Mother’s Day Prayer

Prayer for Mother’s Day

Loving God,
we pray for our mothers, who have given us life and love,
that we may show them reverence and love,
and others who show us a mother’s love.

We pray for adoptive mothers and for the women
who wish to give birth but experience challenges,
that they know your care.

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

We pray for those who wish to serve as mothers,
but are not able to do so,
that they know your comfort.

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

We are a community of communities from the Murray to the sea.
Inspired by the Gospel and nourished by the Eucharist, we follow the example of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, reaching out in joyful and humble service, caring for all of God’s creation, growing in love day by day and looking forward to life with God forever.

Diocesan Vision Statement

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands in which the Diocese of Ballarat sits. We would like to pay our respects to Aboriginal Elders past, present and future. Their wisdom can help us care for the earth, our common home.
