the Life in Liturgy website.
Mother’s Day Prayer
Loving
God, it is you who gave life and breath to everyone in our world, and in you
alone can we find life, breath and meaning for ourselves and our world.
For
those who have been blessed with an awareness of your mothering care, who have
looked to you for guidance and nurture, we give you thanks, and we pray that
you would unite us within your family to be a nurturing influence on others,
that they too may enjoy life within your family.
For
those who hunger and thirst, who are lost and alone, who yearn to be given new
direction, new hope and new life, we pray that you would care for them through
us. Let us be seen and known as your faithful children in this community of
faith to which you have given birth. Help us to uphold your name by acting, as
Jesus our brother, in faithfulness and trust in you.
Gather
us, Lord, as we lift to you the special needs we bring to this day, in silence.
Under
the shadow of your wings we find our refuge. In your gentle care we find our
home. And in your living Spirit we are united this day, Lord, as we offer to
you our prayers in the name of your holy Child, Jesus, the Christ.
