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 humbly ask for your prayers as I struggle to discern what kind of help our extended family members need...and how much of the tangible kind my family should provide. Several family members are in need of everything from prayers to tuition payments. From the other end of the continent, I know I don't get the whole story. I find this all frustrating and really need to open my heart to God's will.

Thanks!

I am always praying for your intentions, even if I don't post all the time.

It is frustrating being so far away from family, especially when they need help with something! Praying for you...

Nancy -

This really is a tough situation. You love and want to help, but, as you say, you don't have the whole story. It's easy to jump to all kinds of wrong conclusions. Praying for clarity in your discerning how to handle things.

Peace,
Nancy
