Mothers’ Group

What really draws me to Mothers’ group is the connection I feel to the other mothers even when I don’t them personally. I think I feel it acutely because as a stay home mum, my life really revolves around my family so much so that it sometimes consumes my life and attending Mothers’ group gives me the guidance and perspective I need. I always feel I take back so much from each session. Sisters Maria Jose and Leticia are ever encouraging and enlightening as they break the word, often in the context of our roles as mothers and wives, making it very meaningful and relevant in our daily lives. It is also an opportunity for personal self-reflection which I honestly don’t do enough of and it has helped me know myself better and to discern God’s purpose in my life. The beautiful heartfelt sharings of fellow mothers about their personal struggles are edifying. I have grown so much learning from their struggles, at the same time, been inspired by their faith journeys. Attending sessions is truly food for my soul, each time an opportunity to understand myself better and grow closer to God.

I pray that God will continue bless our Verbum Dei missionaries so that they will continue to touch more lives and spread God’s love throughout the community and beyond.
