Ecclesiasticus 26:1-4, 16-21. Luke 7:11-17

I, the Father’s Love Incarnate and His Incarnate Word, am the Saviour of the world. My place and My vocation in the world of men was prophesied and fulfilled in time, My love powerful to save and – with and through Our Holy Spirit - sanctify all who seek truth for themselves and others in every generation.

Let every mother dedicate herself to the spiritual well-being of her sons and daughters. Through prayer and right discipline in love and through dedication to the Father’s will and loving purpose she will then set each one on the way to his or her own journey. The choice of way and of direction must be theirs, her part to support in prayer and love and single-mindedness, offering advice with sensitivity as she is led and guided.
