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 have been meaning to post this for a while and last time I came here I ran out of time reading all the great posts and writing my own. Now I'm at it again

My husband, who was baptized a Catholic (not known to us until last year), will be making his First Communion on April 11th and will be confirmed on May 9th.

I just wanted to share this before Easter and ask for your prayers of Thanksgiving as this has been a long time prayer request (19 yrs.) for me and I know for some of you here for quite a while too.

I'm praying for your intentions!
Blessed Lent!
