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.

Just wanted to remind everyone that the 4th anniversary of his death is tomorrow.

We plan to remember him with a meal of kielbasa, red potatoes and ale (rounded out by some veggies)....and rice pudding for dessert!

Yes, thanks for the reminder! There was a great show on EWTN about him tonight (watched while putting the baby to bed). I wished I had recorded it!

The Polish press was reporting he'll be beatified on April 2nd next year.
If that's the case, my children who are named for him can finally claim their name days.

We claim them already!    !

The question about beatification is that the 2nd of April next year is Good Friday ... but if they do ... I know a high school that REALLY needs to get up a trip to go over for it!

I'm not sure what we're making for dinner, but we'll have fun talking, reading, crafting and just generally reveling in the memories of this great Pope! (who, once he gave a few audiences, seemed to have put the kabosh on Polish jokes! )
