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.

Cay this is a great tutorial that seems to cover all the bases -- thanks so much for mentioning it. I think I'd like to "do" this curse while hte kids are on Spring Break (Easter) so that I can feel more confident about unschooling generally.

THANKS!
