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.

In an earlier post Mary referred to this book. I just began reading it to my 4 children who are waking up extremely early begging me to read the next chapter. This book was due back at the library on the 1st. I was hoping to renew it and it was on the reserve list.... Is it a sin to keep the book and just pay the fine and hope the people on hold find another copy ? The Librarian told me to just return it when we finished it and pay the fine. I took her word for it. She is the ruler of the library... Right
Anyway, My children have just really gotten into this story and I would love to hear what you all are doing as far as teachable moments etc..
Thanks so much for the heads up on the book Mary

Oh, Anne, I'm so glad you and your kids are enjoying this one ... I was so excited, especially since I'd gotten it for a $1 at a used book sale!

It is a great way to teach geography, history and wonder!   Have fun and ENJOY!

We're reading it and enjoying it so far. It is going very well with the secular Advent calendar I bought at the convenience store.

We listened to it on tape last year during Advent and are again this year. It is a wonderful, fun, story. It is becoming our family tradition to listen to it in the car during this time of year.

It seems to me that many librarians have a way of . . . being this way! No offense please as I am interested in someday working for the library PT myself! Just that I've had some similar encounters where the exact rules are very, very important, and I guess I'm more of a flexible-natured person!

But I do think you can find it quite inexpensively used (though you'd have to wait on shipping!), and my local used bookstore has 2 copies which I am coveting, for about $4 each. Maybe you should just buy it, as they might want it again next year anyway!
