Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Mother's Day | catholic family life | motherhood
Through the channel of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart, it is God’s love that molds women into virtuous mothers. There is no escaping that women truly desire to share love and to help those in need. The fruitful nature of women thrives when their purpose is to love beyond their selfish tendencies and to find God’s love in that process. This is the growth of the heart of every mother who strives towards virtuous living. The vocation of motherhood is a slow process toward sainthood, in which God patiently waits for our spiritual growth. Too frequently, society considers motherhood solely the process of raising children. This is a true and beautiful fact, but it has an even deeper spiritual element that is oftentimes lost in the secular world. Motherhood is the means towards sainthood—not only our own personal sanctity, but also that of our husband and children.
