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 am not online a whole lot right now so have not checked in with Martha. I just went onto her blog and saw that she is in the hospital with placenta previa bleeding and contractions - she is only 31 weeks pregnant. (she is a couple of weeks ahead of me) I am so upset that I did not know until now. Martha - we are praying and praying for you and baby.

Here is Martha's blog - Our Family Academy

Oh my goodness, Marilyn...how awful!! Putting this on our Rosary tonight, Martha! We're praying so very hard here!

Does anyone know Martha IRL? Anyone have any contact with her?

As we hung up, she was contracting again. So, pray hard! let's assume the contrax stop and she gets to the morning~ please take her intentions to Mass. I want to wrap my brain around some organized support, but let's just wait until we're sure she's going home on bedrest, because support looks different depending on the situation.

I'm particularly attached to the prayer below. And then, I'll go back and link to the prayers you all prayed for me.

Good St. Anne, you were especially favored by God to be the mother of the most holy Virgin Mary, the Mother of our Savior. By your power with your most pure daughter and with her divine Son, kindly obtain for us the grace and the favor we now seek. Please secure for us also forgiveness of our past sins, the strength to perform faithfully our daily duties and the help we need to persevere in the love of Jesus and Mary. Amen.

More prayers here.

Your prayers were so efficacious. Martha can take great comfort in knowing you're storming heaven on behalf of her and her baby.

and one more thing: would a night owl bump this thread up just before the boards are locked tonight so that people who are here tomorrow will remember to pray?

OK, so this is why I don't post at night I can't think in complete thoughts.
If I have an update between now and when the boards open again, I'll post on my blog.
G'night for real, this time.
