Mother’s Day Prayer
All-loving God, we give you thanks and praise for mothers young and old.
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 who wipes every tear away.
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.

Stewardship Reflection
“The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” 1 Pt. 2:7 Everyone is given unique gifts. Many people are able to recognize their talents and abilities, but there are many people who are unsure of their gifts. This may make them feel worthless. If you know someone who is struggling for a direction in life, give them a little encouragement. Help them discern how they might use their skills. No gift is too small or insignificant.

Checchio, Bishop of Metuchen, will celebrate Mass for Home School Students and their Families Wednesday, June 7, 2017 at 10:00 am at St. Magdalen de Pazzi Roman Catholic Church (105 Mine St., Flemington). Light refreshments and fellowship to follow. Please rsvp by May 31. Register online at diometuchen.org/homeschoolmass. If you have any questions, call Erin at 732-562-2463.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Have faith in God and faith in me.” - Jn. 14:1
-
St. Mary’s-Stony Hill, Watchung
Sharing the Gospel Worry. Many times we worry. We worry about sounds in the dark. We worry when our pet is sick. We worry when your parents are not home. We worry about strangers. Worry. Worry. Worry. Jesus says, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." Do the best you can and trust that God will do the rest.
