The Hand that Rocks the Cradle

Mothers raise their children, shape their characters, and so influence the types of society the next generation will create. Mary, who was pregnant before her marriage to Joseph, faced the threat of stoning in those times. She also witnessed her son crucified on the cross like a criminal. Motherhood is never easy, but we have Mary, a mother who empathizes with the hardships faced by mothers and all people. She is always there to intercede to her Son on our behalf. Happy Mother's Day. -Novena Devotion by Fr. Glenn De Cruz, C.Ss.R. (11 May 2024)
