Prayer for Mother's Day

My Mom and siblings in 1970. Yes, thumbs and pacifiers were popular.

A Prayer for Mother's Day 
Loving God, you are our Mother, and you have given us mothers to care for us. We thank you for mothers of blood, mothers of choice, mothers of the heart, and mothers in spirit. We thank you for their labor that brought us into the world and their labor that eased our way through this world. We thank you for the wisdom all our mothers have imparted to us and the guidance they have given us, even when we didn't listen. We thank you for all our mothers who have soothed our hurts and soothed our hearts. We know that all who have mothered us reflect your love for us, which never fails and never falls. Comfort those who miss or mourn their mothers today, O Love Divine, and bless all those who give their love to us as mothers. Amen.
