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.

Tonight I was flipping through to PBS kids and stopped on EWTN to hear Peter Herbeck read the story of your fil's final moments and then all the men affirm that he was a man who lived with even more heroism than he died and to give testimony to how much his story inspires them...and, of course, I wept.
Wanted you to know in case you hadn't seen it yet...the show was Crossing the Goal on EWTN.

Wow! That sounds so beautiful. Was it on the television or the radio? Internet?

Thanks for sharing.

Maryan, of course your family and Fr. Vander Woude remain in our daily prayers.

Peace,
Sara Beatty

Wow... thanks you guys. And Colleen, I'm floored.    No we didn't know. I'll have to look it up. Today is 9 months.

We don't have cable etc., but my mil does. I wonder if she caught the show?
