Dear Lord,
On this special day, we show our gratitude for all Mothers.
We thank them for their all-encompassing love, for their commitment, care, and kindness.
We thank them for their wisdom, for helping us grow and flourish.

May the glory and the promise
of this joyous time of year
bring peace and happiness to you
and those you hold most dear.

Lord, you set your face towards Jerusalem and walked alongside those who suffer.
Be our vision that we too may walk the way of the cross and extend a hand to those we meet.

God, we thank you for all the different lessons we learn in life.
Continue to teach us what we need to learn.
Continue to inspire us to keep learning.
Amen.
