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.

My youngest son (8) and I went to the store this morning. There was a young mom in front of us in the check out line with 6 little ones with her...the oldest child was maybe 8 and the youngest was an infant. My son is always fascinated by larger families and was watching them intently. I started helping her unload her cart, because obviously she had her hands full    . The poor woman was looking a bit frazzled and my son (who is very shy and hardly ever talks to strangers at the store) reached up and patted her on the arm and said, "You must be a very hardworker. All moms work hard but you must work VERY hard. If I had a trophy for moms who work hard, I would give it to you." She smiled, laughed and gave him a hug. She said she really needed to hear that and needed a good laugh.

So here's to all you hardworking moms...you all deserve a trophy!

That is so sweet, what a great son you have, and a great Mama, too to have fostered such a tender heart. God Bless!
