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.

After reading A Gift of Gracias and the thread on it below, I have decided to keep track of the Marian Apparitions this year as Cay suggests in The Mosaic. I have the Marian Apparition Trading Cards from Illuminated Ink and we made a trading card for Nuestra Senora de la Altagracia.

So here's my question - the next date is February 11 for Our Lady of Lourdes. Does anyone have a children's book recommendation for this day/apparition?

Thanks,

Waverley

As far as I know there isn't an equivalent to the beautiful picture book available for Alta Gracia. But this is a children's book we have - Our Lady of Lourdes.

This is the same one we read every year.
If anyone locates good Marian picture books, please let us all know about them.

Same with us.
Hmmph....I've wondered about this before. Why there aren't more picture books about the apparitions.

I bought a book on Friday called "Visions of Our Lady" by Therese Lynn Johnson.

It covers 12 different apparitions. Each one starts with a beautiful picture, a corresponding prayer, and then the 2 page story.

The cover is beautiful, and even though it is not a true picture book in that sense, it is going to be used that way by us.

Here is a picture. It is an 8x11 book.

Has anyone read or seen this book: Journeys with Mary by Zerlina DeSantis. I saw it at the following website and it looked nice because it includes several different apparitions:
