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.

We have been having some difficulty lately with some of our extended family (chiefly my side), whose dislike of our Catholicism is no secret. A couple of family members, otherwise quite dear to us, have recently been targeting our older children for some "de-Catholic-brainwashing," as I'm sure they see it. Our upcoming move will naturally mean that contact with them will be more limited, but this is something we're obviously going to have to be wary about in the future.

Fortunately our older kids are pretty savvy and under no illusions about where certain family members are coming from. Still, it saddens me that things are like this. I would really so much rather just get along with everyone.

Thanks so much for your prayers.

Sally

That is so frustrating! Praying for you and your children. Those Friendly Defenders are great and easy to use.

Praying for you and your family. There's nothing like having someone undermine your faith or values, been there and done that here, never pleasant. :-(
