Blessing for Mother’s day - May 8, 2016 - St James Catholic Church - Tupelo Mississippi

Blessing for Mother’s day:

Heavenly Father, we pray for all of our mothers today and ask for a special blessing for them:

We pray for our mothers who have given us life and love throughout our lives, who have celebrated with us through our joyful times and who have been there through our challenges and struggles. 

We pray for mothers who have lost a child through death or through other circumstances, that their faith may give them hope, and their family and friends support and console them.

We pray for mothers who have died, that God may bring them into the joy of his kingdom. 

Loving God, as you watch over your Church, as you lead her and guide her, watch over all those mothers and grandmothers who are with us today.  Lead them and guide them, nourish them and give them life, just as they have nourished us and given us life.  


Bless these women, that they may be strengthened as Christian mothers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, their grandchildren and loving family members and friends, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect and devotion.  May almighty God bless all of you - in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  AMEN.
