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.

For a variety of reasons, I've decided to change the web host for this blog. For those of you who are interested, the new address is here. I'll also change the address in my signature link. Thanks!


I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, please move it if it's not.

I've been trying to pray the complete rosary daily ever since reading Elizabeth's blog about it. The rosary prayer that I use (You can find it here) includes a meditation to focus on for each decade. I like the way praying this way has been helping me focus more on God throughout the day. I also like how the meditations have been helping me focus more on changing behaviours that need to change.

Anyway, I've started a blog to record readings from the Bible and other sources that illustrate each of these virtues. I thought some here may find it of interest so if you'd like to check it out you can find it here. It's called Rosary Reflections.

And please, if you'd like to add something, feel free to!
