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

It's Our Job Now...

As we wait and watch with our dearest Holy Father , Pope John Paul II, as he goes through his own personal crucifixion, let us be open to what God is telling us. Look around our world and see what is happening.
In my lifetime, there have been three 'super-saints' : Padre Pio, Mother Teresa, and Pope John Paul. With his death, what holiness on earth will stem the tide of evil? What super-saint will take over from the Pope as a living and breathing witness to Christ? Who is being called?

WE ARE, ladies, WE ARE. WE are called to be the next saints. The responsibility for becoming holy falls upon us, to take over where the Pope leaves off. A tremendous force of little saints, living in the heart of Christ... It's our job now...

Holly, Just reading this was so affirming b/c our pastor spoke like this during his homily this morning. While we mourn, and rightly we should, such an amazing & holy man as Pope John Paul II, we need to remain an Easter people, a people of hope & a future that we can make better each in our own little place in the world. John Paul II, We Love You!!! Mary
