Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

A little while back I asked for prayers here

I'm happy to report that my BIL and SIL had the merriest Christmas ever as they were chosen as adoptive parents for a baby girl who was born on the 23rd. She's a 5lb preemie and is on a feeding tube in the NICU but everything else is looking great and I'm glad to have a niece to whom I can give the NB clothes that my 3week old is already grown out of!

ETA: What makes this even more special is that we've been praying Fulton Sheen prayer for babies in danger of abortion since the Feast of the Annunciation. This baby's mom had an abortion scheduled but changed her mind!!!
