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, on his way home from Benedictine College, the 20 year-old son of a family from the school my children attended, went missing. He apparently slipped off a bridge into the Missouri river trying to avoid an oncoming tractor trailer. He and the others from the vehicle were stopped and outside the vehicle because they had just been in a fender bender. His body has not yet been recovered.

He has 12 siblings and wonderful parents. He attended seminary for one semester before transferring to Benedictine. He was a gentle, prayerful young man who loved the Lord. His mother is a woman of amazing faith. His father works as the Office Manager of MIL's parish. Please pray for them all. Here is a link to a story about them.
