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 wanted to thank all of you ladies who have so faithfully prayed for my son and our family. The many prayers offered here meant so much to me in my time of need. Our son is safe now, but he still has to face some consequences for his actions.

On a separate note, we will be traveling to the Cardiff Metropolitan Cathedral of St. David on a pilgrimage to see the relics of St. Therese of Lisieux. Our family saw her relics in the States, but that was before we adopted our son. We have since learned so much about this saint. So we are offering our novena not only for our priests, but also for conversions in our own family.

Once again, thank you all for your continued prayers. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful group of women praying for us.

Update 9/24
We had a lovely time in Cardiff. We spent the morning before the relics of St. Therese in prayer that ended in a wonderful mass that was celebrate by our Bishop of Menevia. Unfortunately, our ds chose not to go with us. Although he is safe (and we are certainly thankful for it), I fear that we have lost his heart. We continue to pray for him.

Carole, I am so glad your son is safe. It is so hard to watch them struggle, and so scary at times.

Praying for your pilgrimage.
