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.

...turns sixteen tomorrow. Where does the time go? My reflection on having a "Christmas Baby" is on O Night Divine today. I put up a picture on my blog as well. He is much taller than I am and about to pass his almost 6' tall Dad in the near future!

I had my dd 12/22, in the car on the way to the hospital, in a bank parking lot, with only my husband in attendance, at 2am!! It was an amazing experience!
She just turned 6.
There is something so peaceful about having a newborn at this time of year. Nursing in the middle of the night by the Christmas lights....the music....I always think back to those simpler days.
I also identify with Mary and her travels and journey. It is neat to be able to share...
Happy Birthday to Ben and enjoy the memories, Mom!
