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.

UPDATE from Mary:

I spoke with Mary on the phone. She's still with her dad and her family. Though her dad's condition seems stable, he does seem very close to death. He is no longer conscious, though he has opened his eyes when a priest visits. (Isn't that amazing!) Mary tells of many beautiful graces that are evident surrounding this mysterious time with her dad.

All of Mary's siblings, save one sister, are there with her mom and dad right now. Mary's sister and their children flew in and will arrive this afternoon.

Mary wanted to convey how grateful she is for all of your prayers! I know she appreciates continued prayers during this time.
