Early on in Season 2, we see a dream or flashback sequence of Matt's where he's being taken care of by a mystery nun. While not explicitly confirmed, the likelihood is that the nun is actually Matt's mother, Maggie, who leaves her family behind to join a convent. 

Matt and his mother are reunited in the Born Again comic book arc, the seminal Daredevil story that Season 2 does quite a lot of setup for. Aside from the presence of Maggie, there's the hints towards Karen Page's backstory, her finding out Matt's secret, the implosion of Matt's personal life (in particular the breakdown of his friendship with Foggy), the number #227 on the ship towards the end, and the threats from Wilson Fisk about taking apart Matt's life, something that is a big focus of the run in the comics.
