Mothers of Faith and Vessels of God’s Purpose

Women of the Bible

This sermon is a tribute to the mothers of the Bible—women whose lives and choices have left a lasting impact both spiritually and personally. It reminds us of a simple but powerful truth: each of us has a mother. Whether through birth or through care, mothers shape our lives in ways that go deeper than we often realize.

But motherhood is more than a biological role—it’s a calling. One that demands sacrifice, patience, and above all, love. Some women may never have children of their own, yet they pour themselves into the lives of others as spiritual mothers, especially within the Church. They teach, nurture, guide, and uplift—planting seeds of faith that often grow quietly, but deeply.
