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.

Mary Ellen Barrett just started a new column at the Long Island Catholic newspaper .... here's her column on miscarriage and it is just beautiful ....

Here's her concluding paragraph:
Quote:

Mothers of these lost babies should know that they have done their job and fulfilled their mission to obtain heaven for their children. They have given freely of themselves and allowed God to create life and to claim that life for heaven. Parents who cooperate with God’s grace in this way can be assured that their sadness leads to joy as another voice joins the heavenly choir and sings their praises for all eternity.


Isn't that beautiful?
