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.

A dear mom to three young boys in our community is nearing the end of her long battle with spinal cancer. Hospice has been called in and she is heavily medicated, but still in a lot of pain. There will be a Eucharistic and rosary procession this afternoon from the church to her home. Please join me in praying for Suzanne and her boys today.

UPDATE: I heard from a friend who was able to make yesterday's prayer service. By the time they reached Suzanne's house, she was sitting up in bed eating dinner and laughing. She remembers nothing of the past two days. Her boys were able to spend the night at home with her. Such consolation in the midst of so much suffering. This brave mom has prepared her own children for their loss of her over the past few months in a way that has been a powerful witness to the faith community here. Please continue to pray for her and her children--and her mother who is serving as their guardian.
