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 want to offer up prayers of Thanks to God. After many years of prayer, my prayers were answered when DH was received in the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil. If you had told either one of us last Easter that this would have happened, we would have both thought you were crazy. To be honest God answered my prayers and those of my MIL beyond our expectations.

Never underestimate the power of prayer even if your prayers don't seem to be answered as quickly as you want or in the ways you imagine. Thanks Be to God!!
