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 am just so happy today    My dd, who is very mathy, has always thought of herself as weak at 'English'. She has always had tremendous comprehension, but was a late reader and doesn't often write. But this week she finished a superb literary analysis essay and a short story (they had both been in the works a few weeks). Boy, that girl can WRITE!!! They were both so deep and thoughtful. And the diction and imagery were fantastic. Makes my mother's heart glad! All these years of anxiety for nothing!

Just had to share my joy!

It's so encouraging to hear things like this! All our mommy anxiety... for what?!

St. Pio says it best: "Pray. Hope. And don't worry."
