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.

Very cute! We made Mardi Gras Monkey Bread out of cinnamon rolls. The kids loved pulling it apart with their hands!
Those came out so cute! Great idea!
Good idea. I wasn't up to the full-blown, from scratch King Cake either, so my daughter made a regular spice cake and we decorated the white icing with purple, green and yellow sugar. It was festive and no one had any complaints about cake on a week night. 🙂
Having an English father, my wife wouldn't miss making hot cross buns on Ash WEdnesday!
