Welcome to SMILE
"Spiritual Motherhood as a way of relating to others within our feminine vocation. In particular, it is a way of answering the call to nurture and nourish people's faith in God by drawing them deeper into the life of the Trinity. Isn't that what our Blessed Mother Mary would do if she were walking the earth today? Taking Mary as our model and conforming our own lives to the will of God, we can become her heart and hands to others we encounter."
"I wish to emphasize that SMILE is much more than another Marian devotional group of women. From what I experienced from listening to these women, SMILE fosters a “Christian femininity” that has been revealed in Sacred Scripture and throughout the history of Catholic Tradition from the lives of the women inspired by the Holy Spirit."
