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.

Sorry this is late but I just finished it this morning.

St. Blaise Coloring Page

Here is a link where you can see the original. I don't know where it came from. We found it on the cover of our parish bulletin a couple of years ago.

We are going to Mass tonight to get our throats blessed and are going to bring some cinnamon breadsticks with us to have them blessed. I read about this custom (pan bendito) somewhere and it sounded fun.

Around here, the priests bless throats the Sunday before St. Blaise's feast day. We all had it done. We usually do, but last year I didn't (I forget why), and I got the flu for the first time ever and then a double ear infection (which, my doctor said came from the infection in my throat from the flu).

I told my husband on Sunday that I definitely wanted it done because last year I didn't and got so sick. He says it is superstitious, but I don't see how it could be non-superstitious to think the blessing helps and superstitious to think that not getting it made a difference.

Come to think of it, the last time I got really sick (like go to the doctor sick) before that was the year before I became Catholic and started getting my throat blessed annually--and it was a throat thing, too.

Anyway, I am definitely a proponent.

But, of course, I wouldn't blame St. Blaise if I did get sick I really am not superstitious, but I do think that St. Blaise is a powerful saint with an emphasis on throat health

You're just in time for us, Charlotte. Thank you so much. I'm printing extra of the coloring sheets to bring to my CCD class tomorrow to go into their notebooks.

Thank you once again, Charlotte! It's wonderful.

We had our throats blessed on Sunday. Father wanted to get to as many people as possible. It still amazed me that people weren't willing to wait 5 minutes for it to be done.
