Dear Prayer Warriors,
Would you say a prayer for my daughter (nearly 3) who has a significant bacterial infection? The infection is anti biotic resistant.
She seems like she is doing well. I'm the one falling apart. Prayers for her complete recovery and for me to face these trials with greater strength would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance
****
an afternoon update
Thank you for your prayers! I appreciate them very much.
The bacteria needs two antibiotics -- one oral and the other inhaled. We were able to get the oral antibiotic this week but I was told that I would have to wait until next week before the really good antibiotic arrived.
Much to my surprise and relief, the very important antibiotic arrived this afternoon on a Saturday and even after our foot of snow yesterday.
I feel much more relieved.
As I saw the word SATURDAY in print, it leapt out at me -- especially after Anne's post with picture. I need to thank Our Lady (of Altagracia) for speeding these things along to us.

Praying try to focus on the positives not the what if bad things. Only worry about them when and IF you have to. I love the visual of literally lying in God's hands through times like this. Annie

Helen, I know her birthday is not far away and so is the beautiful feast of Our Lady of Altagracia...I will start this novena for your precious daughter that this bacteria is put down completely. I wish I could give this to you IRL Helen...
NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF ALTAGRACIA
Quote:
Preparatory Prayer
O Dear Mother, Most Sweet Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness! Look at us here, prostrated in your presence wishing to offer you this novena in testimony of our love, and in thanksgiving for the innumerable favors we have received from your hands. You are our Advocate and, like beggars, we come to present our needs to you. 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 the love of our hearts. Receive Dearest Mother, our praise and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.
Supplications
1.- O Sweetest Mother of Altagracia, pure and immaculate since your conception! We beg you to bless our children, preserving their innocence and increasing their love for purity.
(Hail Mary…)
2.- O Sweetest Mother of Altagracia, Admirable Mother, who in your little house of Nazareth, served as a model for Christian mothers and wives. We ask you to bless our homes so that the sanctity and holiness of marriage will flourish in them.
(Hail Mary…)
3. O Sweetest Mother of Altagracia, you who had the joy of receiving in your arms the body of your Most Holy Son who died on the cross for us, we beg you to come to our aid at the our of our death, so that by dying with the name of Jesus on our lips and hearts, we can fly to the glory of your maternal arms.
Final Prayer
Most Holy Virgin of Altagracia, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for the continuous blessings you pour down on us. From your hands and from your maternal heart we receive, each day, the sustenance given to us by our Heavenly Father. You are our defender when we are in danger, our aid when we are in need and our hope in the sacrifices proper of our Christian life. Through your Immaculate Heart we want to sing a song of thanksgiving to God for all the blessings he has given us. We promise you, O Mother, gratitude and fidelity. You will reign forever in our homes and our town where we will venerate you as our Lady and Mother by growing in all your virtues. Make us worthy of being called your daughters so that serving God and you on this world, we will obtain the highest grace you bring to us: a holy death that will open to us the gates of heaven. Amen.
