I studied from preschool through high school in an all-girls private Catholic school, achieving first place in every single grade. This record of excellence provides me with the experience and the legitimate authority to publish my Blanca-Laura Method for Getting Good Grades.
The religious sisters consecrated us as « Daughters of the Incarnate Word. » This identity has shaped my discipline and my devotion to knowledge.
I have infused this same rigor and spiritual strength into my programs. For those who wish to provide their children, or themselves, with the keys to this success, you may discover my Blanca-Laura Method for Getting Good Grades here.
Here are the symbols of my journey: the photograph of my original medal, along with the lyrics and the prayer that guide me.
This medal, which I have cherished since the 1980s, stands as a living testament to this heritage of excellence.
Here are the lyrics to the anthem to the Incarnate Word:
Español
Somos hijos del Verbo Encarnado
¿Hay acaso nobleza mayor?
Invoquemos su nombre sagrado
y entonemos un himno en su honor.
Verbo Eterno, tus hijos amantes
a ti claman con férvido anhelo
y elevan los ojos al cielo,
esperando les muestres tu faz.
Sus plegarias, acoge benigno,
a sus ruegos inclina tu frente,
y de gracia copioso torrente
en sus almas derrama ¡Oh Señor!
Somos hijos del Verbo Encarnado
¿Hay acaso nobleza mayor?
Invoquemos su nombre sagrado
y entonemos un himno en su honor.
Corazones a ti consagrados
y que tienen por único anhelo
extender tu reinado en el suelo
que por patria les diste, Señor.
Son ¡Oh Cristo! las huestes triunfantes,
que a tu nombre su vida ofrendaron
y en la lucha gloriosa clamaron:
¡Gloria, gloria para ti, Rey Inmortal!
Somos hijos del Verbo Encarnado
¿Hay acaso nobleza mayor?
Invoquemos su nombre sagrado
y entonemos un himno en su honor.
English Translation
We are children of the Incarnate Word
Is there any greater nobility?
Let us invoke His sacred name
And sing a hymn in His honor.
Eternal Word, Your loving children
Cry out to You with fervent longing
And lift their eyes to heaven,
Waiting for You to show them Your face.
Receive their prayers with kindness,
Incline Your brow to their pleas,
And a copious torrent of grace
Pour into their souls, O Lord!
We are children of the Incarnate Word
Is there any greater nobility?
Let us invoke His sacred name
And sing a hymn in His honor.
Hearts consecrated to You
Whose only desire Is to extend
Your reign upon the earth
Which You gave them as their homeland, Lord.
They are, O Christ, the triumphant hosts,
Who offered their lives to Your name
And in the glorious struggle cried out:
Glory, glory to You, Immortal King!
We are children of the Incarnate Word
Is there any greater nobility?
Let us invoke His sacred name
And sing a hymn in His honor.
Here is the Prayer to the Incarnate Word:
Español
¡Oh Divino Verbo Encarnado!
que por amor al hombre te hiciste niño,
tomando carne de las Purísimas entrañas de la Santísima Virgen,
dándonos admirable ejemplo de humildad y caridad;
da consuelo en las penas,
aliento en la virtud,
fortaleza en la tentación,
paz en las familias
y un gran amor en los corazones a Ti consagrados.
Que todos te conozcan y te amen.
Divino Verbo Encarnado oye la súplica que te hago
y concédeme por los méritos de la Santísima Virgen,
tu Madre y mía,
la gracia que te pido, si es para tu mayor honra
y gloria y bien de mi alma. Amén.
Divino Verbo Encarnado, ¡te adoro y te amo con todo mi corazón!
Verbo Encarnado, en esta necesidad, muéstranos tu poder.
English Translation
O Divine Incarnate Word!
Who for love of man became a child,
Taking flesh from the most pure womb of the Blessed Virgin,
Giving us an admirable example of humility and charity;
Give comfort in sorrows,
Encouragement in virtue,
Strength in temptation,
Peace in families
And a great love in the hearts consecrated to You.
May everyone know You and love You.
Divine Incarnate Word, hear the plea I make to You
And grant me, through the merits of the Blessed Virgin,
Your Mother and mine,
The grace I ask of You, if it is for Your greater honor
And glory, and the good of my soul. Amen.
Divine Incarnate Word, I adore You and love You with all my heart!
Incarnate Word, in this time of need, show us Your power.
