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.

Praying Chris improves, and that whatever God's will may be you may all feel peace.

Thank you all for your generous prayers!!!! My family appreciates them so much!

Just wanted to take a minute to offer an update.

Chris is now home and resting comfortably. Deo gratias! He continues to take small steps of improvement and we're grateful he's home and comfortable. There are hints that the fog surrounding his thoughts may be lifting, and we remain hopeful and prayerful that this is so.

It's wonderful to be out of the hospital, and there is a palpable exhale of relief from all of us in being in the comfortable surroundings of home.

Thanks be to God for His rich mercy and the unspeakable gift in the tender comfort of Our Blessed Mother. He never leaves us alone on this walk.

Dear friends, your prayers have meant so much to me over the last few days! So very much!!!
