1. Spiritual Motherhood is a womanly calling to serve the Church, in cooperation with the structured order of Bishops, Priests and Deacons, to carry out the great commission given to the apostles prior to Jesus’ Ascension. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all I have commanded you.” Mt. 28:18-19

2. The inspiration and role model for spiritual motherhood today is the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, in her actions beginning with her presence in the Upper Room at Pentecost up until the present moment in time.

3. In consecration to Jesus through Mary, spiritual motherhood is exercised through the power of the Holy Spirit present and active in all baptized Christians.

4. Spiritual Motherhood is a ministry of influence through relationship with people seeking God or seeking encouragement in their walk and challenges as disciples of Jesus.

5. The response to the call to Spiritual Motherhood is one of a strong life of prayer, faithfulness to Church teaching and the guidance of the Holy Spirit and willingness to reach out to those whom Divine Providence brings into one’s path.
