A welcome article in the Catholic Herald by Daisy-Mae Inglese at the start of 2026 links the role of Mother Mary, with the qualities searched for by modern women both those seeking to live authentic womanhood and those facing struggles when trying to build their family.
In her insightful article, “Mary, the Dignity of Waiting,” Daisy-Mae Inglese explores this theme through the lens of faith and patience, inviting us to embrace the beauty of time in our reproductive journeys. There is a profound dignity of waiting, an integral aspect of the journey towards understanding one’s fertility. Waiting can often feel heavy, especially in a society that prizes instant results. Yet, it is within this space of anticipation that we learn the most about ourselves and our bodies. This is particularly true when it comes to understanding the natural rhythms of fertility. At Fiat FertilityCare, we utilise the Creighton Model FertilityCare System as the Natural Family Planning (NFP) tool to empower individuals in gaining a deeper understanding of their reproductive health.
By tracking cycle patterns and fertility signs, both women and men can develop insight into their unique cycles, moving away from the conventional methods that often overlook the body’s intrinsic wisdom. Through the Creighton Model and NaProTechnology, we embrace a holistic approach that respects the human body and its natural functions. This reinforces the notion that waiting does not equate to inaction; rather, it is an active process of learning, reflecting, and growing. In recognising the dignity of our bodies’ natural cycles, we invite our clients to find harmony and balance in their reproductive journey.
This method works alongside medicine and provides ongoing feedback. This in turn leads to more effective tailor-made treatment plans. Yes, waiting is often undervalued, but as the article indicates, the benefits make it worthwhile.
