Honoring Our Lady

by | Aug 23, 2009 | Kids Artwork, Liturgical Year, Marian | 1 comment

Yesterday was the feast of the Queenship of Mary, as well as the traditional feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

I spent most of the morning and early afternoon running errands and grocery shopping (By myself!!!!) so I didn’t have an opportunity to make a crown cake like we did last year.  Anne did though, add hers turned out absolutely beautiful!  Perhaps we will be able to make another one in May, on the traditional feast of the Queenship of Mary, which is also the day Captain received his First Holy Communion…   (Speaking of which, I still laugh whenever I remember that day!)

Nevertheless, I still had a little bit of time to whip up a batch of simple crown cupcakes and print a few lovely coloring pages for our children to enjoy after we prayed the rosary last night.

Hail, holy Queen enthroned above, O Maria.
Hail, Queen of mercy and of love, O Maria.

Triumph, all ye cherubim, Sing with us, ye seraphim,
Heaven and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, salve, salve Regina!

Our life, our sweetness, here below, O Maria!
Our hope in sorrow and in woe, O Maria!

Triumph, all ye cherubim, Sing with us, ye seraphim,
Heaven and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, salve, salve Regina!

(The children & I practiced this beautiful hymn each morning this past week in honor of Our Lady’s feasts both this Saturday and last.)

    You are just so clever. I love how you don't miss a chance to love and serve the Lord and teach your children the faith. Deo Gratias! God bless you.

Prayer of Mothers

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.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
