“Discovering vocation does not mean scrambling toward
some prize just beyond my reach but accepting the treasure of
true self I already possess. Vocation does not come from a
voice out there calling me to be something I am not. It comes
from a voice in here calling me to be the person I was born to
be, to fulfill the original selfhood given me at birth by
God.”
― Thomas Merton |

The Kitchen Madonna
Patroness of The
Catholic View for Women
Mary was not only Jesus' Mother, but also a housewife.
Her utensils are earthly and heavenly symbols. The key
represents the safety in the house and also the way
into heaven. The kettle symbolizes nourishment for
body and soul. The broom represents cleanliness in the
home and in thoughts and deeds.
