In the past, I shared seven of my favorite saints for mothers, holy women who I look up to while I am on this path of motherhood. I think it is only fitting that I share 7 wonderful and holy men for the father’s in our lives to look up to and to strive towards.

I read a long post the other day written by a woman, shared and liked by women, all about how they view their bodies. It really struck me.

FEATURED

Confession is probably one of the first things people argue about when it comes to speaking out against the Catholic faith.
