The Grace of Maternity

You might also be wondering why when a woman becomes a mother even at a young age there is a transformation on her person. She becomes more mature and she thinks less if herself.  I remember watching a video documentation of one of the get-togethers of Saint Josemaria Escriva, a newly wed man ask him " Father what will I do because I realize that my wife is still too immature because she still thinks of her new shoes and new bags?". The  old priest said " Don't worry my son when the baby comes out she will never think of that anymore!" Indeed being a mother transforms a person.

When a woman received that maternal grace she becomes mature and she becomes selfless. That little helpless baby is enough to make a girl into a full woman. A mother should never think of herself she only thinks of the good of her husband and children. That maternal grace makes her heart into a magnanimous one.  With that maternal grace she becomes more understanding and patient. That maternal grace makes a lady into a mother.
