hands of Jesus in our time, our purpose is to express God’s grace

by offering Christian Love and

Please remember that modesty, respect and good judgment in

when attending mass or other church services.

Dresses, skirts and shorts should be near the knee. Off the

shoulder or low cut dresses or blouses, tank tops, muscle shirts

and tight fitting clothes are a sign of disrespect to the church.

Fourth Sunday of Easter

May 12, 2019

MOTHER’S DAY

I originally wrote this in 2011 after my heart attack. It’s just as real

today as it was then.

I write this as a mother. Being a mother is the hardest job ever, but

the most fulfilling, rewarding and definitely, one of the most meaning-

ful jobs. Right from the beginning, we are there pushing, prodding,

and guiding in slow spirals towards the stars. Love has no answers,

yet its beauty answers all.

There are so many memories and so many emotions. There is so

much laughter, so many tears of sadness and joy and so much pride.

Lullaby’s sung while holding children in our arms. We cry with them

when they receive their required shots. We celebrate, with pride,

their Baptisms. Watch them take their first steps and crossing un-

steadily across the floor until finally, they walk, steadily, out the door.

Then, comes the potty training, first day of school, First Communion,

Confirmation, first date, first formal dance, first heart break, high

school graduation and the beginning of their adult lives, needing us

less and less.

And we worry now "Are they ok?" Is there more we could have

done? As we walk in the paths of our unknown we sometimes wonder

"Where have my children gone and what, in God’s name, ARE they

doing?" We don’t, always, understand what they do and WHY they

do what they do. They don’t seem to always follow what we’ve taught

them. But, they are where we have led them. With a special love,

we’ve showed them the way, to believe in themselves and the decisions

they make, while taking on the challenges of life day-to-day. Where

ever they go, they can be sure, in spirit, they will never be alone.

Mom will always be our “home.” I always have the hope that my

children and grandchildren feel the same about me. It doesn’t matter

where we live; we, mothers, are “home.”

The most difficult part of being a mother, for me, is letting go. As my

children and grandchildren grow into adulthood, their decisions are

just that, their decisions. Although as mothers, our guidance is still

available, it is at their request. And as they become adults, they need

our support and love more than ever. We need to give their lives to

God, let go, and let God. God said, "Here's My plan for you: Give

your life to Me, and just let go (His plan may not necessarily be our

plan). Have faith and pray, and read the Bible and you'll have bless-

ings more than you can know."

Today is a day to thank my mother and mother-In-law for all their

love and support all these past years, to take a moment and catch my

breath, to thank God for my blessings while asking Him for healing

for my family. So simple, yet it brings me perfect peace; Living life

for God the way I should. Direction, purpose, fullness and release-

Life with God is very, very good.

However, I am always mindful of the luxury mothers in the Western

world have to contemplate on how and why we do what we do and, so,

I especially ask for your prayers for those mothers in parts of the

world who are watching their children die through extreme poverty

and war. These mothers who manage to cling on to their faith are the

true Christian Mothers.

What does it mean for me to be a mom? It means, love. Pure and

simple, love.

I’ll end with a short prayer: Lord, help me to treasure every phone

call, e-mail, letter and visit with my kids and to be grateful they’re all

on their own making their own happiness. Amen

Yours in Christ,

Lorella
