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.

Chelsea is playing the role of Martha in our group's live stations of the cross this afternoon. She will walk with Mary Magdalene and Mary to the tomb. (We took some creative license with creating roles the children could play. )

Chelsea is really fascinated with her new role model and I'm wanting to take advantage of her interest. We found this nice picture and write up on St. Martha but does anyone know of a picture book on Martha and Mary? Preferably one that shows Martha in a good, hospitable light?

Cay, This is way late and I do not know anything about this book except I saw it for sale a good Catholic bookshop in Australia, here it is on Amazon, Good, Better, Best: The Story of Mary and Martha (me too!)

That sort of illustration on the front cover I am not really fond of but maybe the story is good? Maybe some has this book and could comment?
