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.

Tomorrow is the big day! The first Papal Mass in America with Pope Benedict XVI! And he celebrates his birthday on April 16, and election to papacy on April 19.


Besides Marilyn's wonderful little unit study preparing for this, I just got a new book Joseph from Germany published by Pauline Books. It's not as meaty as Karol from Poland , but Pope Benedict's life isn't as action packed as JPII's, either.

I did find it omitted his book writing and music loving, glossing over about 50 years as a priest, but it's very enjoyable.

Our four year old enjoyed the book and will follow more closely tomorrow when we watch from afar now that he knows a little more about him. There were some interesting facts I didn't know about him until now.

Joseph and Chico is the other children's book, which has been discussed here and here.

I also mentioned here a beautiful pictorial book.
