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.

I know that I have asked for prayers for my ds before, but he has made some really bad choices in life over the past few weeks, and I am not certain what will happen now. My dh and I are at our wits end. There are no easy answers for us.

Please pray for our ds and for my dh and I to be able to move forward and help this child deal with his past and all of the difficulty it is causing in his life. Also pray for my other dc who are having to sort it all out in their own lives as well.

Thank you so much.

Update 10/22

I just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers. I know that it has certainly made a *huge* difference in our lives the past few weeks! While life is still uncertain in many areas, our ds has made some very good choices, and I think that we are making progress in the right direction. I know it is because of your prayers.

We are certainly not out of the woods yet, so I ask that you continue to pray for him and for our other dc who are have to make adjustments in their lives as well.
Thank you.

Update 11/13

Sorry to be begging again, but I have a feeling that we could have a tough weekend with our son in his decision making. He seems to go through difficult times in his life especially after he has had some really great times. I have been very pleased over the last several weeks, but I feel from his conversation the last few days that he is not thinking about the family, but only himself.

Please pray for him. I am asking for the intercession of Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, the patron saint of RAD (thank you, Helen, you don't know how timely this is). Thank you for your prayers. I will lift you up in my evening Rosary.
