Mother's Day cards

We picked out cards today from Hallmark.

So often we dismiss 'Hallmark' holidays as fabrications of the secular culture meant to stimulate sales. In the case of Administrative Professionals Day, I'd have to agree.

But I don't think it's by accident that the secular event of Mother's Day falls within the lovely month of May, a month dedicated to Our Lady.

How pleased she must be to see so many people honoring their mothers in the month that honors her!

Having this day out there in the secular realm, even with all its commercialism, allows moments like this one shared by Julie at Happy Catholic, who got it from Anchoress.

Show your Mom some love this weekend, and show some love to Mary.
