Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ave Maria, Vol. 21: A Catholic Family Magazine, Devoted to the Honor of the Blessed Virgin; January 3, 1885
Heep;offspring, suffering every hardship for His sake, and even sharing in His ignominy as He hangs on a gibbet. Let Christian moth ers learn from her to love their children, and not seek to avoid the cares of motherhood, or throw their burden of duty on strangers. Let them recognize that theirs is a most sacred obligation: to watch over the budding mind of the child, to see that in its soul no seeds of evil shall fall, and no weed of vice spring up through their carelessness. For no one so represents the authority and the love of God for His creature as a mother, to whom God has given that love of her child in order that she may preserve it for Himself. No Rachel mourns her lost ones as the Heart of God weeps over the child that has strayed away; and of a mother will He de mand a strict account. (conclusion next week.)
