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.

I never knew that I didn't understand the meaning of ordinary! Thanks for sharing, Jen!

Great article Jen!

Do you want to hear something funny though. Inspired by you I decided to try Wordpress and set up a private Wordpress blog 2 days ago. I called it The Extraordinary Ordinary! So when I saw the title of the post - I was so surprised!!!

This was so lovely. I love Father Rutler.

The timing is funny, because I just completed a piece at Catholic Culture about Ordinary Time, and understanding the word "Ordinary".

It's a bit dry and complex...I'm no Father Rutler.

The content of each article definitely complement each other.

I agree with Mary! I hope Fr. Rutler gets a chance to read Jenn's article too!
