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.

Thank you all so much, I'm thrilled with all the suggestions. I just thought I'd share here how much reading widely is REAL Learning.

At present we are delving into the middle ages, I found this old book, 'The Sign of Faith' by Phillip Carrington and thought it would tie in nicely if I used it for religion.

I began reading the book, it began with the catacombs, Constantinople and Helen of the Cross, and the crusades. I discovered that although I hadn't touched on all these topics dd has read about them and could tell me quite alot of detail When I quized her further I discovered she had read about this from books on our shelves I didn't even know she had looked at! In fact she has read far more of our books than I realised. So much for me worrying that she is not being extended enough, she is giving herself a rich and varied education through reading
