This Sunday is Mothers’ Day.

God our Creator, we pray:
for expectant mothers, wondering and waiting;

for new mothers, coming to terms with new responsibility;

for all mothers...

-who are tired, stressed or depressed;
-who struggle to balance the tasks of work and family;
-who are unable to feed their children due to poverty;
-whose children have physical, mental or emotional disabilities;
-who raise children on their own;
-who have lost a child;
-who care for the children of others;
-whose children have left home; 
Bless all mothers, that their love may be deep and tender, and that they may lead their children to know and do what is good. May your loving hand guide them in the special work they do.  Amen.
