Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, aunts, and anyone else to whom the title applies -- you know who you are!

And to all the mothers who have been instrumental in my life - especially my own mother - thank you. Now I know how hard you worked.

Mother's Daily Prayer

God Almighty Father, help me to live today according to Your will.
Give me the strength to do the work of this day. Make no load too heavy to
bear, no duty too burdensome. Give me the time to fulfill Your will, time
to be joyful in serving You and my family, and time to have a moment of
peace.

Dear Father, give me a loving heart, a smile, a word of comfort for
others. Let me not do anything to diminish Your light shining about us
all. Let my words be cheerful, let my silence bring Your song of joy to me
this day. Amen.
