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.

Are you celebrating this optional memorial in any special way today? I am looking for ideas for exploring the concept of *peace* with the children.

Here's the link to information and the beautiful image of Our Lady.

I thought maybe we could send a care package to soldiers fighting in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or anywhere else in the world.

Thank you, Dawn, for the reminder. I had no idea it was Our Lady of Peace today. A dear young homeschooler just went to boot camp 5 weeks ago, and we've been meaning to send him a package. Today would be a great day.

God bless you,

Ruth, that is a beautiful idea!

I just posted a few ideas at my blog. Nothing too inspired, but I thought I'd link them here anyway.

Ruth, that is a great idea. I was thinking, if it hasn't already been done, just to learn the Latin hymn, "Dona Nobis Pacem". My daughter loves this and sings it almost every night.
