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.

My mom is Catholic but lukewarm. I was talking to her about how my husband and I get very discouraged with people (stores, media, etc) who glorify the Easter bunny and forget the real meaning of Easter! She said that I have to keep in mind that is how WE feel and that not everyone believes the same way we do. 
I get very upset with her relativism mentality. I love my mom dearly and don't want to damage our relationship but at the same time I worry about her spiritually. Of course, I never know what to say and I stumble for words and make a bafoon out of myself. So I said to her that it still didn't make it right. I think she thinks we are "too" Catholic. This isn't the first time she's said something of this sort. I get very discouraged. What are some kind and gentle things I could say to her? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for listening to me vent!
