May is the month in which we celebrate life and unconditional love.
When we think of a mother, we think of refuge, nourishment, the hand that heals wounds, and the embrace that drives away fear.
That perfect love lives in the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church and our mother, who never abandons her children at the foot of the cross.
Today, that same love is made present through thousands of religious sisters and missionaries who, in the most hostile and forgotten corners of the world, become mothers to those who have lost everything.
They renounce a family of their own to embrace the children the world has left behind: the displaced, the sick, and those who suffer in silence.
But to continue caring for, protecting, and sustaining lives… they need you.
