Saints Martha and Mary: Patron Saints for Not Giving Up on Your Kids

The saints have so much to show us about living in this crazy, messy community we call a family. In honor of their feast day, July 29th, Holly Gustafson shares how Saints Martha and Mary taught her about parenting.

5:01 A Quiet Moment

Fostering quiet moments enables us to hear what the Lord wishes to say to us (cf. 1 Kings 19:9-13 on Elijah’s encounter with the Lord). He always wants to remind us that he loves us, and that elicits a response of love for him on our part, an invitation to growth and spiritual maturity.

8:18 Forgiveness

Forgiveness can be difficult. In this article for Gratia Vobis Ministries, Nicole Buchholz, a Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi, shares how she is helped by thinking of others whose example of forgiveness is admirable.
