Memorare
Remember, most loving Virgin Mary, never was it heard that anyone who turned to you for help was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, though burdened by my sins, I run to you for protection for you are my mother. Amen Lighting Prayer Candles for mothers and women Within the Catholic tradition and many other faith traditions, candles are lit as prayers of intercession are prayed. Let us watch and pray as these three candles are lit. We light a candle and pray for all mothers in our community. (Light candle and pause) Lord hear us All: Lord hear our prayer We light a candle and pray for all our mothers and grandmothers who have died. (Light candle and pause) Lord hear us All: Lord hear our prayer We light a candle for all mothers and women in war torn lands, all mothers who are refugees, all mothers who watch their children die hungry and all mothers who live in violent situations. (Light candle and pause) Lord hear us All: Lord hear our prayer Think about out our mothers, our grandmothers or women who do or have played a significant role in our lives. Let us offer a prayer of thanks for these women who have touched our lives in so many ways. (Silent prayer) |

Mothers' Day May 13
Prayer to the Mother Mary, on this day when we honour all mothers, we turn to you. We thank you for the great gift of motherhood. Never has it been known that anyone who sought your intercession was left unaided by grace Dear Mother, intercede for all of our mothers. May they find daily strength to say yes to the call to the sacrificial love- the very heart of the vocation of motherhood. May their love and witness be a source of great inspiration for all of us called to follow your Son. For this Mothers' Day, Mother of the Word Incarnate, pray for us... In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
