Mothers

Today we pray for:

• New mothers, coming to terms with new responsibility
• Expectant mothers, wondering and waiting
• Those who are tired, stressed or depressed
• Those who struggle to balance the tasks of work and family
• Those who are unable to feed their children due to poverty
• Those whose children have physical, mental or emotional disabilities
• Those who have children they do not want
• Those who raise children on their own
• Those who have lost a child
• Those who care for the children of others
• Those whose children have left home
• Those whose desire to be a mother has not been fulfilled
• Those who are grieving the loss of their mother
• Those who never knew their biological mother
• Those who have experienced the wonder of an adopted mother's love
• Those families separated by war or conflict

Bless all mothers, that their love may be deep and tender, and that they may lead their children to know and do what is good, living not for themselves alone, but for God and others.

Amen.
