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'm Kathy. I've been reading on and off for about 1 year. I have a wonderful husband and seven dc (ages 1 to 15). I have learned a great deal here. Thank you!

My Dad told me about his Feast of the Holy Family homily. It was short, simple and memorable. I thought you might enjoy it as much as I did.

Some people think that family is spelled famIly, with a capital I. Here is an acronym that sums up what family really is:

F     forget
A     about
M     me
     (because…)
I     I
L     love
Y     you


Kathy

Welcome Kathy!

I'd forgotten about that acronym...it's perfect for the Feast of the Holy Family! It's also sounds like something my dc need to focus on especially right now.

Thanks
