Quote by Rosebud Ben-Oni

“Bury me standing, bury me Three times. No one really drops dead from seeing Your gaunt, flitting shape in the mirror. Not mirror but grace. Forgive me for covering My eyes, for cowering under the blanket, for swatting At you when I passed a flower garden, When I shut my windows & chased you From park benches & fruit trees. I didn’t know There are people I’m not willing to ever let go, & I won’t. I haven’t.”

“Our Lord Jesus Christ willed to be born into a home. He could have chosen another means than that of coming to earth to save us. That is the way He chose. He willed to have a mother and He willed that mother to have a spouse, St. Joseph. He willed to be born into that home. He willed to live in that home for thirty years out of the thirty-three which He spent here below. What could be the meaning of our Lord's staying such a long time in a family? It is not because He needed it. He is the one who gave all of the qualities to the home of Mary and Joseph. He was God; He had nothing to receive from them. But He willed to remain in that home precisely in order to show the importance of the family, because it is from the family that children are born and that is where they prepare for the mission which they are going to have to carry out in the world; just as Jesus willed to prepare Himself for His mission in the midst of His family. What a great lesson!”

“The state and society generally construe single parenthood as an outcome of the breakdown of the traditional heterosexual family; however, what is overlooked in this construction is that diverse situations exist where women as single mothers are encountering different challenges. Also, what is negated is the fact that in modern society, the family structure is altering. In this fast-changing scenario, single motherhood is taking on multiple forms, whereas the laws and policies have failed to keep pace with the shift in the forms of motherhood.”
