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.

and my son will be going.

I've been home with him for five years, and now he'll be gone for eight hours every day.

Our hearts are just breaking.

This is such a suffering, Paula!!! May our Lady, comforter of the afflicted, be with you now!

I'm asking St. Dominic Savio to go with your son and animate him with courage and nobility during these days that He will be able to accomplish God's will even in this situation which removes him from your arms for part of the day.

St. Michael, defend him...

Dear Paula, you've been on my mind and in my prayers through all of your continuing trials with your son. God bless you all as you venture into new territory with him, and know prayers will continue so your "mommy's heart" will be blessed and healed over time. Hugs!
