PRAYER FOR MOTHERS

We thank you for all mothers: the women you have called to bring forth new life, and women who provide for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those entrusted to their care. 
Give them the courage to raise Godly children through happy and difficult times and wisdom to guide their children on the path to eternal life. 
Fortify them through your Word and Sacraments to endure the challenges and trials of motherhood. 
Instill in them joy and delight as they accompany their children through the years. 
Shower them with care and support from their family and friends. 
Comfort those mothers who have lost their children and those children who have lost their mothers. 
In your charity, entrust all mothers to the tenderness of your own Mother, Mary.

We love our mothers, Lord. We ask for your blessing upon them this day and always. Amen!
