Mothers' Day can be a mix of emotions for many people. Let us pray this week for all who are mothers, all who are yet to be mothers and all who are like mothers to us. For anyone grieving the loss of a mother, may God bring them comfort and strength.
Mothers’ Day Prayer to Mary, our Mother
Intercessions from 1727 the Liturgical Order of Blessing
Mary,
Mother of God
and our Mother,
pray for all mothers,
so that they will be able
to fulfill their maternal responsibilities.
Help them to be lovers and nurturers of
all human life from the moment of conception
until natural death,
all the while being examples
for their own children.
Pray for their children,
so that they, too,
will be faithful followers of your Son.
We pray for our mothers,
who have given us life and love,
that we may show them reverence and love.
We pray for mothers,
who have lost a child through death,
that their faith may give them hope
and their family and friend,
support and console them.
We pray for mothers who have died,
that God may bring them
into the joy of His kingdom
We offer these prayers
through Christ, our Lord
and your Son,
in union with the Holy Spirit,
one God forever and ever.
Amen
