Being…

Remembering our sacred duty as mothers, and making sure that we are modeling the virtues and habits we are teaching our children to develop, requires daily vigilance.  We will address aspects of “Being” in the following categories:

Personal Growth including posts about:

  • Prayer and Meditation
  • Daily Reflection
  • Finding Direction

Study of the Guidance

Resources including posts about:

  • Books
  • Music
  • Websites
  • Other items mothers may find helpful for their own spiritual nourishment

Furthermore feel free to add names to our mother’s prayer list – visit the Prayer Corner for details.

Attention to our own spiritual health including prayer, reflection on the Writings, and setting a purposeful direction for our role as mothers is vital to maintaining a positive attitude, focus, and resolve.

Furthermore, study of the current guidance of the Universal House of Justice is essential to maintain a vision of our role in the Plans of the Cause.

Find inspiration, helpful resources, and discover ways other mothers are addressing these spiritual needs in the pages under “Being.”

O handmaids of the Merciful! Render ye thanks unto the Ancient Beauty that ye have been raised up and gathered together in this mightiest of centuries, this most illumined of ages. As befitting thanks for such a bounty, stand ye staunch and strong in the Covenant and, following the precepts of God and the holy Law, suckle your children from their infancy with the milk of a universal education, and rear them so that from their earliest days, within their inmost heart, their very nature, a way of life will be firmly established that will conform to the divine Teachings in all things.

For mothers are the first educators, the first mentors; and truly it is the mothers who determine the happiness, the future greatness, the courteous ways and learning and judgement, the understanding and the faith of their little ones.

-Abdu’l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha, p. 125
