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.

Okay, a question for you wonderful experts...does Valentine's Day have some sort of religious background? For some reason I keep thinking Saint Valentine or am I way off base?

We are using the picture book Saint Valentine by Robert Sabuda recommended in The Catholic Mosaic. It is a beautiful picture book which you might enjoy. Our library has several copies. Perhaps yours does too.
