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.

As usual, I am a little last minute in planning.

I just wanted to mention that Seton's Art 5 has a beautiful section on this feast with several gorgeous works of art and discussion of the pieces, Jewish law and Bible history.. The kids and I will be studying it together on Fri.

If you have this book on your shelves, definitely pull it off for this.

I always like Seton art books, in particular Book 1--a book that can be adapted readily for all ages.

Thank you, Bridget! I look forward to using Book 5 next year. We will be doing the project in Book 1 with my 3rd child. His sisters remember it fondly and can't wait to help him.

Too fun, Dawn! Thanks for sharing.
And, thank you, Bridget. I'm off to grab my Seton 5 book.

The children and I are studying this icon today.
