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

A Dictatorship of Relativism - Affecting Mothers?

"... Whereas relativism, that is, letting oneself be 'tossed here and there, carried by every wind of doctrine', seems the only attitude that [our society thinks] can cope with modern times. We are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one's own ego and desires. We however, have a different goal: The Son of God, the true man. He is the measure of true humanism."
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, homily at the Mass "Pro Eligendo Romano Pontiface", St Peter's Archbasilica, 18th April 2005.
