Today, as we celebrate
Mother’s Day let us take a moment to pause and pray for all Mothers, and
special women in our lives who we consider Mothers.
A Prayer from Pope
Francis in honor of Mother’s Day
Blessed Virgin Mary of
Fatima, with renewed gratitude for your motherly presence, we join in the voice
of all generations that call you blessed.
We celebrate in you
the great works of God, who never tires of lowering himself in mercy over
humanity, afflicted by evil and wounded by sin, to heal and to save it.
Accept with the
benevolence of a Mother this act of entrustment that we make in faith today,
before this your image, beloved to us.
We are certain that
each one of us is precious in your eyes and that nothing in our hearts has
estranged you.
May that we allow your
sweet gaze to reach us and the perpetual warmth of your smile.
—from Mother Mary: Inspiring Words from Pope
Francis
