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 just smelled something yucky in the basement and discovered our freezer has quit! It must have gone off at least two days ago-everything is gone--all of our venison (our main meat source), all thje summer's berries, and two shelves full of this year's corn harvest!

Please pray I can keep calm during this little "test".

I'm so sorry -- those "little tests" are sometimes harder to deal with than the "big ones"! Praying for extra grace and consolation for you.

JoAnn:

Praying for you now. Those trying not so little things but not immediate life and death are the ones that get me all the time.
