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.

Here is an article about the UN's year of Galileo and the Vatican's approach. Does any one else cringe at Galileo being called a "patron saint" of something (even in this less than literal context)? His personal life doesn't seem to hold up to the standards of saint from what I've read.


Here is one at the Vatican Observatory site.
I'm looking forward to checking it out some more.

Thanks, Marcia.
