RELIGIOUS EDUCATION 

As we give thanks and celebrate Mother’s Day this coming Sunday, we are reminded that as part of Catholic tradition the month of May is dedicated to The Blessed Virgin Mary. The first 23 days fall within the liturgical season of Easter, which is represented by the liturgical colour white — the colour of light, a symbol of joy, purity and innocence. 

A MOTHER’S LOVE

A Mother’s Love is something that no one can explain. 

It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain. 

It is endless and unselfish And enduring come what may, 

For nothing can destroy it or take that love away. 

It is patient and forgiving When all others are forsaking, 

And it never fails or falters Even though the heart is breaking. 

It believes beyond believing When the world around condemns, 

And it glows with all the beauty Of the rarest, brightest gems. 

It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation, 

And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation. 

A many splendored miracle man cannot understand 

And another wondrous evidence of God’s tender guiding hand.
