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.

Please don't let it be hard for you ... that's what the Body of Christ is for.

Prayers for you ....

I am overwhelmed... Your outpouring of love and sisterhood has brought me to tears. I believe I am experiencing what St. John of the Cross described as "The Dark Night of the Soul". It can be so lonely - even with so many around me who love me. Bridget was right, Lent has started early for me.

There is a loveliness in it - I'm determined to find it. I'm sure that God is drawing me closer and saying to me "Lean on Me more, for heaven's sake!". I'm certainly finding great comfort in the embrace of Our Blessed Mother.

I wanted to share something that happened last night. I was up and nursing Louis in the wee hours. While I said a silent rosary, counting the decades on my fingers, I suddenly became aware of the heady scent of roses. The fragrance became stronger with each decade. An enormous peace stole over me and I knew everything would be alright with me. I lay Louis back in his crib, and then lay there in the darkness a while longer - unable to sleep, completely alert, but completely relaxed. At some point I fell asleep and awoke this morning more refreshed than I have been in such a long time.

I'm sure that your prayers had something to do with it!
