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

Wanting What God Wants

"The person that loves God with his whole heart asks sincerely with the apostle: "Lord, what do you want me to do?"(Acts 9:6) Lord, tell me all that you want me to do, for I am determined to do it! Let us understand well that when we want what God wants, we want what is best for ourselves; for God certainly wants nothing but what is for our good."
St. Alphonsus Liguori, 'Love God and Do What YouPlease', Liguori Publications, 1970, p84

Holly said...: One day early in my marriage I was sitting on the couch feeling depressed with life, my head swimming with confusion. In desperation, I cried out, "Holy Spirit, what can I do?" It was like He yelled at me: "GO DO YOUR LAUNDRY!" I was so shocked that I hopped off the couch and went and put a load in. By the time I was done, all my confusion and discombobulation was gone! To fulfill our motherly duties is God's Will for us and peace is found only in God's Will.; 1:30 PM
