Video: Mothers are the strongest antidote to the spread of selfish individualism

Aleteia - published on 01/08/15

Pope Francis' praise of motherhood

Mothers are the strongest antidote to the spread of selfish individualism.

A society without mothers would be an inhumane society, for mothers always – even in the worst moments – know how to bear witness to tenderness, devotion, and moral strength.

Pope Francis, General Audience  January 7, 2015
