HAPPY MOTHER’S Day! ++++ {Many thanks for participating in this time of praise and reflection upon our loving God.} A Prayer in Gratitude and Blessing for Our Mothers Good and Gentle God, Lord of creation, we pray in gratitude for our mothers and for all the women who have joined with you in the wonder of bringing forth new life and nurturing with love, young lives. Jesus, you became human through the Blessed Virgin Mary. Grant to all mothers the grace and strength they need to face the uncertain moments that life often brings us all. Give them the ongoing strength to love and to be loved in return. Give them the faithful support of family and friends and the wider community. May they receive peace and joy from their family and friends. Give them joy and delight in their families and friends, to sustain them through joys and sorrows. Most of all, give them the wisdom to turn to you for help when they need it most. Bless all our mothers and grant them an eternal reward for their unconditional love and kindness. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. (Author Unknown (adapted by P. Kelly). Go forth, the Mass is ended. ++++++++ Archive of homilies and reflections: http://homilycatholic.blogspot.com.au To contact Fr.
