During this season of Advent, we reflect on our mother Mary, who was most definitely "unexpectedly expecting," and whose "yes" to bearing Jesus changed the course of history. This month's brochure is written by a mother who had faced an unplanned pregnancy and her recommendations about how to support others in this same situation. Support can be as simple as listening with nonjudgmental love. It is important to provide affirmation that both the expectant mother and her child's life are precious, and that something beautiful and good can come out of this situation. Concrete ways to assist include helping the mother to find a doctor, helping with meals and cleaning, and babysitting other children she may have. Finally, remember to pray for the expectant mother and her baby.
The actual brochure is available in both Spanish and English at the AMC and at the Hospitality Desk in the church narthex.
