Including Bethanga, Dederang, Mt Beauty and Tangambalanga Communities

We pray for young mothers,

who give life and count toes

and tend to our every need;

May they be blessed with patience and

tenderness to care for their families and

themselves with great joy.

We pray for our own mothers who have

nurtured and cared for us;

May they continue to guide us in strong and

gentle ways.

We remember mothers who are

separated from their children because of

war, poverty, or conflict;

May they feel the loving embrace of our God

We pray for women who are not mothers but

still love and shape us with motherly care and

compassion.

We remember mothers, grandmothers, and

great-grandmothers who are no longer with

us but who live forever in our memory and

nourish us with their love.

Amen

A Mothers Day Prayer
