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.

Written by a rabbi but the thoughts are wonderful no matter what religion.   

I like these "food for thought" articles because they give you some intelligent comments when the discussion of large families comes up.

Even though the author is discussing a profoundly sad trend, his personal witness is absolutely beautiful. For someone to see his children as his greatest pleasure ... Now those are straight priorities!

Peace,
Nancy

Thank you.

I don't know what is wrong with me. I cannot make a link correctly and then if I do, (by luck!) I can't remember how I did it.

BTW, Rabbi Schmuley Boteach is very widely known and he even had a show "Shalom in the Home" on TLC. He sometimes is controversial but for the most part, he has the right idea.
