On June 10, 2004, Mary (an unknown saint) Spoke to mothers, but specifically single mothers. She said, “We must speak today to all mothers who are alone in the parenting of their children. Dear mother, you are supposed to have help, it is true. It is very difficult to be alone in a job that requires two people. Do not be afraid, though, because in this situation Heaven steps in with great power. You must tell yourself to be brave. You will never be alone in any problem that involves your parenting. God is the Father of your children and He has placed them in your care. He will see that you have everything you need to shepherd your children through their childhoods. You must communicate with Him constantly about your fears, your concerns over their development and of course, providing for their material needs. You should also confide in Mary, the Blessed Mother.”
