreeable to a trial of labor, so an induction is underway. My friends in the NICU are on alert and awaiting Maria's little boy. Pray!
