The Courage of Motherhood

Saying yes to God is at the heart of every Christian prayer: to be wholly his, because he is wholly ours. To answer the call to motherhood is one of the most beautiful and courageous ways of saying yes to God in this way.    The heart of Mary, our Blessed Mother, was full of grace. It was this grace that supplied her with the courage to say yes in spite of the confusion and other emotions she must have experienced.    May we pray for all expectant mothers, that despite their circumstances, they will have the courage to say yes like Our Lady did—like Rachel did.    Our Lady of Hope, pray for us!   References: Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2617)   To learn more about Mary's Shelter, visit: https://marysshelterva.org/.    Search for More Episodes: https://www.arlingtondiocese.org/sear...   #SearchingForMore #SFM #Relationship #Jesus
