A prayer for Mothering Sunday

We pray for all mothers.

For mothers here today,

For mothers far away,

For mothers with children and those with none,

For mothers and children who are alone,

For mothers feeling blessed,

For mothers feeling stressed,

For mothers giving birth,

For the fruits of mother earth,

For mothers to whom we have much to say,

For mothers who will die today, 

For mothers feeling homely,

For mothers who are lonely,

For mothers who are giving,

For mothers who are grieving,

For mothers who are tired,

For mothers who have inspired, 

For mothers taken for granted,

For all the faithful departed,

For my mother and for yours,

We give thanks to you, O Lord.
