Mater Amabilis translated from Latin means Mother Most Lovable and is a title of Our Lady in the Litany of Loreto (Mother Most Amiable).  Mary, under the title of Mater Amabilis, is our patron and our model.  The inspiration for the name comes from the Catholic parish of the same name in Ambleside, England where Charlotte Mason lived and worked.

The authors: British mother of three, Dr. Kathryn Faulkner and American mother of ten, Michele Quigley.
