PRAYER  - Diocesan Prayer Card

A Diocesan Prayer has been written and published. 

Prayer for Mother's Day

Dear Lord, 

We ask you to give thanks to all mothers who so generously and freely 

give love, comfort, and guidance to their children every day. 

We ask you, Lord, to provide them with the strength to continue doing their work. Let them know that they are loved, appreciated, and respected. 

We thank you for the sacrifice each mother makes every day. 

And we pray you to bless them and touch them with your Grace. 

We pray this in your mighty name. Amen.
