"My daughters, you all aspire to perfection. But what is your idea of perfection? Do you not often use this word in a vague and even false sense?

These are the first words of Monsignor Lejeune in his book Counsels of Perfection for Christian Mothers. Written around a hundred years ago, this book of instructions applies to our corrupt modern age at such great urgency. Where mothers are immensely overwhelmed with haste, worry, and confusion brought about by feminism and capitalism, the deeply respected author exhorts mothers to turn to the Mother of mothers, our Blessed Virgin Mary. The author continues: "Do you ask for an example of a perfect woman? I shall give it to you from the heavenly hierarchy, by recalling the life of Mary, who, in the matter of perfection, is the nearest approach to God.
