Feast of the Motherhood of Mary
"We are mothers of our Lord Jesus Christ when we carry him in our hearts and in our bodies, lovingly, and with a pure and sincere conscience, and give birth to him through the working of his grace in us which should shine forth as an example to others." --St. Francis, Letter to All the Faithful, Second Version
I love the analogy of being the Lord's mother because we "give birth to him through the working of his grace in us." Realizing this, would it spur us on to nurture Him in us better so that He will "shine forth" more clearly?
