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.

The Vatican has approved the beginning process for Gwen Coniker of Catholic Family land, mother of 12. I can't wait to read more about her.

Gwen Coniker

What an amazing story! I smiled at the quote, "Babysitter for God." Thank you for posting this Bridget it was very interesting.

I liked that too. I really need to learn more about this woman.

That quote reminded me of the story of Moses. How deliberate and careful his biological mother had to be in caring for him, knowing he would be turned over to the palace one day and had to be fit for the king.

How much more true of our children who need to be fit to do the work of the King of Kings.

They're not ours...

I knew some of her kids at Steubenville. She must have been a saint to put up with them.
