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 for our friend, Bruce. He is the father of one of oldest ds's friends and a great guy. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor about 3 weeks ago and had surgery to remove it. Fortunately it was benign, but he had a stroke during recovery and is still in the hospital with lots of recovery ahead. he cannot speak or swallow or protect his airway, so has a trach tube, and can only move one side. but he understands when spoken to and responds with thumbs up or down.
He is only about 45 yrs old and has 2 teenagers.
thanks
Karen T

I'm praying, Karen. Our extended family has had loved ones with brain tumors and stroke...so difficult.

Love,

Thanks for your prayers. Bruce is doing a little better, starting to move his other side just a bit. He still has a very long road ahead. I know his family is just exhausted.
