Lord, help us mothers, by your grace, to be kept serene and unimpassioned that we may draw our children to Christ.
"We must bring our own feelings and our own actions under a system of rigid discipline, or it will be in vain for us to hope to curb the passions and restrain the conduct of those who are looking to us for instruction and example....If her own mind is thus kept serene and unimpassioned, she will instruct by example as well as precept. And the superiority of her own conduct will command the respect and the admiration of her children. And until this is done, it will be impossible for a mother to enforce the rules of discipline, simple and obvious as those rules are." (from The Mother at Home by John SC Abbott)
Lord, help us mothers, by your grace, to be kept serene and unimpassioned that we may draw our children to Christ.
