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.

My dh's new boss (sorry, been needing to update all of you who have prayed with me for this--we have been abundantly blessed!) is a priest who spent three years as a missionary in Mexico. Yesterday he received word that a Mexican friend was murdered when he refused to use his trucking company to transport drugs for a cartel. He was shot in front of a church and the priest was able to run outside and administer the sacraments before he died. Other missionary friends of ours who knew him will be traveling to Mexico for the funeral. Please pray for this brave soul and those who loved him.

This is so heartbreaking, Colleen. Praying for the repose of his soul. May our dear Mother speed him to his reward!
