Catherine McNiel, author of Long Days of Small Things: Motherhood as a Spiritual Discipline, invites us to consider that while moms may feel like they are struggling to practice their faith–unable to sit through church uninterrupted or have a “quiet time” with God– they are actually joining an ancient line of women living out a vibrant, God-ordained experience of mothering and self-giving love. Motherhood is spiritual! Ordinary acts of daily love and service can transform our souls.
