Happy Mothers Day and Fifth Sunday of Easter

I pray you all have a great and blessed Mothers Day and fifth Sunday of Eastertide!

I found a nice Protestant Christian Mothers Day blessing and tweaked it a little bit, this will be the Grace I say at table with my family today, and I share it with you all now.

Dear God,

We thank you for the gift of motherhood. Thank you for the blessing it is to those who are called Mother. Thank you for the good plans you have in store for those who still wait to be a Mother. Thank you for the numerous children you have given to so many Mothers and mentors. We pray that you would fill this day with favor and grace as we honor Mothers all around our nation, and Mothers around our table.

 Today we give thanks for this food and all material blessings you have given us, and we pray for refreshing, for joy, for grace, for wisdom, for great peace...for all mothers, especially these seated here, for mothers to be, and for all women who nurture and lead.

Through Christ Our Lord,

+In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti,

Amen.

This Catholic Christian Mothers Day meal blessing was adapted from this Protestant Christian website.


Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!
Holy Mary, Mother of all Christians, pray for us!

Holy Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us!
Holy Mary, Mother of mothers, pray for us!

St. Joseph, protector of the Mother of God and Son of God, pray for us!

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, help us always!

Please remember me and my wife (a mother), as well as her mother and my mother in your prayers.

+Sincerely yours in Christ Jesus,
Jason Michael Spyridon Prewara+
