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 will miss all of you these first 10 days of Lent. I've enjoyed getting to know all of you and have really been blessed by your friendship and encouragement.

You can bet I'll be looking through the archives while the boards are closed.

I pray that you will all have extra time to draw nigh unto the Lord and that the Holy Spirit will bring truth and revelation to you during this Lenten season. I know that for myself I will be continuing to pray for the Lord to refine and prune areas in my life that need to be changed.

God Bless you and much love,
Theresa

Isn't that funny Theresa...
I've been feeling like I have to say goodbye before the ten day hiatus begins.

I'll miss you all as well!

Well Theresa, Lent has already started here in Australia - it is mid morning, and in usual fashion with penitential days IT HAS BEEN A SHOCKER! (If I don't laugh, I might cry! ) Everything imaginable that could go wrong, has been, but at least I have something to offer up (that I haven't chosen - the best type the saints would say! )

God bless you all over the next 10 days and look forward to sharing the rest of the lenten season with everyone when we are back up posting again!

"Pruning" is a great word Theresa! God Bless you too!

I feel like I have to say goodbye too. I am trying to keep off the forums for the whole of Lent. I feel like I am saying goodbye to very good friends for 6 weeks - feel all emotional.

Hugs to all and a blessed Lenten season.

Did I miss something? Why the first 10 days? Oh, and if the boards are closed 10 days, I'll miss you all too....
