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.
Amazing carvings! If we do a pumpkin, we cut out stars or even just dots using an apple corer!
Beautiful pumpkins! Your family really has quite an artistic "eye" for these carvings! What a lovely idea…I will be adding this to my new & growing list of ways to celebrate as a family, for next year 🙂
I love them! They are beautiful and such a wonderful expression of faith!
Those are simply beautiful.
Wowie, Zowie! These are incredible, Jessica…and Hallowed for sure. God Bless your All Saint's Day.
Beautiful!
Truly beautiful! every one of them!
