Description of a saintly wife

  • I am a former Novus Ordo catholic. As a wife and mother, I really want to know and learn to be a saintly traditional catholic wife and mother. The more I learn about tradition, the more I question what type of religion I belonged to in the past. It seems to me that the connection between the old and the new is lost. What is the definition of a devout catholic woman in the eyes of God? What are my rights and my duties? Any thoughts? And what books do you recommend? 
    Thanks.

    I highly recommend the book "The Mirror of True Womanhood".  It was written in the 1883 by an Irish Catholic Priest.

    Here is a link for a free pdf read of it.

  • Reading the lives of the saints may be helpful. There is a book called Married Saints and Blesseds Through the Centuries by Ferdinand Holbock with 100-200 little stories.
    "Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect."
    "Seek first the kingdom of Heaven..."
    "Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment"

  • From God’s own mouth!
    Proverbs 31:10-31
    Commit to memory!

    That’s what the entire middle school (US grades 6-8) did back in 1999 or 2000 after impure graffiti appeared first in the boys’ bathroom, and sadly, a bit in the girls’ bathroom, as well.

  • The prayer book, "Mother Love" but only editions printed before 1963.  This is the Archconfraternity of Christian Mothers manual.
