Mother's Day

On this Mother's Day, we pause and pray for:

• Expectant Mothers, wondering and waiting
• New Mothers, coming to terms with new responsibility
• Mothers who are tired, stressed or depressed
• Mothers who struggle to balance the tasks of work and family
• Mothers who are unable to feed their children due to poverty
• Mothers whose children have physical, mental or emotional disabilities
• Mothers who raise children on their own
• Mothers who have lost a child
• Those who 'mother' the children of others
• Step-mothers and mothers in blended families
• Mothers whose children have left home
• and for those whose desire to be a Mother has not been fulfilled

Let us honor our mothers and let them know that to us they are truly a gift from God - today and always.
