As we celebrate Mother’s Day 2021, we look at how mothers demonstrate the Divine traits of illumination, vivification, and nourishing their children. We see the All-pervading, All-powerful nature of God as inclusive of the feminine, motherly principle. We see God as both a Mother and a Father to us, without diminishing the goodness of God in either idea.  As we recognize God as a Divine Mother, we realize that so many women on each daily reflect the blessing and compassion of God in their lives. This compassion also is depicted in the Sacred Heart of Mary icons.
