“As I think of all my mother has done to raise me in righteousness, I realize that this is a heritage that mothers pass on. Surely fathers have an important role, but I looked to my mother and her divine and sacred nature. I am saddened by the world today that views motherhood as a burden, which teaches young women to ‘live their own lives,’ to ‘be more than a mother.’ How can a woman be more or greater than a mother? Where would we be without good and loving mothers to guide us? I think about mothers and the important part they have in teaching their children the ways of the Lord. The strength of the next generation depends on the strength of the one before.”
