@amanda_arrows: I started to feel sorry for myself… sitting outside of Mass again with my special-needs son. But then I remembered why we were there- the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Mary never worshiped from a distance. She worshiped through motherhood through interruptions, detours, and moments the world never saw as holy. And suddenly… this didn’t feel like “missing Mass.” It felt like bringing my son right into the heart of it. #catholic #catholictiktok

I mean this with tons of love. Him and you deserve to be there as much as anyone else and if you’re sitting out there to avoid “bothering” others then your parish is failing you. If you’re sitting out there because it’s better for your child that is different. You’re doing a great job mama 💖

“Mary raised a child the world didn’t understand either.” WOW. That’s such a refreshing perspective 🥹❤️‍🔥

I listened to a priest talk about this- He said that coming to Mass is a sacrifice to God. But especially for mothers of young children- that when we are unable to participate in the Mass, our sacrifice to God is greater. 💙 Jesus sees you. Mary sees you. All of us other moms with kids who need some time outside of Mass see you too. 💙

Motherhood is a sacrifice and service to God. I think it’s easy for us to forget that because it’s just such a normal part of every day life.

I like this thought, and your thoughtfulness of others during worship. Please know that hearing children in mass warms my heart. Don’t worry about your littles and the noises they make, they are precious in His sight.

This mother of 30+ year old boys left Mass mad 50% of the time. They would cry or fight or just misbehave. Sometimes I wondered why I even went when I was mad at them for their behavior (real talk from real mom). But you know what? It paid off. Both of my sons are amazing Christians. Keep going momma.

Wait your church doesn’t have a separate room for moms with little kids/babies? The church I go to invested money to build a room (and bathrooms) for parents with kids. It provides comfortable chairs and space so they can move around while listening and seeing the service via a window wall.

my favorite thing is remembering Jesus went to the temple for days and scared his parents, and realizing he was a runner😭😂

Join a church that embraces families and provides family services, activities, child care during services, etc. Mass is not structured for small children and stresses parents.

1 Timothy 2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. God sees you and loves what you are doing! Us being mothers, one of His most brilliant ideas 🥰
