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.

Just thought to share a neat idea of ds12 here One day before the teenage forum was moved I showed him the round robin stories. He decided it was a neat idea but he would start a round robin story with all his local friends. He had never used email before so he had a bit of a learning curve ahead of him, plus all the logistics and administration problems at the beginning were another curve.

All was worked out and he started.   He wrote a wonderful introductory paragraph to his story and sent it out to all with an order list of who was writing when. The children are all wonderfully excited about it and pressure each other about writing the next installment What is really wonderful to hear is the talk that they all have about it, they are busy suggesting to the next person which direction they should take the story 'C.. I think we need some bad guys in the story' C replies he alreay intended on doing so.

It is wonderful to see such enthusiasm and the list keeps growing (it is now up to 16 children) as siblings and friends keep begging to be included.
