                        Church as Home and Mother                                            Women                                                    Motherhood

She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family….She sets about her work, vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.

Proverbs 31:15-17

Monday: The Church has received from Jesus the precious treasure of the Gospel, not to keep for herself, but giving generously to others-as a mother does. In this service of evangelisation, the maternity of the Church is shown in a particular way-committed, as a mother, offering her children the spiritual Nourishment that feeds and makes fruitful Christian life.

Tuesday: The mother Church, she gives her children this word, throughout our whole life with this word. And this is great it’d a mother Church who, with this word, really changes us from the inside. The words that mother Church gives us, transform us, making our humanity beat not according to the flesh bit according to the Spirit.

Wednesday: In her motherly care, the Church strives to show believers the way to go to live a fruitful existence of joy and peace.

Thursday: The Church is a woman! The Church is a Mother! And that is Beautiful! We have to think deeply about this.

Friday: Dear Friends, this is the Church: that we all love. A mother who has at heart the welfare of their children, that has the capacity to give life to her children.

Saturday:  Mary’s motherhood is certainly unique, singular, and was accomplished in the fullness of time, when the Virgin gave birth to the Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit.
