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 Greatest Gift is a really nice life of Jesus book about an angel who sacrifices her *life* as an angel to be a star for baby Jesus. When the star falls to earth and becomes a rock, the angel inside still only is concerned for serving Jesus, though she doesn't know how she can. It's one of those stories that makes you tingle inside.

It really does look lovely!

I try to buy one or two new books every Advent ... it's awfully hard to limit myself to one or two ....
