Happy Birthday Holy Father!

by | Apr 16, 2008 | Happy Birthday, Lap Books | 4 comments

So, it turns out that my parents were married on the 50th Birthday of our dear Pope Benedict!! That would make today Pope Benedict XVI’s 81st birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

In honor of our Holy Father’s birthday AND his visit to the United States!! We are spending the week watching lots of EWTN live online, as well as making a lapbook!

We started our lapbooks this morning with:

(YES!!! Those are our new fish!! I will tell you more about them later!)

We will continue later today after we return from town–Captain has another lesson with Mrs. K. There are just SO MANY ideas and links out there… (Our favorite has been this one.) Thank you everyone for sharing!

OH! And don’t forget to check out Catholic Cuisine, Amy just posted a great suggestion for a Birthday Dinner for Papa Ben!

    Jessica….Thanks for making me feel better. However, reading your blog now for a couple of weeks you are so organized I really find it hard to believe. Thanks again. I really felt bad. It was my step-mother that I forgot.

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.
