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 was just reading my Sonlight Beam, and I came across this little piece of info:

"Since 1960, the working vocabulary of Americans has dropped from 25,000 words to 10,000 words."

Now, does anyone else find this as sad as I do?
