I LOVE your blog! Thank you so much for these beautiful and encouraging words! You have no idea how much I needed to hear them!<br /><br />My name is Maria. I'm forty four years old. I met my husband Ed three years ago on a Catholic Singles website. We have been trying to concieve for three years without any success. I have been a daycare teacher for twenty two years and LOVE children. I've always wanted my own children and to be a Mommy. I was told by my old doctor that I'd have no problems conceiving when married. Wrong! Two years ago I had my first surgery to remove a cyst from my ovary and was diagnosed with endometriosis stage four at age forty one and a half. In April 2009 I had another surgery to remove more endometriosis, more cysts from my ovaries, ect. Hubby and I have visited many specialists who all tell me it's next to impossible for me to be able to concieve. I have tried everything - vitamins, losing weight, standing on my head, jumping jacks, ect. but still my arms are empty. I've cried so many tears of frustrating. The most frustrating thing of all is that a friend of mine who is 40 and newly married and I prayed a rosary novena together several months ago for a baby and guess what? On the day before the rosary novena ended, she announced she was pregnant! I wonder, why her and not me? I have a special devotion to the Blessed Mother and her rosary. I prayed to be able to have children for years while I was praying for a good Catholic spouse to come my way (Of course I wanted to be married first before trying to have children, but still when I was single I prayed that someday after marriage I would be able to have children too!). My heart and arms ache so much to hold a child and be a Mother! I know exactly how you feel!<br /><br />Very comforting to me are prayers - I will pray for you and This Cross I Embrace - could you please pray for me too? Could you pray for me at the Shrine of Guadalupe in Mexico next time you are able to go there? I would really appreciate it so much!!<br /><br />I know that Jesus and His Mother love us and hear our prayers - I just want to know I am not alone and someone up there is hearing my prayers for a child!! I will share with you often when I'm praying the rosary every night begging for a child of my own, I am always in tears!!<br /><br />You are in my thoughts and prayers!!<br /><br />Much love and hugs to you!<br /><br />Love,<br />Maria Therese in Mass USA <br />prayrosary4life@aol.comMaria Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383883031468303487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437788489300637016.post-37949888381281731832010-12-11T12:27:58.277-06:002010-12-11T12:27:58.277-06:00I needed these words so badly today.

You have brought her and Juan Diego into my life in a very special way, and I can't thank you enough.<br /><br />I'll be praying for you at our celebrations in North America :)Amy @ This Cross I Embracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766112822487858490noreply@blogger.com
