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.

Your list looks great to me, Marilyn.

Is it because of budget restraints or you can't find it? I found a few inexpensive used copies at http://www.bookfinder.com. Just type in "Hilda Van Stockum" for Author and loads of her books come up.

Angels, Angels Everywhere by Tomie dePaola is a great book for guardian angels.

I have a little booklet on St. Michael the Archangel, but I haven't been able to find a used copy, so I can't recommend it. And it seems there should be something of St. Martin, but probably most children's books were done in Europe, since his feast is so big there.

St. Francis is one of the hardest feasts, because there are just so many things to do. I was going to note that "Make me An Instrument" is not written by St. Francis, but it's a prayer in the "spirit" of St. Francis. "Canticle of the Sun" was written by him.

St. Teresa's bookmark is nice copywork.

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you.
All things are passing;
GOD is unchanging.
Patience obtains everything.
Whoever possesses GOD,
wants for nothing.
GOD alone suffices.

And I mentioned that book "Leaving Matters to God". In it is one of her childhood stories of she and her brother running away to fight the Moors and be martyrs for the Faith. I think that would be a great discussion.

Thanks Jenn - such a help as Abby would say "you are a fount of wisdom in all liturgical year matters"

I have not been able to find Angel Alphabet - will keep trying.

I love the copywork suggestion for St. Teresa of Avila.
