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.

For all those raising caterpillars right now, we've been enjoying a quaint old story, "A Lesson of Faith," from Parables from Nature by Mrs. Gatty, ca. 1855. There are also stories of birds and bees. The full-text is available free online.

See also "The Selfish Tent-Caterpillar" in
Among the Meadow People

Enjoy!
Christina

Thanks for the link Christina. I have been trying to find a copy of Mrs. Gatty's "Parables from Nature" for a few years. I'm thrilled to see it is online in its entirity!

God Bless,
