Containing the best of 6 editions and 150 years, the Mother Love prayer book and manual has been an essential part of the spirituality of the Christian mothers for almost 150 years. Now a new edition, lovingly compiled from the texts of 6 editions dating back to 1880, is available to edify and inspire today’s Christian mothers.

Written in the late 1800s by a priest of the Capuchin order, this "manual for Christian mothers" contains:

  • Morning and Evening Prayers for Mothers
  • Devotions for the Holy Rosary
  • Points of Doctrine a Christian Mother Should Teach to Her Children
  • Prayers at Mass
  • The "Ten Commandments" of Christian Education
  • Devotions for Confession, and Communion
  • Devotions for the Poor Souls, and for the Way of the Cross
  • Prayers for the Various Special Necessities of a Christian Mother
  • Prayers to Some of the Special Patrons of Christian Mothers
  • Indulgenced Prayers
  • A short book of instructions for Christian Mothers on the Christian Training of Children
  • And so much more!

"For nearly 150 years, Mother Love, has served as an invaluable spiritual resource for generations of Christian Mothers. I am indebted to my predecessors for their contributions to the many previous editions of this beautiful devotional book. We have striven to provide for you, dear reader, the best of those previous volumes. In assembling the current edition, I asked members of the Archconfraternity who have been very familiar with the many editions we have published in English and German since 1880 to draw from them the prayers and readings they found most helpful and to suggest additions as well.  We are proud to present to you this current edition of Mother Love, confident that you will find in these pages the formational and spiritual inspiration so needed for the support of your vocation and your family.  May Christ our King, true Savior and Ruler of the world, bless and consecrate your hearts and homes!  Mother of Sorrows, Queen of Peace, pray for us!" -  Rev. Fr. Joseph Tuscan, OFM Cap. Director General, Archconfraternity of Christian Mothers

Steven F. ★★★★★

The revised edition feels noticeably sturdier than the older printing I'd been using, and the type is easier to read during morning prayers. Having the best of all six earlier editions gathered into one volume means I'm not flipping between booklets anymore.

Eli N. ★★★★★

My grandmother's copy was falling apart, so I picked up this revised edition and the print is much clearer than the old one. Having 150 years of prayers gathered into one book makes it easy to find something for whatever the day brings.

Isabella ★★★★★

I bought this for my mom after her old copy fell apart, and she's been reading the prayers every morning since. The revised layout is much easier on the eyes than her worn 1970s edition, and the binding feels like it'll actually last this time.
