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.

Oh thanks, Marilyn -- nothing quite like coffee and blubbering at 7:00 on a Saturday morning!

Seriously, that is one wonderfully amazing, faith-filled essay and thank you so much for posting it for us all ....

Marilyn,
Thank you for this gift. Tears are rolling down my cheeks. I plan to share this with my dh and three teenagers as well. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever read...clearly the Holy Spirit and her love for her child guided her hand.

Okay, I definitely should have taken that Kleenex thing more seriously. I am weeping....and wiping it on my shirt!

Only seven people have posted before me, but I'm betting that the other 74 who have viewed it so far are buried in their box of kleenex.

Thank you Marilyn! This was absolutely one of the most beautiful letters I have read.
Just yesterday, one of the moms in my local hs group was able to spend a blessed hour with her niece, Hannah, before Hannah joined Our Lord. Hannah was born with anencephaly, and had her whole family with her (mom, dad, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins) to rejoice in her earthly hour.

God Bless,
Stacy in MI
