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 just received an article on large families and if they are making a comeback. Just thought I'd share.

Interesting article, although this quote jumped out at me:
About a hundred years of studies (from the 1870s to the 1970s )found that on average, the bigger the family, the lower the intelligence of the kids. One theory holds that as a family grows, the parents have less time and money to devote to each child's education and intellectual development.
I guess as the youngest of 7, I'm biased against believing that one
