Learning to Love with Mothers

 

•  Genesis 3:20 - The first woman who gave birth
• Judges 4:4-5, 5:7 - The spiritual motherhood. A woman that cares for people inside the churches. Woman that gives love, warmth, love and protection for others.
• 1 Samuel 1:27-28 - A mother that prays, intercedes.
• 1 Samuel 2:19 - A mother that cares for her child in every detail
• 1 Kings 3:16-27 - A mother that gives up her  feelings, desires, anything, in detrimento of the good of her child. She does not think twice before taking a decision in favor of her child
• Luke 2:21-22 - A mother taking her baby to the temple early
• Luke 2:41-42 - A mother teaching the way to her son
• Luke 2:51 - A careful mother. A mother that pays attention.
• Luke 2:34-35 - A mother that suffers a lot because of her son. Remember the mothers that suffer these days with the wrong choices of their children.
• John 2:1-5 - A helpful mother, trying to foresee the needs of her son



Thinking about all these characteristics we find in a mother´s heart, don´t you think you can recognize them in a father´s heart?

These qualities may be recognized in a single person´s heart!

One way or another, you are a little mother!

• Matthew 12:46-50 - Jesus teaches us about this calling to take care of each other. In Him, we are all children, brothers, parents... All together in this great Family!
• The mother figure, with all those qualities, fits well the second commandment Jesus left to us: "And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself" Matthew 22:39
• Mothers love more! They love their children more than themselves.
• Learn from them about love and ask the Holy Spirit to help you on this challenge of loving others!

 

Happy and blessed mothers day!

To all kinds of moms!
