52 Companions for Your Amazing Vocation of Motherhood
Being a mom is a journey filled with great joys but also marked by great challenges. Blessedly, it is never a path we walk alone. We travel in the companionship of family, friends, our communities, and a Church that lovingly supports us through time-honored traditions, powerful teachings, and life-sustaining sacraments.
And yet at times we need extra support and encouragement. For those moments when we think we simply can't measure up or when the path expected of us feels too ominous, the Church has provided us with a set companions—the Communion of Saints who have gone before us along he path to life's greatest goal. This book explores the lives and lessons of fifty-two such saintly companions.

A Note from the Author
In this book, I hope to point you as a Catholic mom to saintly companions for your own life who will help you to answer that call and to reply to those needs. In my first book, The Handbook for Catholic Moms, I shared the importance of nurturing ourselves as moms in four components of our lives: heart, mind, body, and soul. In this resource, I share with you the saintly friends who have supported me emotionally in my relationships, in my intellectual pursuits, in the physical care of my body, and most importantly in my spiritual development.
As you read this book, I invite you to walk hand in hand with these women and men, emulating the lessons they have laid out for us. I encourage you to turn to them in earnest prayer in those moments
when you need intercession. With a weekly focus, we journey alongside these men and women, considering
our own stories as we come to better know theirs.
—Lisa M. Hendey
"Lisa M. Hendey unrolls a rich tapestry of holy saints who can help all women today. I highly recommend this book to all mothers, Catholic or not, and I even think most dads would love it, too—I definitely did."
Brandon Vogt, Content director at Bishop Robert Barron’s Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, Author of Why I Am Catholic (and You Should Be Too)
