Today, Mother's Day, is a good time to reflect on the role of a mother.
My memories of my own mother are tinged with bitter-sweetness. She was only 48 years old when she died, leaving behind a family of eight children.
My father had already passed on, yet despite poor health, she soldiered on until God decided to call her home.
No one can take the place of a loving mother. We missed her terribly, yet God cloaked the cross with kindness.
He gave us his own Mother to look after us. She never fails in her role as a Mother and helps us in more ways than we are even aware of.
What a privilege it is to be guided by the Mother of God.
