Loving God,
as a mother gives life and nourishment to her children,

may honor them always
with a spirit of profound respect.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.

Luke 1:5-6

Luke 1:46-48
And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord   and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,  for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed. 

John 19:25-27
Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.  When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son,"  and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
