The
title of mother is the fruit of suffering; God
has willed it so. The title of
spiritual mother can be acquired only on Calvary
by the side of Mary, Mother of all men.
To
obtain the Grace of salvation for her children,
a mother must then accept to suffer and to
suffer alone with Jesus and Mary: blessed
sufferings indeed, since they beget children of
God and citizens of Heaven to the life of Grace.
The greater is her suffering and the more devoid
she is of all natural consolation, the more a
mother should rejoice in Divine Charity; for
that is the sign that the hour of victory is at
hand.
Happy
the mother who has the wisdom of the Cross, the
virtue of Jesus Crucified; all the sweetness and
power of it will be hers. Let her then practice
love without ceasing; let her earnestly pray for
it as the surest and sublimest Grace of
perfection!
