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 pray once again for my husband's sister. As many of you know, she recently separated from her husband. Two nights ago she was up all night having panic attacks. Her girls are crying all the time and her oldest doesn't want to go to school. They've started counseling, but can only go every few weeks (I don't know if that is a scheduling or insurance issue) and it's clearly not enough. She is very unhappy about every aspect of her life and sees this separation as proof she is a failure. Her health is another difficulty; she needs thyroid medication and won't go get it, and won't take her depression meds unless she is having a panic attack (which means she isn't taking them in an effective way).

Please pray for her and for my m-i-l, who gets all the late night phone calls.

Thanks.

Nancy -

Your sister-in-law and nieces, as well as your mother-in-law, and you and your husband are in my prayers. This is a very sad situation all around.

Peace,
Nancy

I will certainly pray for your family. I can relate to not taking the medication. My sweet husband does the same thing. He only takes it when he has his panic attacks ,like that's going to work. This must be so tough on the the kids. I will offer up our Rosary for them tonight.

God bless you.
