On midlife courage, surprises, and Providence
Jesus and Mary, thank you for the godly women that you send into my life. Today I had breakfast with one of my good friends. The kind of friend that you lament that circumstances prevent you both from getting together more often, but you are so glad that you did. We talked about the transitions…

Read MoreThis makes me think… it’s one of the best definitions of spiritual motherhood I’ve read
Spiritual motherhood… means nurturing the emotional, moral, cultural, and spiritual life in others. All women are called to give birth — physically and/or spiritually. All women are called to be Christ-bearers, to receive divine life in the womb of their souls and bear Christ to the world. All women are called to see in Mary’s…
