The Liturgy of Motherhood: Moments of Grace is a unique invitation
to mothers and parents to pause and reflect on the rhythms, cycles,
symbols, and rituals that define who they are, both as caregivers
and members of a larger community. Using the liturgical year as her
framework, Kathleen Finley explores the spirituality of many kinds
of mothers and the ways that various aspects of the Christian
tradition-from the Advent wreath to the Beatitudes, the Paschal
mystery of Christ's death and Resurrection to the daily celebration
of the Sacraments-shed their light on the daily and unique holiness
of motherhood. Both the actions of motherhood and the rituals of
the liturgy reaffirm in our lives the communion, connection, and
timeless presence in any relationship of love. In each chapter,
Finley connects the themes and practices of the season to
particular aspects of a mother's spirituality, a spirituality that
is communal, incarnational, nurturing, patient, among other
qualities. She offers to her readers the voices of real women
recounting their own experiences of motherhood alongside classic
and contemporary Christian models. Including passages from
Scripture, questions for reflection, and suggestions for further
resources, The Liturgy of Motherhood provides a way for mothers-and
for all of us-to further develop the daily richness of our
relationships as a 'domestic church' within the Christian
tradition.
