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'm very worried about my mom, dad, and sister.
Mom's 52 and works as an aide in public school and she is very overworked and very underpaid - its affecting her health and she is so very tired mentally, physically, and emotionally...
Dad has always worked at home, but very little money has come in the past years and mom has the burden of being the "breadwinner".
My sister is in college and lives with them.
For years they have lived on less than 1000.00 a month.
I cannot begin to say all the problems in this home where God is almost absent... yelling, disrespect to eachother, anger, and its coming to a high point right now...
My sister has several phobias, has lost her faith, and is so selfish and obnoxious that she has never had
any friends, not one single friend since gradeschool. I'm very worried about all of them. Please pray for miracles to happen in their lives.
My sister and father pretty much can't stand me, so anything I try to do to help is lost.

Thanks so much. I have confidence in your prayers.

"so anything I try to do to help is lost"

We can always pray! We'll remember your family in our rosary today, Robin.

Blessings,

Dear Robin,

We will also pray for you and your family during our Family Rosary tonight and I'm sending up some prayers right now as well...It is so hard to watch our loved ones struggle...but prayer is the answer...

Oh Robin, this situation leads to such a feeling of helplessness . Yet, your love, concern, and prayers are SO important! Sometimes God calls us to work from the sidelines...quietly...patiently...being conduits for His grace. For those of us who are "do-ers" by nature (is that ALL home educating mothers?) it can be very hard to feel that we aren't "doing" anything, that we can't change things NOW. How I have struggled with this! I'll pray for you and your family, that you can find peace during this difficult time. Please keep us posted.
