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.

Hi! I'm Theresa, cradle Catholic, home educating mom of 7 loves here and one in heaven, married to dh Chris for nearly 22 years. We have always home educated our children,(going into year 14?) and God willing, we always will. Our children range from 4 to 19 years old. I was so surprised at the welcome message from Elizabeth when you are told that your membership has been approved. Not only was it all so beautifully said, (I read it aloud to my mother and had to hold back the tears- literally)but it was also the truth that I myself have been sharing with many for years now! I truly love living my life with my children and learning as we go. For many years now, we have not had "school" but "lessons" with regard to our academics. It is my goal to raise my children for His Kingdom and to save souls through true love which is The Cross. I've been blessed with a precious Catholic home school community of pilgrims where we embrace the teachings of Holy Mother Church and the spirituality of Blessed Conchita Armida who embraced the spiritual motherhood of priests. (It was in fact, this post, sent to me by another, that led me to 4REAL! Spiritual Motherhood for Priests)
