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.

... and another!

Dear ladies -- I just got back from a teen-aged girls retreat (where MaryM and I cooked for girls that CAN EAT!). I spent more than 24 hours away from the computer and it was wonderful ... but I miss you all....

I know that I'm on a modertor's retreat right now -- and I ask you all to pray for us all and for this 4real community -- and I'm also in the midst of preparing for a knitting retreat that I'm LEADING this next weekend.

Please pray for peace on this board and a return to the wonderful, silly, caring, goofy, insightful community we all know and love.

Please also pray for the knitting retreat -- I want it to go well so that hopefully they'll ask me back again next year.

Please, too, pray for my family as I go thru this very emotional week after a very emotional, gut-wrenching last couple of weeks.

Blessings, hugs and prayers to you all!

I'm tired just reading about all you are doing. Prayers here but you have to promise me you will take a nap before you come back or I might have to take one for you!
