"When we had our children, our ideas changed somewhat. Thenceforward we lived only for them; they made all our happiness and we would never have found it save in them. In fact, nothing any longer cost us anything; the world was no longer a burden to us. As for me, my children were my great compensation, so that I wished to have many in order to bring them up for Heaven" -- Saint Zelie Martin, mother of St. Therese of Lisieux, canonized October 18, 2015 along with her husband St. Louis Martin.

Mother's Day 2016

Happy Mother's Day!


"No; a woman's function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute.  I will pity 
Mrs. Jones for the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness."
 --G.K. Chesterton
