    Back Cover Synopsis: 

    This delightful rhyming book introduces Catholic children to the Blessed Virgin Mary in a fun and simple way - through her clothes!

    When Our Lady lived in Nazareth two thousand years ago, she was very poor and probably didn't have many nice things to wear. But now that she's in Heaven, she has an enormous mansion. And in that mansion she has an incredibly beautiful wardrobe filled with a great variety of dresses, veils, slippers, sashes, robes, rings, and crowns. 

    Over the centuries, Our Lady has visited the people of Earth many times. On each of these occasions she has dressed very differently. Our Lady's Wardrobe tells us the story of some of her most famous apparitions, highlighting the clothes she wore and the things she did. 

    By reading this book, children will not only learn about the Mother of God, but will also learn the main purpose of her life - to love and serve her Son, Jesus Christ, and to lead others to do the same.

Sonnet 39 by William Shakespeare

Sonnet 39

by William Shakespeare

O, how thy worth with manners may I sing,
When thou art all the better part of me?
What can mine own praise to mine own self bring?
And what is 't but mine own when I praise thee?
Even for this let us divided live,
And our dear love lose name of single one,
That by this separation I may give
That due to thee which thou deservest alone.
O absence, what a torment wouldst thou prove,
Were it not thy sour leisure gave sweet leave
To entertain the time with thoughts of love,
Which time and thoughts so sweetly doth deceive,
And that thou teachest how to make one twain,
By praising him here who doth hence remain!
