Dear God, you created each one of us, gave us the gift of life, and called us good. You sustain us and even when we fail to be good, even when we fail to live as your faithful children, you love us anyway.
God we thank you for your love; it’s a love that nourishes us in times of need, that brings light into our darkness, that carries us through distress and celebrates our joys…God we know that it is a sacrificial love. And so today especially, we thank you for all those in our lives who love us in the same way; who raise us up, who support and sustain us and sacrifice for us, and who love us unconditionally.
God, in your name, we celebrate our mothers and women who act as mothers. Thank you for their impact in our lives and the lives of all around them, our society and the world. We remember and pray for those who are trying to be mothers. God give them hope and peace. We pray for those who have lost their mothers, and we pray for those mothers who have lost their children. God give them your comfort and strength. And, we pray for those whose relationships with their mothers are in need of repair. God give them patience and faith. Help us to remember that with you, all things are possible.
Thank you for the love of your Son, in his name we pray.
Amen.
