This Sunday, May 12, 2013 is Mother's Day. May we all give
thanks for our mothers with this prayer... Loving God, as a mother gives life
and nourishment to her children, so you watch over your Church. Bless these
women, that they may be strengthened as Christian mothers. Let the example of
their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may
honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
