Mother’s Day

Reflection

“When you look into your mother’s eyes, you know that is the purest love you can find on this earth.”  ~ Mitch Albom

Prayer

Tender God,

Our first experience of your love for us finds expression in a mother’s love. Today, we celebrate in a special way the beautiful gift of a mother’s love. Stir within us the flame of gratitude for the incalculable contributions our mothers make to our lives. May each mother know deep within, the thanks rightly owed them by their children and by the broader human community. May each mother know how much they are loved. And may we strive to share with others the love and care through which our mothers have shaped us. We offer this prayer along with Mary, the mother of Jesus our Risen Lord. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to say thank you to my mother, living or deceased, for everything she has done for me and to let her know how much I love her.
