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 recently checked out from the library the book Good Griselle by Jane Yolen. I really liked it. It is set at Christmas time but could be used year round.

Has anyone else read this book? What did you think.

Summary: The stone angels and gargoyles atop a church in Paris make a wager regarding the extent of the kindness of a young woman named Griselle. The gargoyles decide to test her with a seemingly unlovable child. She not only loves the child rejected by others but loves the child in the face of rejection by her long lost husband who suddenly returns from war.
