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.

Six Canadian soldiers were killed in Afghanistan on Easter. The worst day for Canadian soldiers in more than 50 years.

online article

Their identities haven't been revealed yet, so I'll pray for all Canadian soldiers' families who must have spent an extra stressfull Easter day. And of course, for the six families that will hear the dreadful words.

The soldiers have been identified.

The dead men were identified as Sgt. Donald Lucas, 31, of Burton, N.B., Cpl. Aaron E. Williams, 23, of Lincoln, N.B., and Pte. David Robert Greenslade, 20, of Saint John, N.B.

Also killed was Pte. Kevin Kennedy, 20, of St. Lawrence, NL, and Cpl. Christopher Paul Stannix, 24, of Dartmouth, N.S., who was a reservist from the Halifax-based Princess Louise Fusiliers.

A sixth soldier killed was also based at Gagetown, but was not identified at the request of his family.

Thank you for letting us know, Cleo. This is so very sad. Praying, and grateful for their service on our behalf.
