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.

when ds 4 decides to take over the family saints litany in our daily prayer time and comes up with gems like:-

Saint Martin of Porridge, pray for us.
Saint Jacinta Tomato, pray for us.
Saint Joseph Cappucino, pray for us.
Saint Teresa of Liver, pray for us.



Edited to add, Saint Spooner (if you exist), pray for us!

Jane.
