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.

Finally! We had an offer accepted on a house this weekend, and the people are moving out of state, so escrow is short--30 days. I am waiting for the trash company to deliver a dumpster right now, so I can start tackling our garage.

I am 43 years old, and we have been married for 14 years. We have waited a long time for this, our first house! We are excited and nervous, and a little overwhelmed.

So with all the sorting and packing to do (I am taking this opportunity to do a serious purge), and the start of Lent, I will be taking a break from the Internet after today.

May God bless you all this Lent.

God bless and enjoy the house ... have a wonderful lent. I personally believe that packing and moving are definitely sacrificial acts and are perfect for lenten activity!

Lisa, I'm so thrilled for you and your family! This will be challenging, I know, but how fruitful for your family to spend this Lent purging together as a family as you anticipate a new home and a fresh start!

Sending prayers to you this Lent! God bless you!
