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.

We found this book on clearance at our local Mardels and have been singing it over and over. It is a catchy tune based on the list of begats in the Gospel of Matthew. The book is designed like a really cute photo album and comes with a CD of the song which you can listen to here. It has sparked some really good questions and inspired us to dive into the Old Testament!

I forgot to add the link to the book above. Here it is:

The Ballad of Matthew's Begats

They were only $2 at our Mardels because the included CD's were mislabeled (digitally, not externally).
