Rosaries for Br. Joseph & Sr. Joan
Brothers & Sisters - In your charity, please offer an extra daily Rosary for Br. Joseph (Alaric) and his wife, Sr. Joan (Mary), who unexpectedly gave birth to their son, Leo, on Easter morning at 26 weeks. Baby Leo weighs 2 lbs and 1 oz. Please keep Sr. Joan's mother, Sr. Josepha Marie (Karen), in your prayers as well. I will post an update once I know more.

Ave Maria!
Thank you all, again, for the many prayers poured out for Leo! Leaving the hospital on the Feast of St. Elizabeth of Portugal (third order), July 8th, he left with medication for high blood pressure, which they said was sometimes normal for premies (I think, while their bodies are still figuring out how to self-regulate things). They said he'd most likely outgrow it within a year. Well, then, we started getting suspicious that he had a sensitivity to the medication. Right at that time, his blood pressure just immediately stabilized, and he is no longer in need of it! I think it was a real grace and blessing from God.
His health & development are excellent. It's easy to get a smile out of him these days, and his brother loves having him around.
Pax et bonum,
Br Joseph
