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.

The Family Centered Life alerted us to this fabulous picture of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus which the children can color today and:

(1) enter into the contest
(2) enter into their Liturgical Year Notebook

Discuss the Symbolism of the Mother Pelican. You might wish to print this article out and place it inside the child's notebook.

I'll add into our discussion (and you might want to show this to your dc as well) that our Louisiana state flag has the same image: Louisiana State Flag Images

Thank you, Cay (and Michele ) for this link!! I have been looking through my materials this morning for just such an image. We *were* going to have a busy day today, getting ready for a b.day party tomorrow, but due to its postponement (forecasted rain) we have a quieter day ahead. These wonderful suggestions are how we'll spend our afternoon. Thanks!!

And don’t forget a Solemnity is a day of celebration, so even though it's Friday, it’s not a penitential day as usual.

Celebrate our Lord's gift of His heart to us!

Wonderful links! Love the color page.

And as you say, perfect for the scorcher day it has turned out to be. I think we'll crash under the tiki hut and see what artistic inspiration strikes.

I'm a bit behind and just catching up on posts - thanks for the link Cay. I wish I had read this before the weekend. We saw a flock of American White Pelicans on Saturday on our way to a nature center. I had read the symbolism of the pelican in Christianity before, but of course didn't at this time make a connection to talk to the kids. So tomorrow I'll have something to share. Still have the rest of June to focus on the Sacred Heart since I didn't do a good job on Friday.
