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

Our Obligation to Give so Others Can Live

"In wealthier nations, when hard times hit, we cut back on discretionary spending. We eat out less frequently, we cut back on movies, we are more careful with our energy usage... The destitute, who are already barely existing on less than one or two dollars a day, are faced with enormous price increases on the staple foods on which their very survival depends. What do they cut back on?"

The goods of the earth are given by God to all on the earth. For those who have more, their duty is to dispose of the resources by sharing. This Food for the Poor quote is very real, very urgent. Please, in these times when we suffer due to rising oil & food costs, lets not forget the real poor. Sign up and begin to donate - any charity organization for the poor - and lets give from our excess or from our need, to help others who are far worse off.
