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.

Thanks for the link

I've copied it to a bunch of my friends who are often asked "what, you're having another" or "don't you think you have enough already"

Blessings,

I always tell people who say that (and so many people do.. ) that there is no such thing as enough when it comes to prayer, money, chocolate and especially children

My husband's favorite line is that you can never have too many children or books!

Another good article is:
The Blessings of Children

I especially like the part where a good reason to have children is because they are funny.
