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.

Hi, I'm Paula, sister of Maureen from your local parish and friend of Angela in AL. Angela told me about your blog when I asked for suggestions. Then in looking at your New Years' post I figured out you were someone Maureen had mentioned! As she probably told you, we had met your brother-in-law Fr. T. before. A very small world. I enjoy browsing your blog as I love celebrating the liturgical year at home, taking pics of our 3 little ones (future homeschoolers), and just feeling more connected to others with similar interests and goals! God bless your lovely family.
