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.

Beautiful! And I love how they all fit in that nice-sized window.:) Have a Blessed Lent.
Yes, they fit perfectly on the windowsill!! I think we may just leave them there for Lent. 🙂
Gorgeous! I'm inspired now— we need to break our kit out of the closet 🙂
They came out fantastic! Great job! I went the lame route and just printed and colored (as my kids are too young to do a neat coloring job) some Stations of teh Cross images and plan to laminate them and hang them. BTW thank you so much for so many great ideas. We are doing your Lenten Calendar this year (my oldest is just 3) and he is loving counting the pennies and collecting food from the pantry etc.
So beautiful Jessica. Thank you for sharing. GREAT JOB again! BRAVO! {{internet high fives}} lol
The windowsill is just perfect for them! They turned out lovely.
I was debating whether to buy these next year with the MODG 1st grade curriculum…you've got me convinced now! They're beautiful!
Those turned out great!!!
Really beautiful! +JMJ+
You did it!! That big pile of craft sticks turned in to those beautiful stations. Great job.
Oh, how lovely these came out, Jessica Great job!
I saw this kit at our local Catholic bookstore and was debating whether to purchase it. Yours turned out beautifully; I think it may be a project I'll undertake! Thank you for sharing the photos.
Wonderful! Congrats!!! Your family heavenly blessed! May you have a blessed Lent! Greetings from Brazil
