A special Mother's Day Blessing to be offered at all Masses this weekend

Catholic Prayer: Blessing of Mothers on Mother's Day (Second Sunday of May

   
Prayer Over the People     This prayer over the people may be used at the end of Mass or other liturgical services on Mother's Day.

Loving God, as a mother gives life and nourishment to her children, so you watch over your Church. Bless these women, that they may be strengthened as Christian mothers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.
