the charge of raising my children, the ones the Lord has lent out to me, and assisting/encouraging my husband, etc. is serious business indeed! the business of getting into heaven!
i have been realizing the profound responsibilities placed on my shoulders. they aren't burdensome. rather, they are inspiring. it's something for me to live up to. The marriage promise at the altar, the Baptismal promise of each of my children... the daily conversion of my own faith...
I take the Holy Family, The Blessed Mother, the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary as my role models. I also invoke their blessing and protection on my spouse and children. We need them like a child needs their mother. Our world is so hostile and the supernatural war is afoot.
Amen.
