Wild One Birthday Party
"Oh what fun! She's a wild one!"I still can't believe our baby girl is one already! At just 16.5 lbs she is still one of our smallest children, but she doesn't let her tiny little body keep her from doing anything and everything. She seems to have endless energy and...

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.
