Being a mother can be crazy at times. Where do you turn for encouragement? The lives of the saints are a great source of inspiration and reassurance. The holy women in Saintly Moms can help us better to understand motherhood as a vocation, just like any other calling from God, and a path to holiness. Whether you're a new mom, a grandmother, or somewhere in between, this book will encourage all mothers in their vocation as they identify themselves in the lives of these saints, who also experienced the joys and challenges of being a mom. Their stories will also be inspiring to young women considering the vocation of motherhood and anyone with an interest in saints. Each chapter profiles a different holy mother, reflects on a lesson learned from her life, and ends with a prayer through her intercession. While we grow in admiration and devotion to them, these Saintly Moms can help us see the saintly possibilities each one of us possesses.
