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.

Last week I began IV drips of the drug Rituxan for a flare of my long-standing auto-immune disease (dermatomyositis). Four years ago Rituxan worked like a wonder drug for me and then stopped working. My new rheumatologist thinks it's worth trying again, along with a chemo (methotrexate), cortisone and quarterly IV immune globulins. I try many alternative healing methods also. I have asked prayers for this intention before, and lacked humility or faith or plain-old energy to come before you again.

Please pray the IV starts are few and the flare ends soon

Victoria,
I hope you knew that our family was already praying for you. I am so happy that you posted a prayer request again here where you will get some extra prayers and offerings.
You are a wonderful witness to the beauty and joy of accepting one's cross. We continue to pray, especially to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, for your treatments to give you relief from your pain.
Hugs to you!

Dear Victoria, I feel for you greatly, autoimmune diseases are hard to live with and often to treat, I have always gone down an alternative path with my autoimmune health issues and I will pray that your current treatment with give you relief but that you will find the perfect, longterm answers for this condition.

God Bless, Anne
