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 am chuckling, too, Kristina.

That is SO ME TOO. (Actually, I haven't been deluding myself that I've been a nice person....I just struggle with it. Period. I mean: not toward OTHERS......just toward my husband, children, and extended family members, of course.)

I love that verse, Kristina.   Yes---thanks for the reminder. (He really stretches some of us, though....     )

I thought I was the only one that had a hard time getting into the Kindness book!! I'm relieved to know I'm not. I am also up for a book discussion.
God bless,
Angela

Hi Nina,

Whenever I'm going through a hard time, I find that it mostly has to do with my not accepting the crosses in life so I go back to "Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence". It's a short, older book (available from Tan) but I find it really gets to the point & gives me a the "kick in the pants" I need.
