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.

My friend called this morning to say her special needs daughter died very suddenly and unexpectedly from a bowel obstruction. The family is devastated...this is after a series of Job-like experiences over the last several years...losing a month old baby, several miscarriages, unbelievable financial hardships, not to mention the day to day of this particular child's care who was in a wheelchair and needed lots of care. They have done this all with great faith and humility.
Please, if you could offer up your Divine Mercy chaplet for them today...they really need to be lifted up by all in prayer. Thanks so much!

I am so saddened to read all of this! I will offer up my prayers, and my Mass this weekend on our Lord's Divine Mercy Sunday!

This does sound like almost too much. I'll pray for them and hope that God guides them gently to acceptance and understanding during this dark night.

Hope you're feeling much better today as well.

Thank you very, very much every one of you!!!! I was at the funeral home last night...will be at the Rosary tonight..funeral tomorrow. My friend is amazing...and I know it is because of prayers like yours that she is able to get through this incredibly difficult time with the graces she needs. She has tremendous peace that her sweet daughter is, right now, in the presence of God!! One of the beloved priests of this area was able to give her daughter Last Rites just shortly before she passed....and due to her medical conditions, she remained an innocent...and is surely in the hands of Our Lady, with her siblings that have gone before her.

I will print off your intentions and pass them onto my friend...it will mean so much.

God Bless all of you...I offered up all of your intentions at the Consecration at Sunday's Mass.
