Happy Mother's Day!
Sunday, May 8
The Feminine Trifecta...
This year, Mother's Day was celebrated on May 8th which also happens to be the feast of Saint Emilia. Interestingly enough, today is also Myrrh-Bearing Women Sunday! What a wonderful day to remember the women who cared for Christ in life and death while His disciples hid in fear, Saint Emilia an exemplary model of motherhood (who bore nine children... four of whom became great saints!) and our mothers, grandmothers, and godmothers who gave us life and love!

Many years!! and happy Mother's day...
If I ever have another girl, I think I would name her for St. Emmelia. Is she your saint? If yes, many blessed years!
Happy Name Day and Happy Mother's Day!
Many Years!
Happy Mother's Day to you! Our sermon was about 5 mothers in the geneology of Christ: Eve, Sarah, Rebecca, Ruth, and Mary. It was very good.
