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.

I came across a prayer request at the FIAR boards. Apparently she (the mother) was a former member there but has since moved on to a different curriculum.

Police found their little boy late Tuesday evening. He had drowned in a pond behind the families home from what I gather.

Below is the link to the mother's blog although nothing has been posted there yet. I have visited her blog before although I was not a regular reader

Drews family blog

Here is the link to the news article.

Here is a link to a tribute with pictures of little Christian Drews

Heartbreaking, simply heartbreaking Theresa, I will pray for that poor, poor, dear mother and her family.
