Mother's Day

What a privilege it is to be a mother! We are the gender to whom God entrusted the nurturing of new life. In this way, God gives us a special gift and ministry in His world. We are called, with Mary, to ponder all things in our hearts.
The Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, O virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
~Amen.
