Welcome to "Thoughts for Moms"

Dear Friends,

"Thoughts for Mom" is a special place to receive spiritual sustenance related to the vocation of motherhood. Here I will post various reflections — from popes, saints, and Catholic writers, to my thoughts and yours — to help us better live our mission as Moms, and to help us give our vocation the depth of meaning God intended it to have.
Once more, you and I both have something to share, so please join me in adding meditations and personal insights in the comments section under each post, or contacting me at holly@mothersruleoflife.com with your own reflection to add.

God Bless,
Holly Pierlot

The Duty of the Moment

"God speaks today as He spoke to our fathers, when directors were not so numerous, nor methods of direction so well defined... Each moment brought a duty to be faithfully fulfilled; this was sufficient for interior souls of that day... Then, as now, it was all reduced to the simplest and most absolute abandonment of the soul to the will of God under whatever form it manifested itself."
Rev J.P. de Caussade, SJ , 'Abandonment or Absolute Surrender to Divine Providence', Benzinger Brothers, NY, 1945, p31-32.

We don't have to look very far to know what God's Will is in our lives - it's not so mysterious. What God wants from us Moms is presented to us, moment by moment, in our daily duties. Circumstances are not mere chance, but a direct invitation of God to serve Him in the here and now. Is it time to pray? That is God's Will. Is it time to make supper? That is God's Will. Is it time to cuddle our husbands? That too is God's Will.
