Dear Parents,
This Sunday, we celebrate Mother’s Day. We recognize the important role that mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and all mother-figures play in our lives! We are thankful for the love they show us and the sacrifices they make for us. During this month of May, we also dedicate time to pray to our Blessed Mother Mary. We look to Mary as an example of faith, love, and courage as she said YES to God! Let us pray in thanksgiving for our Blessed Mother Mary and for all mother-figures in our lives.
Heavenly Father,
We Praise You and we thank You for the gift of our mothers, through whom You give us life and through whom we experience love. We thank You for Mary, the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, a mother so gracious and a woman of example in motherhood for all of us. May our prayer warm the hearts of all mothers. May they know that they are loved and precious. May mothers all over the world feel in their heart the joys of being called a mother and in all their goodness and all their failings, be blessed in Your love and forgiveness. We pray in Grace they belong close to You Lord Jesus Christ, AMEN.
(Prayer by Geevetha Mary Samuel)
--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez
