The Saint of the Week by CaptainWe had busy yet fun day of swimming followed by Summer with the Saints. I'll try and post a few pictures soon, but in the meantime, any guesses on which saint was featured this week?
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
