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.

Here's what we made for Advent to prepare our hearts for Jesus' Birth:


The children place a piece of "straw" in the baby bed each time they do an act of love for someone else.

I blogged about it here:

This is so nice! What a great idea...
We are just using the napkin basket from the table!
And we are "stealing" hay from our rabbit to put in. I guess he'll get it back after Epiphany!

That's a neat idea too! LOL I do like to use what I have on hand, and I had plenty of yarn and no bunny with hay.
