Happy Mother's Day...

Rediscovering everyday mothering � More mothers are staying at home - Catholic Online:

"In a new twist, women today are choosing raising children over building careers, and the idea that homemaking has a special dignity all its own is catching on once again.

Many media reports claim that Ivy League college graduates in comfortable careers are just as likely to leave the job as less career-oriented women. Recent studies, widely publicized, have shown that at-home mothers are also happier in their marriages.

The trend is also gaining a foothold in Great Britain, where the Sunday Times reported April 16 that the new educated woman 'is a housewife,' who regards her prime responsibility as bringing up the children.

For many Catholic moms, staying home with children is neither a new trend nor a revelation for its marriage-strengthening properties. Embracing the vocation of motherhood is about embracing God's will, many say, and making the sacrifice for the greater good. "

The Little Shepherds

Mother Of All Peoples:
"My last words are for the children: dear boys and girls, I see so many of you dressed like Francisco and Jacinta. You look very nice! But in a little while or tomorrow you will take these clothes off and... the little shepherds will disappear. They should not disappear, should they?! Our Lady needs you all to console Jesus, who is sad because of the bad things done to him; he needs your prayers and your sacrifices for sinners.
Ask your parents and teachers to enroll you in the 'school' of Our Lady, so that she can teach you to be like the little shepherds, who tried to do whatever she asked them. I tell you that 'one makes more progress in a short time of submission and dependence on Mary than during entire years of personal initiatives, relying on oneself alone.' (1) This was how the little shepherds became saints so quickly. A woman who gave hospitality to Jacinta in Lisbon, on hearing the very beautiful and wise advice that the little girl gave, asked who taught it to her. 'It was Our Lady,' she replied. Devoting themselves with total generosity to the direction of such a good Teacher, Jacinta and Francisco soon reached the heights of perfection.
'Father, to you I offer praise, for what you have hidden from the learned and the clever you have revealed to the merest children.'
Father, to you I offer praise for all your children, from the Virgin Mary, your humble Servant, to the little shepherds, Francisco and Jacinta.
May the message of their lives live on forever to light humanity's way!

John Paul II"
