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.

Brian got some rather upsetting news today. He went for an intensive eye exam as part of his Diaconate preparation. We knew his vision wasn't great, but apparently, he's got a severe malformation of both eyes which will surely lead to a tearing of the retinas and surgery.

Praise God, this doctor is tops in the field and will be following Brian closely to prevent major disaster, blindness, and a very scary surgery. He will still likely need some kind of surgery at some point in the future, but - please God - less traumatic than two weeks face down on his stomach recovering.

Please pray that he will progress slowly, or be spared altogether.

St. Lucia, pray for us!
