Mother Teresa and the Heart of Motherhood

Over at Embracing Motherhood Donna reminds us that tomorrow is the Feast Day of Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

In reading Donna's book The Heart of Motherhood, I am struck by the deep influence Mother Teresa had on Donna in her vocation as a mother.

Donna actually knew a saint personally and learned so much from her.

Also, if you haven't put Donna's book on your To Read list, you are really doing yourself a disservice. Every day I read a few passages or a few paragraphs right before Mass. It gives me the inspiration I need, along with the Eucharist of course, to face another day as a mother, especially when the day is challenging.

The little book is is filled with practical spiritual advice for busy moms, especially for those of young children. It has prayers to help lift you up and many good quotes by saints to be like our dear John Paul II, and of course Mother Teresa.

Thank you again Donna for writing this book!
