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.

Here is a Christmas advertisment celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the Christmas truce of WWI. My boys are way too young for Joyeux Noel, but this might help bring it to life a bit for them.

Our Priest talked about that event 100 years ago just today in his homily.
Very moving, tragic, so sad.
