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.

Excerpt:

This is the wife who startled awake
and wanted some cake
with the man who walked all around
to follow the sound
of a little mouse
who crawled in the house
to stay nice and warm
from the wind that blew on the farm
on the night you were born.

written kinda like "this is the house that jack built" lovely book esp to read aloud to kids born on cold winter nights. we have several here at home . also a bit similar to jan brett illustrations in that a parallel little story runs through the pages about the mouse.

baby, winter, cold, farm,
