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.

You know I am a first born and a opiniated snob sometimes. When I first read the OP I thought wow is she talking about me and as try as I might to become humble and meek I just cant do it . When I know that I am going to be in a situation of disagreable porportions I have to start with prayer always if not my mouth talks faster than I can think at times and I end up hurting those I most love. I really try and for what its worth I have gotten better through the coming closer to Christ, but I think dont be hard on yourselves. God willing you always can start fresh and make things right, it is when we dont or dont want to that is the biggest problem.
We deal with our children 24/7 and we care alot but we are more susceptible to this because we have so much riding on us also. This is not an excuse but I know and am aware about my shortcomings and I have to be gentle with myself too.

"Dear Lord---Please keep your arm around my shoulder, and your hand over my mouth. Amen."
I love that saying I really do
