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.

Oh Mary - I love the idea of balloons. My boys would love that!!

We've done a couple of things this week that I posted about here and here.

For "religion," we are "just" doing the liturgical year this month. With all the prayers, songs, scripture readings, etc. I would say it's more than enough!!

She blew up red balloons and on each one wrote a gift of the Spirit with black marker. She then suspended them around her kitchen taping them upside down to her ceiling to recall the tongues of fire coming down on the Apostles...it looked so fun and festive!


This is a great idea! Easy too! Thank you so much for sharing. With a Frist Communion tomorrow and Mother's Day, I have not given enough time or thought to celebrating Pentecost. This will be a great start.

Anyone made Holy Ghost Sopas before?


I haven't made it myself, but have had it at my in-laws. It is a favorite of my father-in-law who is Portuguese. I will verify that the Holy Ghost festivals (festas) and sopas is a very big deal to the Portuguese. They laugh at me since I can't really do the soggy bread - queasy stomach for that. The flavor is great though.

Massa Sovada (Portuguese sweet bread) is a big part of the festa, too. I could post my mil's recipe if anyone is interested.


I would love your recipe Mary since I'm Portuguese and haven't had that soup before!

I just have a recipe for the sweet bread, since I haven't made the soup. I could get the soup recipe though. There is a recipe for the soup that was on Catholic Cuisine blog - Holy Ghost Sopas.

Thank you so much for the recipe!

I mentioned the soup to my mom and she told me when they go to the Holy Ghost feast my dad loves the soup. She said that she knows it has mint in it. When I tried looking for a recipe online I wasn't able to find one with mint so this one really fits the bill!
