This is precisely what today’s feast calls each of us to do: to undergo an inward transformation, to be purified and enlightened, and to bring our lives into harmony with the holy will of God, who always desires what is good and blessed for us and for all mankind.

The Christian mothers will offer our Master their most precious mirth, which is the birth, raising and education of children in the fear of God.
