The wonderful chaos of a mother’s heart
“Ingredients for an experiment (or a film, you decide): take love. Fatigue. Hurry. Patience…”.
This is how the article on “Jessie Buckley’s Oscar and the Revolution of Mothers” in Avvenire begins, dedicated to motherhood and inspired by the words of actress and new mother Jessie Buckley on the Oscar stage. The piece portrays the wonderful chaos of a mother’s heart, filled with love, effort, joy, and pain, with fragility and strength never known before, highlighting that choosing to become a mother today is an act of faith, a moral revolution.
In an era dominated by efficiency and productivity, raising a child remains one of the last experiences that elude all measures, and precisely for this reason it becomes one of the highest forms of dedication and hope for the future. As Jessie Buckley emphasizes, “continuing to generate life, relationships, and care is a small daily revolution”: a gesture of love that keeps civilization and hope alive.
