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.

Anyone have a good book or resource on cultivating the virtue of meekness? There are some excellent articles on-line although none from a Catholic perspective. I checked the Tan books website which lead me to a book on the saints. I would be willing to buy it but wanted to ask here also.

Thanks!

Marybeth

I'd be interested in suggestions too--I'm definitely in need of a little help in this area!

I have a book called "A Year with the Saints" published by Tan that has a whole month dedicated to meekness.

https://www.tanbooks.com/index.php/page/shop:flypage/product _id/140/keywords/year+saints/

If this is the book you saw, it is fabulous! I have really been pleased.
I couldn't find it on Amazon, I picked up my copy at Church.

I found a few articles on the topic. I haven't read them all, but here are the links...
I need to pray for this virtue too.
