This little manual is presented to help today's mothers in realizing and fulfilling the dignity of their state. It is hoped that these offerings will be instrumental in bringing mothers closer to the heart of Christ and will effectively join them in unity of prayer. Mothers' Manual by Fr. Coomes contains many prayers for motherhood and married life as well as counsels and helps for a wife and mother. By a loving providence of almighty God, all motherhood has been elevated to receive a new status through the motherhood of Mary. This relationship in grace of every motherhood with Mary's special motherhood assures all mothers that Mary has a particular regard for each of them. The prayer aids and directives of this little manual are presented to help today's mothers in realizing and fulfilling the dignity of their state. It is hoped that these offerings will be instrumental in bringing mothers closer to the heart of Christ and will effectively join them in unity of prayer with Mary, and so help them realize something of the beautiful image of the Mother of Christ in the motherhood with which they have been blessed.
