ISHOP FULTON J. SHEEN once explained the importance of motherhood: “Human motherhood is two-fold in essence and is a more complex thing than motherhood among the animals. There is, first, the physical act of giving birth, which women share with all of nature. As the tree bears fruit and the hen hatches her eggs, so every mother, by the act of

birth is bound up with the life of all living things, and of her may be rightly said, ‘Blessed is the fruit of thy womb.’ But human motherhood has a second and far lordlier aspect - that of the spirit. The soul of a child does not emanate from the mother’s soul or body, but is freshly created by God Himself, Who infuses it into the body of the unborn child. Physiological motherhood is glorified by this co-operation with God Himself, who fathered the baby’s soul and then permitted a woman to clothe it in her flesh. The human mother does not bear a mere animal but a man, made to the image and likeness of the God Who created him. Every birth requires a submission and a disciplining. The earth itself must undergo harrowing before it passively accepts the seed. In woman, the submission is not passive. It is sacrificial, consciously creative, and for this selflessness her whole nature has been formed. It is well known that women are capable of far more sustained sacrifice than men; a man may be a hero in a crisis, which enables a woman to be heroic through the years, months, days and even seconds of her life, when the very repetitive monotony of her tasks wears down the spirit. Not only a woman’s days

O Mary, Conceived without original sin, make my body pure and my soul holy. Hail Mary… (3 times morning & night)

AJESTIC QUEEN OF HEAVEN AND MISTRESS OF THE ANGELS, thou didst receive from God the power and commission to crush the head of Satan; wherefore we humbly beseech thee, send

forth the legions of Heaven, that, under thy command, they may seek out all evil spirits, engage them everywhere in battle, curb their insolence, and hurl them back into the pit of Hell. “Who is like unto God?” O good and tender Mother, thou shalt ever be our hope and the object of our love. O Mother of God, send forth the holy Angels to defend us and drive far from us the cruel foe. Holy Angels and Archangels, defend us and keep us. Amen.

To dress becomingly for God and neighbor, and in keeping with the reverence due to the Blessed Sacrament, kindly refrain from wearing shorts, tee-shirts, tank-tops, revealing blouses, sleeveless or backless dresses, or form-fitting clothing of any sort. Please wear dresses and skirts that fall below the knee when sitting even with leggings. With due regard to time and circumstance, all are encouraged to wear decorous attire befitting sacred and divine worship.

but her nights must share in the Calvary of Motherhood. This is why women have a surer understanding of the doctrine of redemption than men have; they have come to associate the risk of life and death in childbirth, and to understand the sacrifice of self to another through the many months preceding it.” A happy and blessed Mother’s Day to all our mothers!—Fr. Shannon Collins, MSJB, Pastor.

To be a Mother... ON EARTH IS A MOTHER.

She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral.

She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral—a dwelling place for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body...

The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in God’s creative miracle to bring new saints to Heaven.

Only a human mother can. Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other

human creature. God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of

creation... What on God’s earth is more glorious than this:

to be a mother.— Cardinal Joseph Mindszenty

OUR LADY OF GOOD SUCCESS predicted the attack in our times upon HOLY MATRIMONY...

S FOR THE SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY, which symbolizes the union of Christ with His Church, it will be attacked and profaned in the fullest sense of the word.

Masonry, which will then be in power, will enact iniquitous laws with the objective of doing away with this Sacrament, making it easy for everyone to live in sin, encouraging the procreation of illegitimate children born without the blessing of the Church. The Christian spirit will rapidly decay, extinguishing the precious light of Faith until it reaches the point that there will be an almost total and general corruption of customs. The effects of secular education will increase, which will be one reason for the lack of priestly and religious vocations…”
