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 linked it to my local hs group- and they loved it. We have one mom in our group who lost her dh in Iraq. She was induced to have her third baby so she could attend his funeral.
We have another mom whose sis lost her dh suddenly, and she was also expecting. Everyone could see them in your words. God has been so good to them, and it's good to read your story, as I know I fret over the littlest of things, ...really, I struggle with keeping Philippians 4:6-7. I have printed out your article to keep as a daily reminder. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

God Bless,
Stacy in MI
