At the heart of Christmas is a mother’s “yes.” Mary’s love and trust welcomed Christ into the world, revealing how deeply God honors motherhood.

Take a moment this week to thank God for a blessing in your family or community.

Today, as the Church celebrates the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, MaterCare International gives thanks for the protection of Our Lady over mothers, families, and all who serve them.

Just as Christ entered a world in need of peace, we are called to bring peace to every mother who waits and prays for a safe delivery.
