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.

Aw, congratulations! Little boys are wonderful! My two oldest boys are now young men, so I am truly enjoying my youngest son, who just turned 7. He has four sisters, too, and I tell him often that God knew I still needed to have a little boy in the house! (Love those girls, too!:)) Wonderful news!
Congratulations, Jessica! My computer was stuck loading the page and I was dying to find out about your little one! All I saw was, "Thank Heaven" and part of the sonogram while it took forever to load!
You are now carrying a little son on the same timeline as our Blessed Mother did. How neat!
Best wishes for a smooth pregnancy and delivery!
