Mother's Day
Loving God, we ask for your blessings upon
all mothers, those who are present with us and those
who are no longer with us.
May they find joy in their children and be
sustained by the love of their families.
We also remember those mothers
who have lost their children,
and we ask for your comfort and
healing in their time of sorrow.
May the example of Mary, Mother of Jesus,
inspire all mothers to be beacons of love and faith.
