Being like Mary

In today's world of parenting gurus and guaranteed advice on how to be the perfect parent, Catholic journalist Marge Fenelon takes on the challenging task of presenting the Virgin Mary to the modern mother as a relatable role model for motherhood.

The book Mimicking Mary: Ten Marian virtues for the modern mom looks at the life of the Mother of God through a fresh lens. Drawing on ten moments in Mary's life, including her betrothal to Joseph, the Annunciation, the Nativity, and the Crucifixion, you will discover that looking up to the Virgin Mary is still the best thing you can do as a Catholic mother in the 21st century.

In this book, Marge Fenelon guides you through everyday maternal struggles such as impatience, frustration, fear, pain, and grief – all of which Jesus' mother also experienced during her life on Earth. Against the backdrop of these challenges, you will discover her virtues of courage, patience, joy, trust, and faith, which she can help you adopt as well. All you need is the willingness to let yourself be transformed by Mary's extraordinary example.
