"This celebration of Pentecost is the birthday of the Church. Acts chapter two provides ripe details concerning the promise Jesus made to his disciples—the unfolding of the promises they had longed for. God poured the Holy Spirit directly into their hearts as they gathered in “one accord.” The long-awaited, miraculous transformation took place. The Holy Spirit dispelled fear and timidity, bringing about a boldness of faith, a genuine humility, and a clarity of mission for the birth of the Church." The power of the Holy Spirit it not just for a select few, but for all...How do you long for God to work in your midst? He longs to work in the very center of your being!

How many mamas need encouragement when it comes to "Surviving the Storms?" Megan Smillie shares a post with us today! . . . "He always comes through, of course. Why do I continue to doubt? Why do I, when encountering a situation that seems so utterly hopeless, give in to fear and frenzy? Time and again, my pleas are heard, differences are reconciled, and peace reigns. This doesn’t always happen overnight. Some storms linger, their effect leaving scars that must be healed. And so we gain wisdom and insight, and oftentimes, humility. We cannot control these storms, nor their outcome, but we are left with an altered landscape, bought with our tears and struggles, that makes us cling ever closer to Christ."

"Spending . . . time with faithful friends is one of the ways I have found to practice spiritually rich self-care and to nourish my soul. These mamas . . . breathe deep and labor through real sacrifice, real grit, real pain, real lack, and hard-pressed service. How glorious is it that there is true sustenance, true purpose, and resplendent beauty coming through each of their lives? I am witness and take watch as the Father upholds and brings beauty into their midst. Straight through the laboring pains of life, light prevails." . . #catholicmama #joyfulmotherhood #blessedmama #fruitfulmotherhood #catholicmotherhood #eucharisticmotherhood #opentolifemama #motherhoodasvocation #sacramentalmotherhood #motherhoodmission #blessedmotherhood #spiritualmotherhood #catholicmom #catholicmomstrong #purposefulmotherhood #sogoesmotherhood #motheringspirit #domesticchurch #gracefilledmom #grace #catholicfamily #motherhoodjourney #easter2019 #fullofgrace #marianmothers #blessed #mercy #mothering #catholic

Every single circumstance beyond my control is a beckoning to experience Christ. This means believing in the spirit of the Eucharist in all my moments. Christ calls me to take hold of the force of hope so that daily circumstances do not dictate my peace and steal my joy-strength. I believe for many things, but beyond what I believe for, I believe in someone. "Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, and therefore he waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; how blessed are all those who long for him” (Isaiah 30:18).

“I am the youngest of ten children from a large Catholic family. We have shared many things over the years. Here is the story behind this family pie: my late brother, Robert, was a very talented chef. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America in NYC, he became the executive chef in a high-end restaurant in Charleston. Later, he opened his own restaurant in Myrtle Beach. This pie was often on his dessert menu, and it’s delicious.” Susan Vega shares a recipe for our Savor Your Saturday edition!

MIHC Quote of the Week edition! “The hour is coming, in fact has come, when the vocation of woman is being achieved in its fullness–the hour in which woman acquires in the world an influence, an effect, and a power never hitherto achieved. That is why, at this moment when the human race is undergoing so deep a transformation, women impregnated with the spirit of the Gospel can do so much to aid mankind in not falling.” – Saint Pope Paul VI . . #catholicmama #joyfulmotherhood #blessedmama #fruitfulmotherhood #catholicmotherhood #eucharisticmotherhood #opentolifemama #motherhoodasvocation #sacramentalmotherhood #motherhoodmission #blessedmotherhood #spiritualmotherhood #catholicmom #catholicmomstrong #purposefulmotherhood #sogoesmotherhood #motheringspirit #domesticchurch #gracefilledmom #grace #catholicfamily #motherhoodjourney #pentecost #fullofgrace #marianmothers #blessed #mercy #mothering #catholic #catholicquotes

''Motherhood is not about having it together all the time and being perfect . . . I have the strongest ally I could ever want. I also have someone to help me take my faults and embrace them. This world is not meant to be the perfect one. We are meant for something that is perfect, though, and my vocation of motherhood is perfecting me more everyday so I can walk through the Golden Gates of Heaven someday. My prayer is when that day comes, God will say to me, “Well done good and faithful servant. Thank you for letting me help you.” Mary Shaad shares a post with us!
