Here’s
a Mother’s Day prayer from the Jesuit
Resource website.
In Gratitude for Our Mothers:
A Prayer
Good
and Gentle God,
we
pray in gratitude for our mothers
and
for all the women who have joined with you
in
the wonder of bringing forth new life.
You
who became human through a woman,
grant
to all mothers the courage they need
to
face the uncertain future that life with children always brings.
Give
them the strength to live and to be loved in return,
not
perfectly, but humanly.
Give
them the faithful support of husband, family and friends
as
they care for the physical and spiritual growth of their children.
Give
them joy and delight in their children
to
sustain them through the challenges of motherhood.
Most
of all, give them the wisdom to turn to you for help
when
they need it most. Amen.
