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.

Has anyone read this book by Amy Welborn?

I picked up a copy through a book swap, and I have found it to be great.
The author takes several prayers that we say frequently and talks about its history, who wrote it, what it was intended for and who prayed it then and now.

I have found it to be fascinating, especially since I did not know the origin of many of the prayers that we say. Her discussion of the different creeds was very helpful to me.

This might be a fun book to read with a teen as part of religion for the year.
