Ave to all Mothers


One day a young woman who pondered much in her heart was told without a shred of doubt
'a sword will pierce your own soul too.' (Lk 2:25-35)

As I bow my head and sometimes my knees to thank the Sovereign Lord for the brilliant caretakers he has given so many of us in mothers, in the recesses of my own soul I know that to embrace motherhood is to hear echoes of the same words, for suffering and joy are inextricably related.

Ave to all Mothers
your calling is sacred
