Opening Prayer
We have set aside this day to honor the
contributions of mothers, O God. We
offer prayers of appreciation for the sacrifices and guidance that mothers and
mother figures provide. We pray for
reconciliation where families are hurting, and comfort for the ways the hearts
of mothers and children can be broken.
We pray for all who find this a day of sadness instead of joy. We ask that by the inspiration of your love,
our family love can be stronger, purer, less conflicted and more
nurturing. In the name of Christ, whose
love is abundant.
Amen.

Our
Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be

into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, and the
power and the glory forever. Amen.
