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.

Inspired by Stefoodie, who served some wonderful tea during the moderators' retreat, I thought I would serve some up for us today:



The tea is Celestial Seasonnings Candy Cane Lane.
And don't worry, all the goodies are calorie-free

So please take a moment from your hectic, pre-holiday day to sit a minute and have a cup of tea with me.

Have a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!

Looks and sounds lovely, but I am on a strict diet of coffee and chocolate today! So much house and stuff, so little time!

How our hearts long for peace and beauty! Even the lovely picture you posted that so evokes tranquility and a blessed moment of respite in the midst of the hectic pattern of life fills me with gratitude to you and to our heavenly Father, who fills us with all good and perfect gifts. May everyone's Thanksgiving Day be blessed and a day of gratitude and rejoicing for our true "Thanksgiving", the Blessed Eucharist. Looking forward to our eternal "tea party" together!
