33. Bibles and Birkins: A Busy Mother's Guide to Lent, Practical tips for time-starved mothers and for beginners

Send us a text

What could a multi-million dollar Hermès Birkin bag possibly teach us about our Catholic faith? As it turns out, quite a lot. The way collectors prize, protect, and see these luxury handbags appreciate in value mirrors how we should view our familly, our spiritual life, and our vocation as wives and mothers —especially during the sacred season of Lent.
For busy women, finding time for prayer often feels impossible. Yet carving out just 15 minutes at the beginning and end of each day can transform our relationship with God. Prayer doesn't require perfect silence or uninterrupted solitude; it can happen while washing dishes, commuting on the subway, or feeding a baby. Just as a Birkin bag retains its value and can appreciate in value over time with loving care and protection of this prized asset, our daily tasks become pathways to sanctification when offered to God with love. It will also contribute to the development and enrichment of our relationship with God, and to our families.
The podcast invites listeners to consider a media fast this Lent—perhaps the most countercultural sacrifice in our digital age. By setting app limits or deleting social platforms altogether, we break free from comparison, perfectionism, and the dopamine hits of so-called "vanity metrics" of the number of likes and followers we get on our social media pages and accounts.

This digital detoxification creates space for gratitude, genuine human connection, and deeper spiritual focus. Complemented by practical suggestions for almsgiving through decluttering, preparing extra food for those in need, and giving up unhealthy habits, this episode offers realistic guidance for mothers seeking to journey meaningfully toward Calvary, and towards Easter. Whether you're balancing career demands or managing a household full-time, these Lenten practices will help you invest in what truly matters—your eternal soul and those entrusted to your care.

But the source of the suffering was still there . You still had your cancer , but you received comfort from the prayer .
