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.

Just wanted to let y'all know that those of you with college-bound students ... we're praying for you all! Our Catie goes off to Ave Maria next Thursday, but I know some have started or are getting ready to head out ... prayers for safe travels, discernment of God's will for each and everyone, and safety and strength during the college sojourn!

Hugs from us all here!

My niece leaves this weekend for U-Penn

I'm praying for those leaving and those left behind.

Praying for all of your loved ones as they go off to college. Please remember my son, who will be returning to UMBC, and my daughter who is taking Eng. 101 at community college for her senior English. Thanks.

Peace,
Nancy

We drove my daughter Clare to Thomas Aquinas College yesterday.
My son Brendan has started classes at the nearest community college which is still 50 miles away. Pray for his safe travels back and forth.

Praying for everyone's child!

Thank you for those prayers. My older two have to travel over a lake/bridge to the next town each day.
They started back this past Monday.

I'm praying for all your college students as well. Be assured of that.

#1 ds is senior at MI State, but now #2 ds is a freshman at St. Vincent in PA, which is a long drive from here! Already missing him!

Mary, a friend from our hs group had her dd at FUS for three years, before her dd decided to enterhere this month.

God Bless,

I've been praying for all our college-bound kids, Mary. How exciting for Catie! Wow, so many homeschooling kids growing up! It's and at the same time.

I'm praying for all of your precious ones as they embark on this new chapter! My niece goes to U-Pitt tomorrow, and various other nieces and nephews will be beginning college again soon too.

Praying for ALL who are going, those who are staying, and all of the parents too! May God truly be blessed in whatever path they choose!

No kidding! I just heard from a dear friend that her 2nd son decided this summer that he had enough credits so he left on Friday (with his brother) so they could both start at Belmont Abbey! And they're rooming together!

She's happy-ish as she put it ... it'd be hard to lose both at the same instant!
