Your Vocation of Love is a book by the mother of four young children (so far), who has written this little manual to encourage mothers of young children in their sublime vocation of motherhood and to assist them in this glorious role with scores of practical tips on what to do in the challenging situations that automatically arise in raising and educating a family. Here the author shares with her readers both the spiritual and the practical solutions she has to the normal problems and struggles women typically experience with motherhood. And she covers these in 34 short but insightful chapters that make a quick read for mothers on the go-who often have only a few minutes reading time to gain some quick but much-needed inspiration. Chapters include Authority, Cheerfulness, Openness to Children, Routine, Keeping Your Home Catholic, Humility, Patience, Self-Pity, Daily Prayer, Countering the Culture, Confidence, Teaching Your Children to Pray, Bad Days, Good Manners, Discipline, Teenagers, Phone Calls, and others.
Characteristic of Agnes Penny's book is the artful blending of the deeply spiritual motivation that a holy, Catholic mother should possess, with many practical suggestions that will make her job a whole lot easier, more enjoyable and more love-filled. Highly practical, truly Catholic and very uplifting, Your Vocation of Love is a great support for all Catholic mothers in their struggles with motherhood. It is also a real eye-opener for men, giving them a far deeper understanding of the unique and crucial role that women play in the lives of their children and their husbands in helping them on the road to Heaven.
