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, one of the things we did was I purchased that big set of Saints cards from Emmanuel Books. Then, whenever we come to a particular period in history, we go thru and pull out the saints who lived during that time. THEN, as we go along, we read the cards, do some of the activities, write a biographical sketch, maybe look for a picture in art of the saint (lots of Old Masters paintings of notable saints!) and in this way incorporate the saints right into our history studies/notebooks. It definitely helps provide a little balance in the historical narrative!

Kelly,
Can you provide a link? I searched on Emmanuel Books' site but couldn't find the cards you mentioned...they would make a nice addition to our history and religion studies, too!

Jennifer,
    If you go to Google and type in Loyola University Press Saints cards it will bring up an amazon site that will connect you to the 189 card saints kit for sale at Amazon.com   I checked thru the Emmanuel Books catalog and they don't seem to carry the large saint cards anymore.

We've been using these cards for nearly ten years. When we bought them ('way back when) I forked out the dough to laminate them (ouch) but they have been a great resource and are VERY sturdy. I expect I'll be saving them for grandchildren someday!
