I had lunch today with a new friend, Monica. What a woman! Well, I got to share with her my vision of the Eucharistic charism of motherhood. All I had to say was, "This is my body, broken for you." She said, "Oh yes! I get it!"
I said, "I'm broken every day, and it is an offering for someone else! My body gets broken in pregnancy and childbirth. I shed blood for someone else. My life plans get broken. For me, my career got broken. Most days, my comfort gets broken. Many things get broken, when you are a mom. My vocation is to participate in Christ offering his body, blood, soul, and life, for someone else."
