What do I like about it? Well there are several things that really spoke to my as a mother as well as something on this homeschooling journey.
This book is separated into 5 different parts.

Part 2 is chock-full of various kinds of traditional prayers: prayers for mothers, prayers for their children, prayers for your child's vocation, prayers for a happy delivery, prayers for the new born, prayers for the conversion of a child, prayers for sick infants/a sick husband/sick grown child/sick relative, and maybe the most important section, prayers for the dying.

My Favorite Part of this Book: The Ten Commandments of Christian Education. This topic being so near and dear to my heart as a homeschooling mom! |
Part 3 provides prayers to various saints. Part 4 offers a plethora of information regarding indulgences, and prayers one can say to receive plenary or partial indulgences. Word of caution: I am not an expert in this area therefore I would recommend looking up the current list of indulgences to cross reference and determine which are still current. But the prayers themselves are still so beautiful and worth praying!
Part 5 discusses the information relevant to the Confraternity of Christian Mothers. I am not sure if this group is even in tact currently but still reading through the recommendations and advice gave me some new thoughts on how I can help other mothers. The very LAST chapter in this book is called Little Book Of Instructions, and will probably be the chapter you LOVE or HATE the most. I read it, keeping in mind these are instructions written for mothers back in 1926 and found it both historically fascinating and, if I'm being perfectly honest, the feminist reel in my head was a bit irritated by some of the comments. Why would I read it? How could it be relevant? Well, for me, I found there were some tips that I could use and some that would not fit in the parenting style of my family. My rule of thumb: take what works and leave the rest.
And so there you have it! A quick look into my new favorite prayer book, Mother Love. It's a must have book in my list of prayer books and one I'll be carrying around with me to adoration. The treasure trove of prayers alone make it priceless to me. You can purchase it at the link shared.
