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.

Enjoy your babymoon! It certainly seems to go by so much quicker with the bigger bundles. Welcome, Finnian!

A very belated thank you to everyone for Finnian's warm welcome! Unfortunately, I cannot take credit for his name. My husband chooses the names for our boys. He wants them to all be named after Irish saints. St. Finnian shares his feast day with Our Lady of Guadalupe (Dec. 12). Thank you, once again!
