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.

I came across this quote the other day and, thinking especially of my youngest, it really touched me:

"We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today. ~Stacia Tauscher

Just had to share it here ...

Yes, thank you for the reminder. It has been one of those weeks when I really have needed a reminder.

A good friend of mine has had that quote in her email signature for a long while. She recently added another I rather liked:

My business is not to remake myself but to make the absolute best of what GOD has made. Robert Browning.
