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.

O Blessed Virgin, make known to us those delightful dialogues, those intimate revelations and hidden conversations which you had with your Son as he lay in your womb and opened to you the secrets of heaven, and the sweet kisses you gave him in return for his teaching!

Saint Thomas of Villanova

I read this in my Magnificat on Wednesday. These words led me to near a part of Mary's life that, until then, I had never even considered.
I hope you like them too.
