Answers given by 2nd grade school children to
the following questions:
Why did God make mothers?
She’s the only one who knows where the scotch
tape is.
Mostly to clean the house.
To help us out of there when we were getting
born.
How did God make mothers?
He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
God made my mom just the same like he made me. He just
used bigger parts.
What ingredients are mothers made of?
God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything
nice in the world and one dab of mean.
They had to get their start from men’s bones. Then they mostly
use string, I think.
We’re related.
God knew she likes me a lot more than other people’s mom like
me.
What kind of a little girl was your mom?
My mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.
I don’t know because I wasn’t there, but my guess would be
pretty bossy.
They say she used to be nice.
His last name
She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he
get drunk on beer?
Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs
and YES to chores?
Why did your mom marry your dad?
My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my mom
eats a lot.
She got too old to do anything else with him.
My grandma says that mom didn’t have her
thinking cap on.
Who’s the boss at your house?
Mom doesn’t want to be boss, but she had to
because dad’s such a goof ball.
Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees
the stuff under the bed.
I guess mom is, but only because she has a lot
more to do than dad.
What’s the difference between moms and dads?
Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work
at work.
Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
Dads are taller and stronger, but moms have all the real power
‘cause that’s who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at
your friends.
Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.
What does your mom do in her spare time?
Mothers don’t do spare time.
To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.
What would it take to make your mom perfect?
On the inside she’s already perfect. Outside, I think some kind
of plastic surgery.
Diet. You know, her hair. I’d diet, maybe blue.
If you could change one thing about your mom, what would
it be?
She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I’d
get rid of that.
I’d make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my
sister who did it, not me.
I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back
of her head.
WHY GOD MADE MOMS
“We must love them both, those
whose opinions we share and those
whose opinions we reject, for both
have labored in the search for truth,
and both have helped us in finding
it.”
― St. Thomas Aquinas

CONVERSION OF SAINT PAUL
SAINT OF THE DAY FOR JANUARY 25
THE STORY OF THE CONVERSION OF SAINT PAUL
Saint Paul’s entire life can be explained in terms of one
experience—his meeting with Jesus on the road to
Damascus. In an instant, he saw that all the zeal of his
dynamic personality was being wasted, like the strength of a
boxer swinging wildly. Perhaps he had never seen Jesus, who
was only a few years older. But he had acquired a zealot’s
hatred of all Jesus stood for, as he began to harass the
Church: “…entering house after house and dragging out men
and women, he handed them over for imprisonment” (Acts
8:3b). Now he himself was “entered,” possessed, all his
energy harnessed to one goal—being a slave of Christ in the
ministry of reconciliation, an instrument to help others
experience the one Savior.
One sentence determined his theology: “I am Jesus, whom
you are persecuting” (Acts 9:5b). Jesus was mysteriously
identified with people—the loving group of people Saul had
been running down like criminals. Jesus, he saw, was the
mysterious fulfillment of all he had been blindly pursuing.
From then on, his only work was to “present everyone perfect
in Christ. For this I labor and struggle, in accord with the
exercise of his power working within me” (Colossians 1:28b-
29). “For our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but
also in power and in the Holy Spirit and [with] much
conviction” (1 Thessalonians 1:5a).
Paul’s life became a tireless proclaiming and living out of the
message of the cross: Christians die baptismally to sin and
are buried with Christ; they are dead to all that is sinful and
unredeemed in the world. They are made into a new creation,
already sharing Christ’s victory and someday to rise from the
dead like him. Through this risen Christ the Father pours out
the Spirit on them, making them completely new.
So Paul’s great message to the world was: You are saved
entirely by God, not by anything you can do. Saving faith is
the gift of total, free, personal and loving commitment to
Christ, a commitment that then bears fruit in more “works”
than the Law could ever contemplate.
REFLECTION
Paul is undoubtedly hard to understand. His style often
reflects the rabbinical style of argument of his day, and often
his thought skips on mountaintops while we plod below. But
perhaps our problems are accentuated by the fact that so
many beautiful jewels have become part of the everyday coin
in our Christian language.

SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS
SAINT OF THE DAY FOR JANUARY 28
(1225–MARCH 7, 1274)
SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS’ STORY
By universal consent, Thomas Aquinas is the preeminent
spokesman of the Catholic tradition of reason and of divine
revelation. He is one of the great teachers of the medieval
Catholic Church, honored with the titles Doctor of the Church and
Angelic Doctor.
At five he was given to the Benedictine monastery at Monte
Cassino in his parents’ hopes that he would choose that way of
life and eventually became abbot. In 1239, he was sent to Naples
to complete his studies. It was here that he was first attracted to
Aristotle’s philosophy.
By 1243, Thomas abandoned his family’s plans for him and
joined the Dominicans, much to his mother’s dismay. On her
order, Thomas was captured by his brother and kept at home for
over a year.
Once free, he went to Paris and then to Cologne, where he
finished his studies with Albert the Great. He held two
professorships at Paris, lived at the court of Pope Urban IV,
directed the Dominican schools at Rome and Viterbo, combated
adversaries of the mendicants, as well as the Averroists, and
argued with some Franciscans about Aristotelianism.
His greatest contribution to the Catholic Church is his writings.
The unity, harmony, and continuity of faith and reason, of
revealed and natural human knowledge, pervades his writings.
One might expect Thomas, as a man of the gospel, to be an
ardent defender of revealed truth. But he was broad enough,
deep enough, to see the whole natural order as coming from God
the Creator, and to see reason as a divine gift to be highly
cherished.
The Summa Theologiae, his last and, unfortunately, uncompleted
work, deals with the whole of Catholic theology. He stopped work
on it after celebrating Mass on December 6, 1273. When asked
why he stopped writing, he replied, “I cannot go on…. All that I
have written seems to me like so much straw compared to what I
have seen and what has been revealed to me.” He died March 7,
1274.
REFLECTION
We can look to Thomas Aquinas as a towering example of
Catholicism in the sense of broadness, universality, and
inclusiveness. We should be determined anew to exercise the
divine gift of reason in us, our power to know, learn, and
understand. At the same time we should thank God for the gift of
his revelation, especially in Jesus Christ.

SAINTS TIMOTHY AND TITUS
Saint of the Day for January 26�
(D. C. 95)
SAINTS TIMOTHY AND TITUS’ STORY
What we know from the New Testament of Timothy’s life
makes it sound like that of a modern harried bishop. He had
the honor of being a fellow apostle with Paul, both sharing the
privilege of preaching the gospel and suffering for it.
Timothy had a Greek father and a Jewish mother named
Eunice. Being the product of a “mixed” marriage, he was
considered illegitimate by the Jews. It was his grandmother,
Lois, who first became Christian. Timothy was a convert of
Paul around the year 47 and later joined him in his apostolic
work. He was with Paul at the founding of the Church in
Corinth. During the 15 years he worked with Paul, he became
one of his most faithful and trusted friends. He was sent on
difficult missions by Paul—often in the face of great
disturbance in local churches which Paul had founded.
Timothy was with Paul in Rome during the latter’s house
arrest. At some period Timothy himself was in prison
(Hebrews 13:23). Paul installed him as his representative at
the Church of Ephesus.
Timothy was comparatively young for the work he was doing.
Several references seem to indicate that he was timid. And
one of Paul’s most frequently quoted lines was addressed to
him: “Stop drinking only water, but have a little wine for the
sake of your stomach and your frequent illnesses” (1 Timothy
5:23).
Titus has the distinction of being a close friend and disciple of
Paul as well as a fellow missionary. He was Greek, apparently
from Antioch. Even though Titus was a Gentile, Paul would
not let him be forced to undergo circumcision at Jerusalem.
Titus is seen as a peacemaker, administrator, great friend.
Paul’s second letter to Corinth affords an insight into the depth
of his friendship with Titus, and the great fellowship they had
in preaching the gospel.
When Paul was having trouble with the community at Corinth,
Titus was the bearer of Paul’s severe letter and was
successful in smoothing things out. Paul writes he was
strengthened not only by the arrival of Titus but also “by the
encouragement with which he was encouraged in regard to
you, as he told us of your yearning, your lament, your zeal for
me, so that I rejoiced even more…. And his heart goes out to
you all the more, as he remembers the obedience of all of
you, when you received him with fear and trembling” (2
Corinthians 7:7a, 15).
The Letter to Titus addresses him as the administrator of the
Christian community on the island of Crete, charged with
organizing it, correcting abuses, and appointing presbyter-
AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen
SACRAMENT OF PENANCE
“In case of physical or moral impossibility in which a person
cannot personally go to confession to a priest, according to
the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Code of
Canon Law, a person is to make an Act of Contrition with a
sincere desire to go to confession as soon as it is
possible” (CCC 1484; CIC 960).
bishops.
REFLECTION
In Titus we get another glimpse of life in the early Church:
great zeal in the apostolate, great communion in Christ, great
friendship. Yet always there is the problem of human nature
and the unglamorous details of daily life: the need for charity
and patience in “quarrels with others, fears within myself,” as
Paul says. Through it all, the love of Christ sustained them. At
the end of the Letter to Titus, Paul says that when the
temporary substitute comes, “hurry to me.”
