A Special Gift…

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.

I received a special book today in the mail too!! It brought tears to my eyes, just reading the title!! I'd never heard of it. Beautiful book. Thank you so very much Jessica!! God bless you.
Very beautiful book, and candle …
Que Dieu vous bénissent !
Many prayers for you and your family as you celebrate your saints in heaven. God Bless you.
God constantly blesses us with little miracles, we have but to notice them!
They have some beautiful publications on hard-to-find saints. We have the booklet The Story of the Vasilopita (St. Basil) which I like to read on the feast of St. Basil(January 2). It is small–a nice stocking stuffer or little gift for the "12 Days of Christmas." "The Nativity of Christ" and "The Gifts of the Magi" are also beautiful little booklets and nice stocking stuffers. I like to use the booklets to teach kids about "reading icons."

The candle is actually the one that you sent to us! I love it!! And I found the "candle sleeve" while I was out shopping the other day. 🙂
Thank you! May God bless you and your family too!
I'm so glad it arrived, and I was more than happy to send it to you! It's perfect for your precious little man! 🙂
So, so true!!
Thank you for the suggestions! I will have to look into them.
Where's the "like" button? 🙂
What age would you say this book is geared to? Would it be a good read aloud book for preschool/kindergarten age? I am looking for a good St. Christopher book for my boys to help them learn about the saint we will be asking to watch over their daddy while he.is deployed.
My Kindergartner did enjoy listening to the Saint Christopher book. If you'd like to preview it you can listen to an audio version here: Christopher Part 1 and Christopher – Conclusion
You can also preview the pages of the book on the publisher's website.
We will say a prayer for your husband, and you!! God bless you all!
