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 just wanted to take moment and say thank you to all of those who serve behind the scenes to make the 4Real Learning Boards a reality. I can only imagine the amount of work it requires to give us all this treasure.

You all do an amazing job. You've created a community that is truly Catholic, but with an atmosphere of respect and welcoming for those outside the Catholic Faith. Personally, I have gained so much appreciation for Godly Catholic women, and my faith in Christ is always encouraged by the words written here. And I've learned a great deal about the Catholic Faith that I was ignorant of previously.

You moderate the conversations beautifully, ever watchful for negativity and and discussion that is not honoring to God...certainly a challenge among a large group of women, where words are always "plentiful!'

So thank you for all that you do. You are wonderful servants, and many, many women are blessed because of you!

Shawna you have spoken so well, all you have said is so true!!

I had been thinking about this fact a few days ago and I was marveling that there is always 'sensitivity, wisdom and balance' in the all the moderators and for that, this place is always an oasis!
