The words “this is my body, given up for you” are said at every Mass and spoken by every mother, day in and day out, as we wipe and wean and walk with our children through the mess, grime, joy, and delight of daily life.

Mary Lenaburg has had to “reset” in life a few times. Addiction, disabilities, financial woes, loss, and grief have touched her life, and in it all, there has been a willingness to walk into the fire and lean into the many spiritual, emotional, and physical resets required.
