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.

A year ago I asked all you wonderful ladies to pray for my son and our family as he began his first year (Plebe Summer) at the US Naval Academy. I want to thank you all for your prayers and support. They have meant so much. I blogged about Billy's past year today. Bless all of you!

Congratulations to you, your son, and your whole family, Maria!! Billy is such a handsome young man, and your write-up of this past year was so touching.

Congratulations to you and your son!

My son turns 17 next week and wants to start the day at the recruiter's office. I am just not ready for this.

What a tender account, Maria. How proud you must be, and deservedly so. I'm so proud of your son! Continuing to pray for him.
