In anticipation of Mother’s Day, we feature two mothers. Magdalena Rodriguez and Alexis West. Magdalena shares her journey to faith when she felt her children were rebellious and out of her control; and Alexis shares how important faith was to her when she was a foster child and has since fostered several children, adopting two of them, before she and her husband had twins of their own. In addition, Bishop Mulvey reminds us that May is dedicated to our Blessed Mother. By looking at her life we are called to trust in God completely. Also, a column by Father Paul Hesse compares motherhood to a vocation, one in which is modeled perfectly by Mary.
