Description
Few women in history have been more honored than Mary, the mother of Jesus. She is an icon of unconditional love, of creation, and strength. But simply, she was a mother. She was poor, she had a family, and she did the very best she could within the context of her day. As mothers, we know that her day-to-day was a struggle, filled with work, immense joy, and exhaustion. If we keep Mary in our hearts and on our minds, she will guide the way through our messy, sticky, muddy lives and help us move toward the radiant light. 20% of the proceeds from this bracelet go to Women for Women International.
