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.

I agree, Irene and my kids made quite a case for it on Saturday, as well. I do think I will remember that for the future and make sure it's well panned for in our Domestic Church.

Michele,

Thanks for posting that. I need a forehead slap emoticon...I didn't look in the GIRM.

Our bishops, unfortunately, have tried to remove the obligations of feasts that fall during the week. So you see a pattern of minimizing our holydays. I do think, however, that with our prolife movement getting stronger with our bishops that they might rethink this holyday.

Maybe some letter writing in this area would be a positive thing?

Jenn, it was when I looked in my planner that it occured to me to check there. And then I thought "Jenn is going to be wondering why she didn't think to look there too!"
