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've just begun Shakespeare. It's easy to read and it is fascinating. The author draws you in to William Shakespeare's world. He also wrote biographies of Dickens, TS Eliot, and Blake, among others. Haven't checked those out, yet. I'm still trying to determine a Catholic/Protestant slant. At some places, it appears he bends toward the Protestants, but then he redeems the Catholics.

I like him and the fascinating worlds he conjures up. I don't think he is pro or anti any denomination, as such.
