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.

On Tuesday, there was a group of students traveling home for the holidays from Benedictine College where my daughter attends. There was an accident on a bridge over the Missouri river, and one of the young men, to avoid being hit by an out of control truck, jumped out of the way, and fell from the bridge into the river. They have not found him yet. Please pray for him, his family, and the rescue workers as they search for him.

My sister also attends BC and shared this news with me this afternoon. We've been praying for all involved. It is not likely he survived.
