Dear Lord - Thank you for the grace of love that is a mother; for her sacrifices, endearments, tireless and sometimes thankless guidance. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
We pray that Your comfort comes to those who ache a little more today as they miss their mother who looks down from heaven.
We pray for those who yearn to be mothers and are not.
We pray for those men who have had to take on the role of mother in bringing up their children.
We pray for those who have never known the grace of a loving mother.
We even pray for those mothers who are lost to darkness and have never taken the role of matriarch as a blessing.
As the day passes on, let us strengthen the bonds of family and friendships in celebration of mothers all over the world.
In Your name we pray and give thanks! AMEN
