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.

Saw this about today's saint:

Quote:

St. Amalburga (7th century) was a countess and the mother of three Saints, all of whom she taught herself, including religion. When her youngest had left home, she retired to monastery, where she led a life of prayer and asceticism.


Wouldn't it be nice to have someone write that about us a few centuries from now?

Well, around here -- chances are pretty slim that any of us, least of all me, would be named "venerable" let alone canonized!

I beg to differ.

Hmmm... I think she could be the unofficial patron saint of homeschooling moms.

Wow! It's NOT easy to find information about her! She seems to be confused with a couple of other saints by that name, and there is not much known. She's the patron saint of arm pain, fever, and bruises. But I think she absolutely should be the unofficial patron saint of homeschoolers!
