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.

This morning the kids emptied their stockings. They are not happy with Santa. This is what happens when Mom chants the "nothing-made-in-China" mantra too often. We did have several things in there that are MIC, bought months ago. So now they're taking things a bit too far, thinking of writing Santa a letter, accusing him that he's not pro-life, etc. I don't know if I should laugh or cry.      (They're still discussing it -- my kids can get a bit too logical at times.)

Go ahead and laugh! You know you are doing something right. They will be ready to change the world by the time they are grown.

You can laugh with joy that they are committed Christians and cry with sorrow that they have to fight the fight.

Bravo, Stef, great kids!
