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'm so proud of my husband. As some of you know, he got a new job close to home and this is his last week in DC. Today his boss asked him if he would consider staying part time from home because he has been doing the work of 4 different people. He was told they would have to hire 4 people to take over his duties. They do not want to lose him. Of course, he said yes.

He will go in to his new job from 7:30-3:30, be home by 4:00 and work on-line from home until 6:00. Right now he leaves the house at 7:00 am and gets on the train at 6:00 every night, and doesn't arrive until 7:30. Isn't this amazing?

St Joseph is so powerful!
