Dear Brother Knights,
Our Church uses the month of May to highlight Mary the Mother of God and our spiritual mother. Oursociety sets aside the second Sunday of this month to celebrate Mother's Day. This month could be a specialtime for all of us to extol the value that motherhood is! Recent developments in our culture might allow usto question maternal instincts and the special bond between mother and child. How can the values bereinstalled? Have we lost something that we always thought was a part of the law of nature?If we start with a spiritual perspective, we might have a greater appreciation of the importance a mother'slove has in one's life. Mary stood by her Son, Jesus, as He made the ultimate sacrifice. While the torture,the suffering, the pain, the ridicule, and the unfair treatment took place, Mary was there. She lent her son allthe support she could. What must have gone through her mind as she stood helplessly and watched?Many mothers struggle when raising their children. It is no easy task to stand helplessly and watch aschildren make mistakes and do the wrong thing. However, the love of a dedicated mother allows her tosimply watch and wait. Her patient endurance and ability to know when to act, or speak, can beinstrumental in teaching her children valuable lessons.Consequently, we should take time from our schedules this month to pay special attention to our mothers,our wives, who are mothers, and the Blessed Mother. When is the last time that you thanked your mother?Doesn't she deserve a nice gesture this month?
