Mother’s Day

Reflection

“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.” –Maya Angelou

Prayer

Eternal love,

Our mothers so often reveal to us the paradox of grace united with strength. We are right to say thanks. For their sacrificial love, for their healing and comforting presence, for the way they always know just what to say to encourage and console, but also to urge forward and move on. May our mothers be blessed. We pray also today for those who are grieving the loss of a mother, or those who are hurting because this gift of a loving, mothering presence was either absent or distorted. May these also be blessed and find healing. May we all be inspired to reflect your own maternal heart of love to those we encounter. Amen.

Call to Action

Celebrate all mothers today! Remember to send a special note of love and appreciation to those who have mothered me.
