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.

wow, I feel like all I do is ask for prayer request around here lately. I'm sorry.

Can I request prayers - I am struggling mightily with my faith right now and it is spilling over into everything.

Leonie's post made me realize, sadly, that I am not creating memories...I am just dragging us all through each day waiting for bedtime so that I can do it all again the next day.

I'm spent.

I know, I know, I have been a big whiner lately.

This big hit in my spiritual life was just more than I expected.

Praying for you!

God is with us, even when we're dragging. We can always offer the dragging!

God bless, Laura!

Praying Laura ... and you're not being a whiner instead you're allowing us to share your troubles which is not at all a bad thing!

Hugs and prayers

Praying here as well, Laura. Donīt let these spiritual struggles let you down. God is there for us whether or not we īfeelī His presence and whether or not weīre going through spiritual dryness. He is especially present during that dryness, carrying us through. Have faith even when you donīt have faith.

Jesus may be hiding, testing your faith, but He is most certainly with you, loving you through this incredibly difficult time. Laura, you and your family are very dear to Him and he can handle anything that you give Him, no worries.

I'm praying especially for you tonight and tomorrow, and for your beautiful dd as she goes to college. Big s for all of you.

Love,
