Grace in the Hidden Life:
A Week of Discernment for the Heart of a Mamá
Walk prayerfully through a week of surrender and trust. Let this be your time to slow down, breathe, and rediscover that your motherhood — unseen and ordinary — is sacred ground.
“Discernment is not about choosing what is easy, but what is holy.”
There comes a moment in every mother’s heart when she pauses — torn between the world’s noise and the whisper of grace that says, “Come home.”
This seven-day Catholic devotional gently guides mothers to listen for God’s voice, trust His providence, and find peace in the quiet rhythm of motherhood.

Whether you are discerning to stay home, balancing work and family, or simply longing for quiet renewal, this devotional will help you rest in God’s will and rediscover beauty in your hidden life.
-
What matters most is coming to this devotional with an open heart and the willingness to keep going, no matter how long it takes you to reach the end.
I highly recommend getting a journal specifically for this devotional — something you can return to years later to see how the Lord has worked in your heart. It doesn’t have to be fancy; even a simple notepad will do.
If you’re a busy mama, don’t put pressure on yourself. Take it slow and go at your own pace.
