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.

..interesting article on Catholic Exchange today..

The School of Family

I am a little incredulous at the new book - My Beautiful Mommy - what next??!!

What would they think of all of us mothers on this list with all our numbers of children and the 'joys' that go with this - spider veins, falling hair, mask of pregnancy etc etc

But who cares.. I'd much rather see myself through the eyes of my children who see me through *love* which makes me beautiful to them no matter what society might think

The "wisdom of children" part of this article broke my heart. What do parents think things like "I have as much as I can handle" say to their current children? I am sure all the pro-choice people out there are happy their parents chose life, no matter what their defects.

(Sorry for the rant. I hate the anti-life culture we're in. It's frustrating that I have to defend my love for children.)
