Lenten Pastoral 2026: Motherhood In The Society And In The Church

Motherhood in the Society and in the Church: A Lent of Tenderness

In this 2026 Lenten Pastoral, Bishop Augustine Ukwuoma reflects on the gift, dignity, and mission of motherhood in the family, society, and the Church. Drawing from Scripture, Christian tradition, and lived experience, the letter praises mothers as caregivers, educators, guardians of family life, and witnesses of tenderness, faith, and Christian love.
