Blue Knights vs. Little Flowers

Playing with Little People
I was quite surprised last night when Twinkle Toes called me into the nursery to see the "Little People go to Mass!" I guess she decided they had done enough farming lately and that it was high time to convert the barns into a church, choir loft and all! She also...

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.
