Mater Admirabilis - an image of Mary as a young girl in a pink dress, caught in a reflective moment. Painted by a young sister in 1844, and displayed in Society of the Sacred Heart communities, and especially schools throughout the world.

Sending our love & gratitude for their love to all our mothers, whether on earth or in heaven, and to grandmothers, step-mothers, foster-mothers & all who have mothered & nurtured us in so many ways.

May Mary, Mater Admirabilis, pray for & bless you all!
