The gift of being a Mother is a divine gift. Commemorative dates such as Mother's Day are rich opportunities for the Church to bless the family gathered for this important moment.

"Can a woman forget her son who is still breastfeeding, so that she will not be sorry for the child of her womb?" Even if she forgot about him, I, however, will not forget you. "Isaiah 49.15

The Creator God gave women the gift of the generation of life so that he could feel his love for someone he felt arise within him. There is no better comparison for the love of God than the love of a mother.

The SHADAY is one of the names of God that means All Powerful, but its original meaning refers to the care of a mother with her son where all the support and care of the child is in his mother as well as everything we need comes from God.

What is the best example of a mother?

We are going to reflect on two things that God resembled the mother and two things that the mothers need to be inspired by God:

1- God is compared to mothers: "Can a woman forget about the child that still sucks, to stop feeling sorry for the child of her guts?"

Two things that God resembled mothers are:

Care: a mother does not forget her children, but they forget their mistakes. The mother stops eating, sleeping and taking care of herself to take care of her child. As much as time passes, the mother never forgets the first time she took the child in her arms and even though the mother is still great, she still thinks that the son depends on her.

Grace: The mother looks at the baby to the face for the first time and is in the grace of smiles and feels pleasure, joy in the contemplation of his son. Over time, however much the child changes and abhors his mother, this grace continues through the willingness to forgive.

God cares for us with motherly love and his grace sustains us!

2-Mothers should resemble God: "Even if this were to forget him, that, however, do not forget"

Two things that mothers need to be inspired by God:

Love: God is pure love (I John 4,8). The essence of God consists in loving. That is why mothers dedicate themselves entirely to children motivated by this feeling of unconditional love.

Justice: God loves, but he knows how to correct error (Exodus 34.7) and teach what is right. Love the sinner and reject sin. Thus the mother needs to maintain her affection for the child and be firm when it comes to what is right.

Mothers need to balance love and justice!

God is the best example for mothers!

Motherhood has been devalued by virtue of pleasures, vanity and the very difficulty of caring for and maintaining children in a world increasingly dominated by commerce. That is why the best example for mothers to follow is the same God, creator of the life that has placed in them this gift of generating and loving.

God helps you to be a mother!
