Laetare Sunday – Mothering Sunday
Prayer for Mothers
Children lead the following responsory
- For the care of mothers;
All Thanks be to God. - For their patience when tested;
All Thanks be to God. - For their love when tired;
All Thanks be to God. - For their hope when despairing;
All Thanks be to God. - For their service without limit;
All Thanks be to God.
At the end of the distribution of flowers we all say this prayer. Everyone sits except mothers, who are asked to remain standing.
All:
Thank you God for the love of our mothers:
Thank you God for their care and concern;
Thank you God for the joys they have shared with us;
Thank you God for the pains they have borne for us;
Thank you God for all that they give us.
We make this prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
