The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood

I have just recently begun this Apostalate and have already been richly blessed with a deep personal peace and a more harmonious home. I will just give a quick list of all the apostolate entails referring to the book and then if you feel called you can pursue it further. -An Apostolate of mothers consecrated to the Mother of God for the glory of God -Pursuit of the Divine Will in their lives -Contemplative prayer -Eucharistic Adoration -Practice do evangelical purity -Devotion to the Christ Child, esteem and appreciation for children -Devotion to the Holy Family, communication of the faith to their children -Fifteen decade daily Rosary -Wearing the Scapular and the Sacred Heart Badge -Intense sacramental life, frequent Confession and Commumion -Devotion to the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts -Practice of the 9 First Fridays and 5 First Saturadys, reparation for sin -Devotion to duty -Fidelity to the Holy Father, the Magisterium, and all the teachings of the Church (both faith and morals) -Upholding of all the moral teachings of the Church -Prayers for purity in the world -Prayers for the mitigation of suffering of innocent children in the world -Prayers for priests I am actively working on each of these with God's grace to sustain me! The book is written by Mark Miravalle published by The Riele Foundation. It is called The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood. God bless you, every day.

Prayer

Yesterday I attended our local Catholic mothers group for the first time in a year. For some reason lately I have been staying home a lot. It was so nice to see other mothers similar to myself, encouraging. Anyway, the subject of the meeting was prayer. Fitting subject for this season of Lent. Father Adam who gave the talk encouraged us to have a spiritual game plan (taken from "Handbook of Prayers" by James Socias, Midwest Theological Forum, pp 8-10). Which includes a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and always sections to really help and guide you. I suggest you look it up practicle guides can be very useful in our busy times of today. Father also said that it would be best to pray the Rosary as a family everyday. So I encourage you to pray the Rosary (even a decade) with your family everyday! We have been doing this for Lent this year and have found it to be very rewarding. Well I'd love to write more but I have a birthday girl awake from her nap. Blessings, I will remember all who read this blog in my Rosary tonight!
