Mother's Day Prayer

Remember with your comfort, O Lord, all those for whom Mother’s Day is difficult:  single moms with little support, those whose circumstances required that they find another family for their baby, those whose mothers have died since last year, those whose mothers were neither kind nor loving, those who have suffered the death of a child, those whose longings for a child have not yet been fulfilled.  Fill their sadness with your love which never disappoints us, never abandons us, and never dies.  Amen.
