MOTHER’S DAY
(This prayer may be used prior to the Grace Before Meals or at the conclusion of dinner.)
Loving God,
as a mother gives life and nourishment to her children,
so you watch over your Church.
Bless our Mother.
Let the example of her faith and love shine forth.
Grant that we, her family,
may honor her always
with a spirit of profound respect.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
R/. Amen.
