Sort of on the serious side, but Happy Mothers' Day to all mothers out there.

Your comment&post is >right on point actually.
I do believe, matrimony (= marriage) has its root word from the Latin = mater = mother.

I heard that on the Rush Limbo show. He was making a relevant political point that marriage has been universally recognize as between a man & a women> with its purpose for children & a family. = Marriage = Motherhood + a husband & family.

I also believe there are some folks reading the Catholic threads that get an actual paycheck from the >Mater that has Latin as its official language. I’m sure those folks could explain the Latin & also the correct teaching on marriage.

The Sunday Mass I went to (on this Mother’s Day) was small enough that the Priest asked all the Mother’s up to the front of the Church for a special blessing.
The Priest ended the blessing by sprinkling Holy Water on all the gals. The gals >liked it a LOT. Everyone liked it; the Church had the same ‘feeling’ as when babies are Baptized.

None of us would be here if we didn’t have Mothers. Thank You, Mom!

This triangle of truisms, of father, mother and child, cannot be destroyed; it can only destroy those civilizations which disregard it.

Now I don't care who you are...That is some powerful writin' right there.
