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.

Dh is currently treating a lady with a rare disease who is 12 weeks pregnant. The disease has a mortality rate of up to 50% for pregnant women, so dh's colleagues are advising the patient to have an abortion.

Please could you pray for this lady's health, and for a good decision? It appears that she does *not* want an abortion but is under a lot of pressure. Please could you also pray for dh? He is a lone pro-life voice in a very utilitarian environment.

Many prayers! We had friends in the same position a few years ago and it was a very difficult and heartwrenching situation.

Asking Our Lady of Guadalupe to intercede for her. I was in her shoes once and so grateful for the protection Our Lady offered me!

Asking Our Lady to strengthen your dh as well. Thank God for his voice!
