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.

Oh, Leonie, thanks for sharing.   

Mark just took Annie to the bedroom to read her a book and try getting her to go to sleep. She came to give me a kiss and saw the little girl in the picture, "Oh, Mommy, I want to be like her!"    

Annie is 4 too.    What a sweet, wonderful age!
