PRAYER FOR MOTHERS

Heavenly Father,

from the beginning you have chosen to entrust

the human person to mothers in a special way.

We thank and praise you for the gift of mothers;

for their tenderness, care, and compassion,

for their intuition and encouragement,

for commitment and sacrifice.

Bless all mothers this day.

Keep, strengthen, and refresh them

in your loving care.

May they be blessed by our open-hearted

love and gratitude.

Amen.
