A new book of prayer, dedicated to mothers and influenced by the life of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, is now available is bookstores.
"Catholic Prayer Book for Mothers" by Donna Cooper O’Boyle features traditional and original prayers, includes quotes from Pope John Paul II and Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, and offers moms advice and encouragement as it discusses the gifts, sacrifices and sorrows of motherhood, reports the New Times.
"How does a mother inundated with family really have time for prayer? She really needs to transform her life into a prayer," said the mother of five and longtime friend of Mother Teresa.
"Our society today devalues the role of the mother because we judge value by the size of the paycheck," she told the newspaper.
