Maybe, it is approached with unfulfilled expectations, sorrow over past mistakes, but also joy in the present.
The could haves and should haves linger in our mind.
It is best said in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, "Perhaps he might have spent the rest of his life in weeping over this one fault; perhaps he might have made this one sin the subject of constant repentance; he might like Magdalen, like Augustine, have made the memory of this fault a motive for more fervent love."
We can let go of the could haves and should haves to embrace the future with faith, hope and love!
"This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
Happy Mother's Day!
