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.

He woke up sick today...and he was supposed to take the SAT.

He has worked so hard (with good results) preparing for this test. He took it last fall and was discouraged by his scores, so I really, really hate to see this happen today.

I'm sure it's just a stomach bug, but we live in a county with probable swine flu cases, so there's no point in taking a chance.

Please pray that he'll feel better soon and that this setback will not discourage him (or me).

This hasn't been our best week...you have really prayed me through a discouraging time...and I thank you in advance for your prayers for my son.

Praying Nancy.

I know how discouraged you and your son must feel. My daughter has had a similiar situation. I pray that they both can retake this test with good results. May God grant your son health as well.

Jody

Oh, Nancy! I'm so, so sorry! I hope he's better now...and I'm praying like Jody that he can retake the SAT's with wonderful results! How disappointing for him.

Oh, Nancy, I am so sorry............what a bummer!

God's timing, I guess......

Prayers for the emotions now and the success later.


btw, tomorrow is the last day to sign up for the next SAT, without late fee........I know.....I have to go sign up!
